Hello Friends!!!
   Well Valentine's is just two days away, and I need to start on my goodies for my hubby.  Tomorrow my sister-in-law is coming over, and we are going to bake some cookies for the children, so I wanted to get Hubby's homemade chocolates made today.  So I will share my "Special" recipe - lol.  Enjoy!!

Take one bag of your choice of chips - hubby loves Hershey Special Dark.



 Pour contents of bag into chocolate melting pot.  Turn on high until chips are melted.  Stir frequently to help the melting process.  (You can also melt over boiling water in a double broiler, or in microwave.)




Have molds ready.  These silicon molds are for making ice cubes, but I find they work perfect for making chocolates.  I got mine at the dollar store up the street. (Not the Dollar Tree store.)  Pour melted chocolate into chocolate funnel - so much easier for filling without being too sloppy.  Fill molds to desire thickness of chocolate.  If intricate, like the Love words - then I would recommend to fill fairly full. 





After you have put chocolate in molds,  pound to make sure the air bubbles are out of the chocolate.  Place molds on cookie sheet so to lay flat and place in freezer for a half an hour to a full hour.  Take out of freezer, and press out from the bottom of the mold.




I then bagged each of the Love chocolates in a seperate zip close snack bag.  Then I placed the snack bags in a nice little cellophane Valentine Baggy and stapled shut.


I think Hubby is going to love these, even tho they will be very rich, they will last him a while!!!
I hope you have enjoyed looking at my creations - as you can tell, it does not take a smartie to figure these out - lol
Have a great day!!!
