Even though me and my husband don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day (has he is at work) I am really starting to get in the Valentines mood. I have already started making treats for my kids starting with some yummy Marshmallow Valentine Pops. Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat these as I am a vegetarian and marshmallows have gelatine in, so yesterday I made something that I could enjoy too. I came up with these Valentine Chocolate hearts. And the best thing about them, apart from them being so yummy, is that they are straightforward, quick and easy to make. I like making simple things, anything complicated and it just ends up a complete mess when I make it.
All you need to make these are :
- A silicon heart shaped mould
- White chocolate
- Pink food colouring
- Sprinkles
Start by placing your sprinkles in the heart-shaped mould. I used pretty pink ones.
Brake up just over half a bar of white chocolate and place in a microwaveable bowl. Put in the microwave on a high heat for about 30 seconds. Give the chocolate a stir. If you need to melt it a bit more, just microwave for a few more seconds, but be careful not to burn it. Then add a few drops of the pink food colouring. Mix and then pour into the mould. I just over half filled each heart.
Rinse out your bowl and put the remaining white chocolate in and microwave till melted. Pour over the melted pink chocolate and fill to the top. Then place in the fridge to harden up.
When ready, simply pop out of the mould and enjoy!
And as you can see from my photos below, I was only able to photograph 4 of the 10 chocolate I made, as the kids pinched them! So if you have kids like mine, make sure you make a big batch so you get a look in.
What do you think of my Valentine Chocolate Hearts?

Oh, these look lovely. Even though I am not a fan of “overblown commercialism day” (Valentines Day), I’ll use any excuse to make these. I also like all the half price chocolate we can get tomorrow.

I’ve always wanted one of those heart chocolate moulds! So simple but so pretty 🙂 Much cheaper than buying a box from the supermarket I expect!

These are so cute! I love homemade gifts and chocolates are definitely a good one to give (I would have to steal some myself though!). 🙂 x
These are lovely! I made my kids heart shaped french toast this year and they loved it. This may have to be our Vday treat next year!

Oh, this is gorgeous. How I wish I kept all my (literally) 100’s of chocolate molds, but I gave them all away when we moved from SA to Canada. Thanks so much for participating and sharing at SSPS 295. See you again next week!
I love a quick easy treat like this! They look yummy.

These look so simple to make, it made me laugh that you had so few to photograph! Typical 😀 Thanks for sharing with us at Handmade Monday
I love an easy recipe! These turned out so cute. 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #23
These sound great! They seem pretty easy to make. I’ve got to keep using a mold in mind.
Thanks bunches and bunches for sharing this recipe with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
My first attempts at melting chocolate in a microwave were unsuccessful so I ended up using the old-fashioned bowl in pan of hot water method. These look fun and a perfect treat for Valentine’s. Thanks for the post.
