Chocolate Hearts
chocolate heart cake

Rich, dark, sweet chocolate. I find that inspiring! I wanted to make an easy but special chocolate cake as a Valentine’s treat for my husband and son. They love chocolate too! I have a very fun and easy way to make chocolate heart decorations. You can add these to a cake you make (I used a cake mix and made a simple glaze) or decorate a purchased cake or cupcakes.

Chocolate Hearts:

Place a piece of wax paper onto a cookie sheet.

Put approximately ½ cup of chocolate chips in a sandwich baggie. Melt them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Knead the bag and continue to heat them for 15-20 seconds until melted.

It should only take a couple of times.

Push the chocolate toward one corner of the baggie. Cut a very small tip from one corner of the baggie.

Fold the top of the bag over and squeeze the chocolate from the hole as you draw some heart shapes onto wax paper. If you want to get fancy, you can make curly cues inside the heart shape.

Have fun, loosen up. If it doesn’t quite turn out, eat it. The idea is to add a little whimsical touch to the cake, not win a pasty award. Put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate. Then add to your cake.
