These festive, creamy white chocolate candies are swirled with vibrant red and pink colors, making them the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day! Simple to make, yet so delicious, these candies are a fun way to spread love and sweetness to everyone you care about.
Ingredients
- White Chocolate: The star of the show! Choose good quality white chocolate for a creamy, sweet base.
- Food Coloring (Red/Pink): Adds beautiful, vibrant swirls to the candies.
- Vanilla Extract: A simple addition to enhance the white chocolate’s flavor.
- Toppings (Optional): Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt to add extra texture and flair to the candies.
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Break the white chocolate into pieces and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave (stirring every 20-30 seconds to prevent burning).
- Add Vanilla: Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the vanilla extract to add flavor.
- Color the Chocolate: Divide the melted white chocolate into small bowls. Add a few drops of red and/or pink food coloring to each bowl, stirring gently to create swirls of color.
- Prepare the Molds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone candy molds.
- Pour the Chocolate: Spoon the white chocolate into the molds, alternating between the different colors to create a swirled effect. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt.
- Set the Candies: Allow the candies to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for 30-60 minutes until firm.
- Remove from Molds: Once the chocolate has set, carefully remove the candies from the molds.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy your candies right away or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Be sure to use high-quality white chocolate for the best results.
- You can mix multiple colors of food coloring for more intricate swirls.
- Keep the candies cool, as white chocolate can melt easily in warm temperatures.
