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.

Ingredients

Two ingredients that I have used to make these chocolate heart candy are Dark chocolate chips or Semi-Sweet chocolate chips and White chocolate chips.

How to make Valentine's Day chocolate at home

• Melt the dark and white chocolate chips separately in the microwave until they are melted completely, stirring them every 20 seconds or using the double boiler method.
• Add the melted chocolate to each cavity of a chocolate mold and tap it so it is evenly spread.
• Keep the mold in the freezer for at least 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove the chocolates from the mold, store them in an airtight container, or pack them in a gift box.
• For a chocolate swirl, drizzle a few teaspoons of melted white chocolate into dark chocolate or vice versa, and using a sharp spoon, swirl around in each mold. 

Variations

• I have used dark and white chocolate chips to create a contrast. You can use semi-sweet, peanut butter, butterscotch, and bittersweet: Any chocolate chips, morsels, or compound of your choice.
• If you know your loved ones like the crunchy bites in between, add toasted almonds, pistachios, raisins, and cranberries to make fruit and nut chocolate.
• You can also check how to make salted caramel truffles at home.

Storage instructions

Once the chocolate is set completely, please remove it from the mold and store it in an airtight conatiner. The chocolate will last as long as the date mentioned in the package you used to make candies.
