Ingredients
Candy Cane Hearts
- 28 mini candy canes
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Topping
- 1-2 tablespoons your favorite toppings crushed candy canes, festive sprinkles, mini white chocolate chips, etc.
Instructions
- Line a medium baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Clear some room in the refrigerator for this sheet. Set aside.
- Lay two unwrapped mini candy canes on the prepared sheet, flat and facing each other—the two candy canes should make a heart shape. Make sure candy canes are touching and as close as can be while laying flat.
- Add chocolate to a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just softened—the chocolate will continue to melt a bit after heating, be careful not to overheat. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
- Spoon melted chocolate carefully into a piping bag or zip bag with a tiny tip trimmed off. Pipe melted chocolate into the center of each candy cane heart. If needed, press candy canes together.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 mins, until firm. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
