Ingredients:

  • hot pink candy melts
  • red candy melts
  • graham crackers broken into squares
  • Valentine sprinkles
  • PEEPS® Vanilla Crème Flavored Marshmallow Hearts


Directions:

1. Line baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. 
2. Using microwave safe bowls, heat red and pink candy melts separately in 30 second intervals. Stir regularly with a rubber spatula to prevent burning. Continue this process until completely melted.
3. Attached to a fork, dip each individual graham cracker square into the melted chocolate and coat each side. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.  Keep any extra for later use.

 

4. Place graham crackers on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes. Transfer red chocolate to a small piping bag or Ziploc bag. Drizzle on top of crackers and add a generous amount of Valentine themed sprinkles.
5. Refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes for chocolate to harden.
6. Remove and add heart shaped marshmallows to the center using a small dab of melted chocolate.  
7. Best consumed immediately but will keep fresh for up to two weeks if stored in an air tight container.


How fun are these PEEP-tastic treats to hand out to friends, family, and that special someone on Valentine’s Day? You can’t go wrong with chocolate, marshmallow, and a shower of sprinkles.

  1. Chocolate dipped strawberries are my favorite. I also like the red hots. Not big on the conversation hearts.
