To Chocolate or not to Chocolate?

15 years ago

by Loralee Lewis

Chocolate dipped Cinnamon Hearts make deliciously adorbale Valentine gifts or party favors — and the great part is they are easy enough that your kids can make them.

You will need:
Chocolate (Purchasing baker’s milk chocolate is best, but for these we just used Symphony Bars)
Cinnamon Hearts or Bears
Wax Paper

Directions:
Melt your chocolate. Gently dip your cinnamon hearts in the melted chocolate. You can choose to only dip half or completely dunk the hearts. Our appetities wanted us to completely dunk the things, but our cuteness intuition won over with the half. (For more instructions on melting your chocolate check out our previous posts on dipping Chocolate Fortune Cookies or Gourmet White Chocolate Cinnamon Apples.) Allow all excess chocolate to drip into the bowl. Once dipped, lay your cinnamon hearts out on wax paper until dry (usually around 5 to 10 minutes). Place dipped cinnamon hearts in a cellophane bag, attach our premade tag, and deliver.
