| Updated:

If you can’t decide whether to buy roses or something a little sweeter for your other half this Valentine’s Day, then the Co-op has just the thing for you.

The supermarket has announced plans to launch a beautiful – not to mention delicious – box of ice cream cones just in time for February 14.

The sugary treats make the perfect 2-in-1 gift for Valentine’s if you ask us as they look like a bunch of roses, but offer that all-important sugar hit.

The Strawberry Rose Cones come in a box of four, so there’s more than enough to share.

They launch on February 1 and will cost just £2.

The floral cones – complete with green wafer stem – combine the fresh tang of strawberry with a smooth, luxurious vanilla ice cream.

And did we mention that it’s all topped with a delicious sharp-sweet strawberry sauce!

But that won’t be stopping us come the international day of love!

Gemma Gray, Co-op Ice Cream Product Developer, told Tyla: “We’ve taken inspiration from the Insta-famous gelato parlours across the globe and put our own Co-op spin on the frozen treat.”

She added: “Over the past 12 months, we’ve worked really hard to perfect the delicate ice cream petals on our Strawberry Rose Cones, making sure we were creating a product that not only looks camera-ready, but also tastes delicious.”

Gemma said the cones are the “perfect way to share a bit of love this Valentine’s Day, whether that’s with a partner or friends”.

Some fans have even gone to far as to suggest the cones could make a pretty sweet bouquet (that we’d love to catch!) on your wedding day!

It’s also worth noting that the most important kind of love you should be celebrating this Valentine’s Day is self love.

Which gives us free rein to eat all four!
