Ingredients
- ½ cup Wilton Bright Pink Candy Melts
- 1 tbsp. Cream Cheese
- ½ cup Marshmallow Crème
- Red Coloring
- Small Candy Hearts, red, pink, or white
- 1 Wilton Stack-N-Melt Candy Mold
Instructions
- A Wilton Candy Melt Pot is recommended to heat candy melts. If you do not own a candy melt pot, simply microwave candy melts at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% in 15-second intervals and stir until completely smooth. Do not over heat.
- Using a spoon, slowly pour candy melts into each circular cavity. Rotate the mold from side to side, ensuring all sides are coated. Dip out any excess. The goal is to create a thin shell. Gently tap mold on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
- Place mold in freezer for 30 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine marshmallow crème and cream cheese. Add red food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Remove mold from freezer. Add marshmallow crème mixture into each circular cavity.
- Pour a thin layer of pink candy melts on top of each cavity, creating an enclosure. Wipe any excess from the side.
- Place mold in freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove mold. Gently pop each candy from the mold.
- Add a drop of pink candy melt to small candy hearts and place on each candy.
- Place candies in freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove and serve.
