Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day approaches, and what better way to sweeten the celebration than with seasonal treats from your favorite chain establishments?
- Dunkin’ Donuts

Dunkin’ Donuts released its Valentine’s Day menu on Feb. 1. This menu features three limited edition items, including two heart-shaped doughnuts and a latte. The first doughnut is the Brownie Batter Donut. This flavor is made with brownie batter buttercream filling and topped with festive sprinkles. The second doughnut is the “Cupid’s Choice Donut.” This heart-shaped doughnut is filled with Bavarian Kreme and topped with strawberry icing and festive sprinkles.
Finally, to wrap up Dunkin’s holiday releases, there is the Brownie Batter Signature Latte. This beverage is the ultimate chocolate indulgence topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and festive sprinkles.
- Starbucks

Let’s take a trip back in time to look at some secret menu Valentine’s Day Starbucks drinks. The first is a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Latte. You can order this drink iced or hot by asking for a Mocha Latte with strawberry cold foam.
For my non-coffee drinkers, there’s a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino. You can order this frozen drink by asking for a Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino with mocha sauce.
Last is the Strawberries and Cream refresher. You can order this drink by asking for a Pink Drink, which is a strawberry refresher with coconut milk, topped with Sweet Cream Cold Foam.
- Savory Combo

If you’re looking for a savory main dish instead of a sugary treat, the Chick-fil-A heart-shaped trays have you covered. They’re back as a fan favorite for Valentine’s Day. From Jan. 29 to Feb. 24, you can get Chick-fil-A’s delicious nuggets, chicken minis, chocolate chunk cookies, and chocolate fudge brownies in an adorable heart-shaped container.
As an honorable mention, Papa John’s is offering a heart-shaped thin-crust pizza with one topping for $11.99 from Feb. 5 to Feb. 14. Similarly, at Pizza Hut you can get a heart-shaped pizza for $11.99 from Feb. 8 to Feb. 14.
- Dairy Queen

Concluding our Valentine’s Day treat tour is Dairy Queen (DQ). DQ has released a decadent Triple Truffle Blizzard Cake for the special day of Feb. 14. The cake has layers of peanut butter, fudge, and caramel with truffles in between, topped with chocolate and vanilla soft serve.
The final festive item added to the DQ menu is the Tripple Truffle Blizzard. This blizzard is inspired by the best flavors you can get from inside a box of chocolates, including caramel, fudge, and peanut butter.
Throughout February, many food chains are offering limited-time Valentine’s Day treats that are perfect to both enjoy alone or share with that special someone.
