Happy Valentine's Day!

I have a huge sweet tooth, and that's an understatement. I love baking, but I've never tried to make candy. I saw this pan at the store and bought it, yes it was an impulse buy!


So I thought I'd try to make a little sweet treat surprise, the recipe on the back seemed easy enough. First, I gathered the ingredient.


Then, I heated the creamer, slowly, stirring constantly.


I measured the bittersweet chocolates.


Removed the creamer from the stove and added the bittersweet and vanilla. Stirring to melt evenly.


When it's all melted, I put it in the fridge to chill.


Next, I get to work on the candy shell. (Above was for the filling.) Now to make quick work of this, I melt the chocolate in the microwave. Then I used a baby spoon to coat the pan.


Now this goes in the fridge to chill. When hard, about 10 minutes, I take both from the fridge. I use a melon ball scooper and fill each candy cup with the filling.


I grab that baby spoon again, melt more chocolate, and seal the bottoms. Then in the fridge again for a good set.


About 15 minutes later, pop them out and we have some yummy and pretty candies!


Happy Valentine's Day! Xoxo
