Candy Cane Hearts

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

White Chocolate

Semi-sweet Chocolate

Sprinkles

~Directions ~

1.  Place waxed paper or a Silpat 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.

3.  Melt the white and semi-sweet chocolates (in separate bowls), using short intervals in the microwave, or in a double boiler.

4.  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.  I like to use both flavors of chocolate for each heart.  So if I do a layer of white chocolate first, then after it cools a bit, I add a layer of semi-sweet chocolate on top.

5.  After adding both layers of chocolate, top with sprinkles of your choice.

6.  Set the baking sheet (of chocolate filled hearts) in a cool place (or the fridge) while the chocolate cools. Once cool, remove hearts from baking sheet and store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!

    So perfect for Christmas, but I could also see these resurrected in a couple of months for Valentine's Day with the white chocolate tinted pink or red. :)

    I saw these posted on Create w/TLC website and actually thought that they were brownies in the center. I am not a cook/baker so forgive my ignorance. Nevertheless, they look yummmmmy! TFS!

    Love this idea, but every single mini candy cane broke in the process of removing the plastic. I was being careful, but it still it got frustrating. Any helpful hints? I cut off the ends of the plastic with scissors and carefully tried removing the plastic, but they still broke.
