Is that a warm bowl of Pepto Bismol or a special Valentine's Day meal for your bae? Kraft Foods is throwing caution to the wind this season, releasing a limited-edition Candy Kraft Mac & Cheese, which includes "a candy flavor packet to turn the mac & cheese pink and add hints of sweet candy flavor," according to the brand.

Kraft isn't the only brand shooting Cupid's arrow into the heart of consumers. Papa John's offers a heart-shaped pizza, though the pizza chain has struggled since founder John Schnatter resigned after using racial slurs during a media training exercise and ultimately resigned.

Krispy Kreme is getting in on the action, too, Delish reports. The doughnut empire will release heart-shaped treats in a variety of flavors.

And for those that just need their partner to chill out, Martha Stewart has entered the CBD market, releasing a Valentine's Day CBD sampler of wellness gummies.
