Whether you're celebrating with your significant other, your family, or just treating yourself, this easy-to-follow recipe will help you create the perfect sweet treat!
Ingredients
For this heart shaped chocolate recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 6 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
To begin making your heart shaped chocolates, start by melting the dark chocolate. Place the chocolate in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water, and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and add the butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is completely combined and the mixture is smooth.
Next, heat the heavy cream in the microwave until it is hot but not boiling. Gradually add the hot cream to the melted chocolate while stirring until everything is completely combined. Finally, add the powdered sugar and stir until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
Now it's time to shape the chocolates. Grease a heart shaped mold with butter or cooking spray and spoon the melted chocolate into the molds. If you're adding chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the melted chocolate before it sets.
Place the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set and then carefully remove the chocolates from the mold. Serve the heart shaped chocolates as they are or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on the side.
