Sugar Cookies
Beascakes Bakery
575 Main St, Armonk; 914.273.3612
Nothing says “spreading love” quite like an expertly decorated, almost too-pretty-to-eat sugar cookie. But trust us, that feeling won’t last too long, and pretty soon all that’s let will be crumbs and glitter remnants.

Festive Brigadeiros
Boleria Brazilian Bakery
362 Mamaroneck Ave, Mamaroneck; 914.630.0100
For a sultry sweet that will make a lasting impression, the Brazilian brigadeiro should be your go-to. Made with a base of condensed milk and sold in a variety of flavors, our favorite is dark chocolate. Looking to make a bigger splash? The bakery is also filling chocolate shells with passionfruit, dulce de leche, and chocolate mousse.

Whoopie Pies
By The Way Bakery
574 Warburton Ave, Hastings-On-Hudson; 914.478.0555
This dairy-free and gluten-free haven has a plethora of treats to offer this holiday, from cake truffles to heart-shaped sugar cookies. The headliner that has us hyped for the 14th is the whoopie pie, a moist cake with chocolate goodness in each bite and dressed in pink for the occasion.

Sweetheart Treat Box
Flour Power
4668 Boston Post Rd, Pelham; 914.222.0704
Near, far, wherever they are, these ultimate treat boxes could make anyone feel the love. Available in the bakery and for delivery, the assortment of a chocolate-covered brownie heart, a love letter rice krispie, chocolate-covered Oreo lips, and two chocolate-covered pretzel rods beats any stale supermarket sampler by a mile. Plus how adorable is it?
Marry Me Cherry Pie
Noble Pies
22 Purdy Ave, Rye; 914.305.3174
While not inherently Valentine’s Day, this pie (as the name suggests) could cause a spur-of-the-moment proposal. Is there anything more romantic?
