Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day.

 Valentines day the most crazy holiday for yummy treats! And for this year I've made cupcakes, cakepops , cookies and chocolate treats.
The chocolate's you see above are two different types; chocolate bark and chocolate caramel!  Super easy to make! Especially the chocolate bark! All you need is chocolate and a mold! The caramel is slightly different, not as easy and more time consuming.  But it can be done!

Above here are my "Nuts for you" chocolate with roasted peanuts inside. So yummy and nutty, its a perfect combination!  
Mini Cupcakes ♥
Chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache on top with some sprinkles of love.  Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate for today. But its Valentine's Day, everyone loves chocolate! 
 
Cake Pops ♡
These were made from the left over chocolate cake, some cupcakes I didn't like how they turned out were crumbled into a bowl and rolled out. You can't see the lollipop sticks but they are there. Just simple piping with red melted chocolate and with the one in the middle it was piped with chocolate and topped with red sprinkles, do it quickly!  You don't want you're chocolate to harden before you top it the red sprinkles. 
And lastly, chocolate chip cookies with chocolate on top. Making these cookies are super easy,  so simple but you do throw away kind of a lot of cookie to just get this perfect shape. 
Using your favorite chocolate chip recipe roll out to a 1/4 thickness I use parchment paper on top of the dough to roll out easier. Get your heart shaped cookie cutter, preferably a stainless steal one. Cut shape, put in the freezer for 10 minutes or so and put in oven. Once baked, you have the option to leave as is, but I chose to cut into shape right away with the heart shape cutter. It will get hot and maybe burn, but its completely worth it! 
Happy Belated Valentine's Day

Baking's Sweet!
