Candy Cane Hearts
Getting into the festive season we set out to try our hand at these white chocolate candy cane hearts we are seeing everywhere. They looked easy enough, and well....they were! Easy as pie!
So firstly we bought a giant bucket of candy canes and a
300g packet of white chocolate melts.
Next you simply pour the melts into a double pan and melt slowly,
careful not to burn your chocolate!
Stir the chocolate continually, until its beautiful and smooth.
Whilst the chocolate is melting arrange your candy canes into heart shapes,
pointing the curves towards each other, use large flat baking trays lined with baking paper.
Now your chocolate should be at a pouring consistency,
this should really only take a few minutes on a low-medium heat.
Simply using a large spoon carefully pour the chocolate into the hearts,
use a teaspoon to smooth out the bumps and push the chocolate into the curves.
You want the chocolate to be around the half way mark of the candy canes.
Lastly to give your hearts a little something extra smash up all the broken
candy canes or left overs. We used a snap lock bag and smashed them with an old jar,
save your good tea cups ladies!
Next you simply sprinkle the the candy cane smash over your hearts and let them set.
These are a perfect little christmas present gift for your work mates,
or if you want to take it a step further try using a tooth pick to create a
small hole before the hearts have completely set.
Then when they are dry you could thread threw a ribbon or natural thread to hand on the tree :)
