Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (or white chocolate melting wafers)
- 1/4 cup red candy melts
- 1/4 cup pink candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Parchment paper (for lining)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. - Melt the White Chocolate:
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out. - Melt the Candy Melts:
In two separate bowls, melt the red and pink candy melts using the same method. Stir well until smooth and glossy. - Create the Swirl Effect:
Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper and spread it into an even layer. Then, drop spoonfuls of the red and pink melted candy onto the white chocolate. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. - Add Decorations:
While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles like heart-shaped confetti, glitter, or colored sugar crystals. - Chill to Set:
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened. - Break or Cut into Pieces:
Once set, break the swirled chocolate into bite-sized pieces or cut into fun shapes using a sharp knife. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve these colorful and creamy candies as a Valentine’s Day treat or package them in gift bags for a sweet gift.
