Candy Cane Hearts
Get into the holiday spirit with these adorable chocolate candy cane hearts. With just three ingredients they're a cute and easy no bake Christmas dessert.
Equipment
- Baking tray
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 30 mini candy canes
- ⅔ cup (100gms) white chocolate melts
- 1 tablespoon Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the candy canes and lay pairs of them together to make heart shapes. Ensure the candy canes are touching at the tops and bottoms.
- Melt the white chocolate melts in a microwave proof bowl in the microwave in 30 second to one minute bursts, checking after each time.
- Spoon a little melted white chocolate into the middle of the candy cane pairs and carefully spread it around to stick them together and form the center of the heart.
- Dust with sprinkles while the chocolate is still melted. Repeat with the remainin candy cane pairs.
- Allow to set at room temperature for about two hours or until the chocolate is fully set. Once set gently peel them off the parchment paper and you're done!
Notes
I recommend buying extra packets of candy canes as there are often several broken ones in the packet! I need two packets of mini candy canes to get enough unbroken ones to make fifteen hearts (so thirty unbroken candy canes in total).
Storage:
These cute no-bake hearts will store well in an airtight container for up to a week. After this they will still be safe to eat, but may start to go a little sticky over time. Make sure you line the container and between the layers with parchment paper to help stop them from sticking together.
