This Robot Valentine Treat is an adorable Valentine favor you can make kids that makes a cute and delicious healthy snack!
Love is in the air and today we’re sharing the cutest robot Valentine treat for the kids to design, make their own and then enjoy as an after-school kid snack. These Valentine treats would also be perfect for a classroom treat, Valentine’s Day dinner party, and even a sports team treat.
These robot Valentines are a blast to make because they allow for endless creativity! The robot shape is a unique and playful way to present a treat kids readily enjoy.
We also like how the juice and applesauce present a healthier Valentine treat to enjoy among the many more sugary options. Although we did use candy for the arms and chocolate for the feet you could easily substitute healthier snacks.
Are there substitutions for the Valentine robot parts?
You could easily use Jell-O, fruit cups, or even pudding cups in place of the applesauce. Use your favorite juice box brand and flavor of course. We love the ease of glue dots, but you could also use a glue gun to assemble the robots.
Get creative with the arms and feet. Some other ideas for the arms are Starburst, Kit Kat, Smarties candy, Dum Dum suckers, Fruit Rollup extended on the back side of the juice box, pipe cleaners, Pixie Sticks, or Laffy Taffy.
Additional ideas for the feet are mini raisin boxes, Nerds, Rolo, mini Peanut Butter Cups, Starburst, and mini Dots.
