Candy Cane Hearts

Whilst this may not be the healthiest snack or treat…. it is a yummy one!

What you will need

• Candy Cane (I used normal size here, but you can use the mini ones for bite size 😉)
• White chocolate (or whichever chocolate you would prefer)
• Sprinkles
• 2 baking trays
• Baking paper
• A bowl
• A spoon
• Cling film

 

What to do

• Preheat the oven at 180°c
• Line one of your baking trays with baking paper and line the other with cling film
• Take the wrappers off of the candy canes and place them in the shape of hearts on the tray with baking paper. Place in the oven for a few minutes (3-5 mins).
• Take them out of the oven and carefully pinch the joins together. This should make it secure enough to hold the chocolate.
• While they set and harden again, melt the chocolate in a bowl. (Over a pan or in a microwave- whatever your preference!)
• Take your heart shaped candy canes and place them on the tray with cling film on.
• Spoon the chocolate into the middle of the heart – a spoonful at a time and spreading it out so the whole of the inside of the heart is covered in chocolate
• When you are happy with the amount of chocolate filling the heart, sprinkle the toppings/sprinkles over the chocolate
• When they’re all done place the tray in the fridge to set. They should be good to eat within 30 minutes.
• When they are done and the chocolate is set, you’ll find that the candy canes are a bit tacky. Leave on the side for a few minutes before eating, or wrapping them up.

You can enjoy them yourself or give them as gifts.
