Gather Your Ingredients
To make these chocolate hearts, you will need chocolate chips, coconut oil, and heart-shaped molds. You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, whether it be milk, dark, or white. The coconut oil helps to make the chocolate smoother and easier to work with.
Melting the Chocolate
First, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely melted and smooth. If using a double boiler, make sure to stir the chocolate constantly to prevent it from burning.
Filling the Molds
Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the heart-shaped molds, filling them about three-quarters of the way full. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to fill the molds, whichever is easier for you. Make sure to tap the molds on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
Adding Flavors and Decorations
Flavored Chocolate Hearts
If you want to add some extra flavor to your chocolate hearts, you can mix in some extracts such as vanilla or almond before pouring the chocolate into the molds. You can also add some crushed nuts or dried fruit to the chocolate for some added texture.
Decorating the Hearts
Once the chocolate is in the molds, you can add some sprinkles or edible glitter on top for a festive touch. You can also use different colors of chocolate to create a marbled effect. Get creative with your decorations and make each heart unique.
Setting and Unmolding the Hearts
Chilling the Chocolate
After adding your flavors and decorations, place the molds in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. You can also place them in the freezer for a quicker setting time.
Unmolding the Hearts
Once the chocolate is set, gently pop the hearts out of the molds. If they are stubborn, you can place the molds in warm water for a few seconds to help loosen them.
Now your Valentine's Day chocolate hearts are ready to be shared with your loved ones. Package them up in a cute box or wrap them in cellophane for a sweet homemade gift. These heart-shaped chocolates are sure to make anyone's Valentine's Day a little sweeter.
