Ingredients
- Chocolate (dark or milk)
- Candy canes
- Coconut oil or shortening (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate by chopping it into small pieces and heating it in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Prepare heart-shaped molds by ensuring they are clean and dry.
- Fill the molds halfway with melted chocolate and tap on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Once the chocolate is set for about 10 minutes, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
- Pour another layer of melted chocolate over the candy canes to cover them completely.
- Allow the molds to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Carefully pop the hearts out of the molds and dip edges in more crushed candy canes or sprinkle sea salt, if desired, then store in an airtight container.
Notes
For a more glossy finish, add a little coconut oil to the chocolate. Ensure chocolate cools before adding candy canes to maintain crunch.
