Chocolate Hearts Recipe

This chocolate heart is a favorite confection with both kids and adults. It can be made with your favorite milk, dark, or white chocolate and Rice Krispies Cereal. Simply melt the chocolate and then gently stir in the cereal. You can spread the mixture into a heart shaped pan, as I have done here, or else press the mixture into individual molds.

You could use egg-shaped cookie cutters for Easter or even pumpkins for Halloween. A fun idea is to make separate batches of these treats using all three types of chocolate so your guests can choose their favorite. Just make sure you use a chocolate you enjoy eating out of hand as this is really like a giant chocolate bar.
 

Place the chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted then remove from heat.

Gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated. Add more cereal if needed. Place the chocolate mixture into a 8 or 9 inch (20 or 23 cm) heart shaped pan that has been buttered and lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.

Note: Can also press the mixture into a 8 or 9 inch (20 or 23 cm) square baking pan that has been buttered and lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm, and then cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter.

Makes 1 - 8 or 9 inch (20 or 23 cm) heart shaped cake.

Recipe:

10 ounces (280 grams) semisweet chocolate, milk or white chocolate, cut into small pieces

3 cups (90 grams) Rice Krispies
