Valentine's Day Treats - MARSHMALLOW POPS

These Valentine's Day treats are super easy and quick to create!

 

 

You will need:

 

• Marshmallows (mine are heart shaped to run with the theme)
• Pink icing sugar
• White chocolate
• Variety of sprinkles
• Cocktail sticks or skewers

 

The first thing you need to do is to start melting the white chocolate and make up some pink icing.

 

        

 

Then make sure the cocktail sticks or skewers are the desired length, and cut if necessary.

 

 

Once they are a suitable length, push the marshmallows onto the end of each stick. Sprinkle your decorations out onto plates, so that you can easily stick them onto the marshmallows once you are ready.

 

 

Then its time to get creative! Dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate or icing sugar (I did a mixture of each) and stick them onto your decorations. Make sure they are nicely coated. You can do both sides of the marshmallow or just one side. Again I did a mixture.

 

 

Once you have finished being creative with your designs, leave them on a plate so that the chocolate and icing sugar has time to set.

 

 

And hopefully you should end up with some very pretty little marshmallow pops which can be enjoyed by everyone!

 

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!

Valentines Day Treats - HEART CHOCOLATE BITES

 

For these cute Valentine's day treats you will need :

 

1. A heart shaped cupcake mould tray (mine is a silicone one from Waitrose)
2. White Chocolate
3. Pink, Red and/or purple sweets (Smarties)
4. Sprinkles

The first thing I did was set up a pan of hot water with the white chocolate in a bowl over it to begin to melt the chocolate. Keep it on a low heat to ensure the chocolate won't burn. The chocolate can also be melted in a microwave if you prefer.

 

 

While the chocolate is melting, I separated all of the pink, red and purple sweets from the rest of the colours in the packets. This is because these are the colours most associated with love and Valentine's day.

 

 

I then sprinkled the sweets into the bottom of the cake moulds, and added pink sprinkles.

 

 

Once the chocolate is completely melted, wait for it to cool slightly, as you don't want it to melt the sweets and sprinkles that you have already placed into the cake moulds.

 

 

Once it is cool enough, pour it over the sweets, ensuring they are well coated. I roughly half filled each mould with chocolate. I think if you filled them up to the top, the treats would be too much in one go.

 

 

I then popped them in the freezer to set. I left them for half an hour and they were completely set, however I would check them, as this time may vary depending on how much chocolate you have used and your freezer setting.

 

 

And hopefully they should turn out something like these, or maybe even better!

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S!
