When Valentine’s Day comes around this is a lovely treat to make with your little ones. They are such fun to make, taste delicious and are healthier than many of the high sugar alternatives available. You can use any sprinkles you have to hand – nuts, seeds, crushed up rice cakes… it doesn’t need to be fancy, just fun and inevitably rather messy.
Don’t worry if you do not have lolly moulds handy, you can simply make chocolate shapes. We have used silicone moulds but moulds from old chocolate boxes would work well, or simply spread a circle of chocolate on baking parchment.
Valentine's Day Choc Treat
