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 – exact one here

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.

Get creative with the colors and flavors in these candies. You can change the toppings for different seasons, too. Get the kids in on the fun – they can help decorate once the candies have cooled.

Candy recipes have always intimidated me a bit. Making a Valentine candy recipe seems quite overwhelming but, if you tackle it step-by-step and take your time, it’s a lot easier. Play around with the colors and have fun with it.
