Cha Cha Chocolate

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a super last minute idea or more likely – an early idea for next year. Just something quick and cute.

And if you don’t need any treats, you might want to mosey on down towards the middle of this post.

I made little heart chocolates. Hi.

IMG_6110

And packaged them up like tiny candy bars. Too cute. And thanks for reading.

This is super easy. You’ll need a candy mold though. The product number is in the photo below if you want to search for it. I found mine at Cake Art. The squares are 1.25 inch.

And because I have a mini candy coating store growing in my kitchen, I decided to use some of it up for these.

Melt pink candy coating and then using a toothpick, draw heart shapes in the cavity of the candy molds. Let it dry and then pour melted chocolate candy coating over the top. Mercken’s is what I used for these. Fill the cavity enough so it reaches the corners without overflowing and then tap the mold on the counter to settle and even out the coating. Repeat with the remaining cavities. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set and then pop them right out of the mold and place on wax paper. Repeat and repeat until you have what you need.

Of course, you make these even easier and unwrap existing candy bars to use.

Now the fun part. I had these pink foil wrappers that were lonely and waiting to cuddle something. They were really too big for the bars I made so I cut them in half.

Lay the chocolate on the wrapper, fold the two short pieces first and then the long ones.

The foil is super thin so you can press it pretty flat.

These are also fun to wrap up your cake pops if you do simple decorations.

After your bars are all wrapped in foil, you can add paper wrappers.

I created these with different sayings.

Even one for the pinterest lovers out there.

Here’s a pdf if you want it.

Making your own wrappers is a cute gift or favor idea. Use the same process and create your own wrappers for your theme. You can turn any candy bar into something a little more special.

But now let me tell you why I really made these.

I bought something for myself a few weeks ago that I thought was the cutest thing ever.

Or at least the cutest thing that week.

It was on sale thank goodness. Wanna see?

It goes with the theme so far.

And it’s really what inspired these tiny wrapped chocolate bars.

But this chocolate is a little bit bigger.

And sassier.

The good thing is it won’t melt in my hands.

Check it out. A Cha Cha Chocolate Clutch.

IMG_5896

From Kate Spade.

Loving the label.

IMG_5917

And look at the chocolate candy clasp.

I die.

IMG_5926

And the inside lining. So cute.

IMG_5922

It’s pretty big, too. Actually it’s a really big clutch.

IMG_6184

Big enough to carry all my cha cha chocolates.

IMG_5944

Thankfully it has a chain strap, too.

IMG_6163

And yes, I couldn’t help but make little Cha Cha labels. It’s just too much fun to say.

But I haven’t mentioned the best part about this bag. It turns out I didn’t just buy one.

Yep. Right now I have one for each hand and that just looks plain silly.

  1. My mother. She is the most amazing person ever. I have seven siblings, and she somehow finds time for all of us.

  2. I’m going to tell you about my sister, who is relentlessly hardworking and giving and spends her spare time and spare money on the differently-abled children in her preschool rehab program. I’m not much of a purse person so if I were lucky enough to win this clutch it would go straight to her.

  3. This is so stinkin’ cute.

    What I love about my mom is her servant’s heart, her willingness to help anyone in need, and her heart that keeps on loving.

  4. I love this idea and will modify it for an upcoming baby shower. And I love my Valentine. Married to him for 30 sweet years and he’s still the one.

  5. Cha-Cha Chocolate!! I really thought it was a chocolate bar!! I wanted to eat it !!

  6. My hubby rushed downstairs before me (after only an hour of sleep) just so he could stand beside the table where he had set up the gifts & handmade card he had gotten me! As wonderful as his gifts were, the best part was his smiling face & knowing how much he loves me! He is and always will be my favorite Valentine!

  7. First, I LOVE those chocolates!!! SO cute!!

    My sweet valentine of course is my hubby of 6 years. He is the sweetest thing and I am so happy he is mine! ;-)

  8. You’re pink heart chocolates are AWESOME! You are AMAZING! Definitely gonna have to give this a whirl next year. Thanks for being such an inspiration. And that cha cha chocolate purse is way too cute…I just want to eat it ;)

    My special someone is my hubby…he is so kind and patient. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  9. Cute! You are so inspiring!
    I love my mom! She is awesome raising 10 children!, so lovely, thank God to have her…

  10. LOVE THIS CHA CHA CLUTCH!
    My super sweeties today and always are my little girls, Ellie & Sadie. Right now they are giving each other Valentine’s squeezes and sisterly love! They are the sweetest, most loving daughters a mom could ask for!

  11. Hubby…I may have to make you some chocolates!!!

  12. That clutch is so cute…and so are the mini chocolates!

    My husband means the world to me. He is my rock and is always there for me. I love him more than anything! Happy Valentine’s Day!!

