serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 pound good quality milk or dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 pound white chocolate, finely chopped

Optional Garnish
1/4 cup slivered almonds or pistachios
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded toasted coconut

directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Alternatively, line mini muffin tins with paper liners.

Place dark chocolate in a double boiler or in bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and stir until melted. Remove from heat and let chocolate cool about 5 minutes.

Pour chocolate mixture into pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe chocolate into heart shapes on the parchment paper, or fill liners about halfway full.

Garnish with nuts and/or toasted coconut, if desired.

Repeat with white chocolate, first melting as in the first step.

Transfer homemade chocolates to the refrigerator until set, about 20-30 minutes.
