Valentine's Day is synonymous with the traditional chocolates and flowers. But what if your valentine does not like chocolates? Shocking, we know, but those persons do exist. But the fact they do not like chocolate does not mean that they do not have a sweet tooth that they would like satisfied on Valentine's Day.

So Food went in search of some sweet treat for the unconventional valentine, and here is what we found.

Viv's Merry Munches

Viviene Morrison-Ivey has prepared some non-chocolate cookies, cakes and cupcakes that say 'I love you' for non-chocolate lovers to enjoy.

She told Food that she wanted to prepare something with a difference for the Valentine season, to celebrate the day in a different way.
