10 Adorable Valentine's Day Fast-Food Items
As the most romantic day of the year, Feb. 14 marks a time for people to show their love and appreciation for their significant other. This is often through heartfelt cards, bouquets of roses, and expensive dinner reservations. However, just because you want to make someone feel special doesn't mean you need to spend a lot of money.
Keeping this in mind, various fast-food and beverage chains have released menu items in celebration of Valentine's Day. Yes, as you could probably already guess, many of these are heart-shaped. Some also have creative, romance-inspired names like Krispy Kreme's "I Love You a Choco-Lot" doughnut.
If you're still not sure what to gift your special someone on Feb. 14, you might want to consider visiting their favorite fast-food chain to score some festive bites. Here are 10 chains with adorable offerings you can get right now.

The Louisiana Kitchen is serving up some sweetness with the return of its heart-shaped strawberry biscuits. Available until Feb. 25, these buttery treats feature strawberry bits and a creamy icing drizzle.
Each biscuit costs $1.79, though pricing can vary by location.
