You may not be able to see this sayings so this is what I wrote:

Popcorn: Popping in to say I love you

Gummy Bears: Life would be unbearable without you

Skittles: Skittle on over and be my valentine

Reese's Pieces: You stole a piece of my heart

Soda: I soda think you are amazing

Red Vines: You're as sweet as can be

Tape each saying to the candy:

Then I took some construction paper and made another note to explain the gift and also wrote Date Night in a box so I can put in on the basket:

The note says:

I realize that our lives can get crazy, but when it comes to date night we can't get lazy! To spend some time with my sweetie I have made date night oh so easy! For an evening with me that totally rocks everything we'll need is in this box!

Cut out some hearts with red, white, and pink construction paper
