Looking for the perfect handmade gift this Valentine's Day? Try making your own chocolate candies for a sweet treat that is sure to please!
There are many different recipes available online for delectable chocolate candies. Here are some of my favorites:
- Chocolate Truffles - From Food Network's Alton Brown, this truffle recipe is flavored with a generous dose of brandy.
- Chocolate Caramel Turtles - Pecans or macadamia nuts with gooey caramel encased in a chocolate coating.
- Chocolate Covered Cherries - A Valentine's Day classic! This particular recipe does not require the use of a candy mold.
- Peppermint Patties - For those who prefer the smooth, cool flavor of mint with their chocolate, try making these discs of deliciousness.
- Peanut Butter Cups - Whoever first paired chocolate and peanut butter was a genius. These treats are easier to make than you would think!
Be sure to make a few extra to allow for snacking while you package the rest up for Valentine's Day gift giving! Coming tomorrow... How to make a box for giving your Valentine's Day candies!
