Instructions vary by product format: ready-to-bake dough typically directs you to bake in a conventional or toaster oven, while skillet-style dough often notes you can bake or air-fry directly from frozen; some dough products are marked as needing to be fully cooked before eating. Always follow the package time and temperature instructions.
Available labeling includes gluten-free and certified gluten-free, vegan/plant-based and dairy-free, non-GMO verification, kosher certification, and formulations labeled as tree-nut– or peanut-free or otherwise free of top 14 allergens.
Heart biscuits are commonly marketed for Valentine's Day and other gifting occasions such as holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays, classroom Valentine exchanges, party favors, and gestures like 'thank you' or 'get well.'
