    Chocolate Heart Candy Box

    Chocolate is truly one of those perfect things in life!  Well, at least for me it is!  LOL! 

    I adore chocolate!  It's smooth, creamy, luscious, very versatile, yummy and good for the soul!  It's a win-win don't ya think?  

    If you are looking for some other Valentines inspiration, I have a few recipes that I think you'll enjoy like my Heart Shaped Pizza, my Love Bug Cupcakes, and my Heart Rice Krispie Treats.

    Before you get started on this easy recipe, here are a few suggestions and tips.

    Why Should I Make This Recipe?

    For one, because it's so easy to do. Believe me, once you start making your own creations out of chocolate, you will want to keep doing it because it's:

    Easy - creating delicious edible creations out of chocolate is a lot of fun.

    Kid-friendly - the kids can even get in on this fun recipe.

    Homemade - giving someone a homemade edible gift is always a great gift idea.

    What You'll Need

    You'll find a complete and detailed ingredients list and directions below.

    Ingredients List and Instructions

    Candy wafers - you can also use baking chocolate or chocolate wafers.

    Melting chocolate - you can also either use a microwave or a double boiler to melt chocolate.

    How to Make a Chocolate Heart Box

    FAQ About This Recipe

    How do you make a heart shaped chocolate box?

    By melting chocolate and pouring it into a plastic mold like this one.

    How to remove chocolate from plastic molds?

    Once your chocolate has firmly set, remove it from the refrigerator and turn it upside down onto a plate or flat surface. The chocolate should come out on it's own. You may need to gently push it out with your hands.

    Can I add water to my chocolate to help it melt faster?

    No, whatever you do, do not add water to melting chocolate. It will clump up and be unusable.

    Equipment

    • Microwave safe bowl
    • Squeeze bottle
    • Small funnel

    Ingredients
      

    • Pink candy wafers 6 oz
    • Chocolate candy wafers 10 oz
    • Chocolate Heart Box mold
    • Various chocolate molds

    Instructions
     

    To make the heart box:

    • Melt the candy wafers according to manufacturers directions in a microwave safe bowl. While those are melting, place a small funnel on top of an empty squeeze bottle. When the wafers have reached a smooth consistency, carefully pour the melted candy into the funnel and let the melted candy into the squeeze bottle. Do this very carefully so you don't end up wearing any of the hot candy.
    • Once the squeeze bottle is full, place the lid onto the bottle. **Before you put the melted wafers into this mold, you will need to support the top of the mold as I did in the picture so the chocolate is even once you add it to the mold.
    • Squeeze the melted chocolate candy into the hearts on the mold.
    • Once you have the mold filled, carefully tap the mold on the counter so that you can get all of the air bubbles out.
    • Place the mold then into the fridge and let it set for 30 minutes or so. I let ours stay in there for an hour as I was working on other projects at the same time.
    • When you are ready to assemble the box, carefully remove the chocolate heart box onto a plate. To do this, take a plate and place it on top of the mold. Then turn the plate over while holding onto the mold.  Then fill repeat the process with the additional candies you made.
    • Assemble the candies inside the box however you would like.

      Hi I love this recipe! I was thinking about making a heart shaped box out of some sort of cookie dough like sugar or gingerbread. Any suggestions on how to do that.

        Hi! Thanks. That is a great question. You might be able to make a cookie shaped box by using a heart shaped baking pan. I'll try it this week to see what I can come up with.

      This is great. I used to craft my own soaps, and I'd get heart box molds for Valentines Day, make a big soap box out of that, and fill it with little guest soaps. Loved doing that!!
