Win the Valentine's Day Collection from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Something with strawberries and chocolate combined to me says Valentine's... Maybe strawberry ice cream with dark chocolate flakes in it, or dark chocolate ice cream with chunks of strawberries.

Spoon (bought it for my daughter a few years ago and I love it!)
New Cheerios Flavors: Multi Grain Peanut Butter and Dulce de Leche
I too wasn't thrilled with the Dulce de Leche Cheerios. The idea sounded great, but the execution was a bit lacking (and I'm a cereal fanatic, so for me to say something isn't that great takes some doing). The caramel flavor was IMO really artificial and left an aftertaste in my mouth. I'm a big fan of Banana Nut, Cinnamon, and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios though. The Apple Cinnamon in particular are awesome; they have the true apple cinnamon flavor that I wish Apple Jacks had. My husband is a big peanut butter fan, so I'll have to keep an eye out for the peanut butter Cheerios (though as far as peanut butter cereals go, it'll be really hard to beat Reese's Puffs, even if those should probably be counted more as a dessert than a breakfast cereal).

When I saw this, I immediately thought of Ina Garten's pecan squares, which call for a rather obscene amount of butter. The recipe makes a huge pan of bars, but from what I've heard, they are fantastic and make great gifts for friends and family. Here's the link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/pecan-squares-recipe/index.html I have read in reviews that they are best without the zest in the filling (Ina seems to have a thing for putting citrus zest in a lot of he recipes). I also second the recommendations of pound cake, croissants, and shortbread.
