These are one of my favorite simple Christmas treats. A perfect addition to a plate of Christmas cookies, and so simple. They are a project the kids can help with too.
You’ll need…
A box of mini candy canes
Semi-sweet Chocolate morsels
Crushed candy canes or sprinkles of your choice
~Directions ~
1. Place waxed paper or a Silpat
type liner on a baking sheet.
type liner on a baking sheet.
2. Lay two mini candy canes next to each other, creating a heart. Continue filling the baking sheet with heart shapes. Stick in a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes allowing the candy to mold together making a heart.
3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolates, using short intervals in the microwave, or in a double boiler.
4. After 10 minutes and the candy is molded together and when the chocolates are melted, spoon or pour into a piping bag or thicker ziplock type bag. Cut off a tiny tip from the bag, and begin filling in the heart shapes with chocolate.
5. After adding the chocolate, top with the crushed candy canes or sprinkles of your choice.
6. Set the baking sheet (of chocolate filled hearts) in a cool place while the chocolate cools. Once cool, remove hearts from baking sheet and store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
