Heart Shaped Valentine Candy Chocolate Fudge Recipe

Heart Shaped Valentine Candy Chocolate Fudge


Ingredients:
3 cups pink chocolate melting wafers (I use Merckens)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Assorted Valentine’s candy
Assorted Valentine’s sprinkles
Heart shaped silicone molds (I used one from Wilton)  **See note below for other sizes/shapes

Procedure:
Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave for one minute intervals on 50% power.  This will likely take 4-5 minutes depending on the power of your microwave.  Once chocolate is melted, stir in condensed milk and mix until completely combined.  Spoon 4-6 tablespoons of fudge into heart shaped wells, and place candy and sprinkles on top as desired.  Allow to solidify on the counter for a couple of hours, or place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.  Remove fudge from molds by pressing bottom of the fudge up and out of the mold.  Arrange on a serving plate, or package up for a gift and enjoy!

** You can also make this recipe in an 8″ X 8″ pan if you don’t have or don’t want to, make it in the silicone mold.  Any sized silicone mold will work.  Keep in mind that you do not have to fill each of the wells up, you can put as little or as much into each of them.  If you want a thinner fudge, use a larger pan 9″ x 13″.
