Chocolate heart candy - Homemade gift for your loved ones
Want to surprise your loved ones? Have chocolate chips ready in your pantry? Do you have an empty ice cube mold that is lying around? Then melt some quality chocolate chips of your favorite brand and surprise your loved ones.
Who will not love chocolate? My in-laws, even today, share a bite of dark chocolate after every meal 🙂 I thought a box of homemade chocolates would be the best gift you can give your loved ones on this special day and other special occasions.
If you have some reliefs or designs in your chocolate or ice cube mold, use melted chocolates of different kinds and get creative.