  13. How fun!

    My sweet hubby had a panicked look on his face this AM when i surprised him with some sweets as he proclaimed, “but I didn’t get you anything!” Hah – I honestly enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them!!! :D

  14. Those are too cute. You are certainly not afraid of time consuming tiny projects. You are amazing!!

    My special someone is my Husband of almost 10 years he ALWAYS opens my door for me he is a definnite Keeper!!

  15. LOVE this idea and the purse.
    Our new baby is the sweetest thing in the world. Our 2.5 year old is the funniest guy ever. And my husband is sestined for sainthood for all that he puts up with!

  16. Oh Bakerella! You are too sweet! Thanks for picking up an extra purse for me! ;^)

    I have been blessed by family and friends with loads of love lately. We have had so many little sicknesses…yucko! My wonderful mom even dropped by with a balloon for each of us and cards for the girls, which really brightened our day!

  17. I love my boyfriend Chris because he takes care of me when I’m sick! Which I have been…for a week now. :-/

  18. The chocolates look so easy! I might have to make them for my friends next year. And my valentine this year is my mom, who supports me no matter what. :) Plus she sends me cookies in the mail!

  19. Love your chocolates! What a great idea. As for something sweet—– between my two toddler boys, and a considerate and over the top cheesy lovin’ hubby, I really couldn’t choose who could be my valentine. My life overflows with love, even if I do have floors full of crumbs, dirty smudgy fingers on my fridge, and muddy shoe prints on my carpet (which I just had cleaned today– thank goodness). Happy Valentines Day to you and thank you for all of your genius and dangerously unhealthy ideas. I love it all. :)

  20. My hubby is my sweetie. we have been together for 18yrs, married for 14 1/2. He is amazing

  21. I love my daughter. I love watching her grow into such a beautiful, intelligent person. She is my world and my best friend. Happy Valentine’s Day Dahlia I love you!

  22. Firstly, lemme just say how adorable the chocolates are. AND THE PURSE. ITS BEAUTIFUL.

    And my best friends are all I need <3

    niuniuzheng at gmail dot com

  23. I’m just starting a new relationship, so I can’t say I love him yet, but the person I’m dating is the nicest, kindest guy ever. So I’d say I’m pretty lucky :)

  24. Ok I was going to comment alone on the cutest little chocolates I’ve ever seen, and how I may need the “too late” label…

    then I saw the clutch…
    and I read how you wanted to give it away. Ahhh!!!

    My hubby is my sweet obsession. I made my own chocolates with a DIY wrapper for him today as well, with hope that he knows how sweet I think he is.

  25. I have great big fantastic loves for my fiance and all of our friends and family!! :)

  26. OMG I woould love to time share this with all the girly girls in my life! They are sooo awesome!

  27. You are so creative!

    My boyfriend is great. I walked into work with a bouquet of a dozen roses waiting for me on in the office. It was absolutely unexpected because I spent the whole day with him! I can’t wait for our dinner tonight!

  28. My special someone is really 3 people; my kids. Together they are: intelligent, wise, beautiful, handsome, sweet, thoughtful, generous, and courageous. Separately they are: an Air Force airman, a college Freshman, and a high school Freshman. They never fail to put a smile on my face. :)

  29. These candies would be so much fun to make, and they’re the perfect size for my little valentines. :)

  30. My best friend is always there for me no matter what, especially like now when neither of us has a valentine!

  31. Josh you are the bestest husband a girl could ever ask for. Looking forward to a romantic night in with a heart shaped pizza tonight – LOVE YOU!

  32. It’s Valentine’s Day and my wonderful hubby is home with our sick kiddo so I can get some work done. He’s taking one for the team and I couldn’t love him more!

  33. I love my mom because she is always there for me and helps me with everything.

  34. My neighbor is sweet- she bakes us delicious cookies during the holidays.

  35. I probably still have time to make those chocolates so adorable. Someone I love my boyfriend he’s is just amazing person, he’s my glue that keeps me together when I’m falling apart.

  36. My husband puts up with me when I am grouchy, moody and pregnant. I will admit I am difficult to live with (while pregnant), but he is patient and kind and tells me he loves me daily even though I am sure it is a struggle at times.

  37. Much love to my husband of 15 years who makes every day seem like Valentine’s Day!

  38. I was going to purchase this purse on the KS website, i love this! Thank you Bakerella for everything that you do!

    My husband is my rock. He is the best father and husband anyone can ever ask for. We are high school sweet hearts and have been together 17 years and married 9. When he kisses me it’s like love at first kiss <3 <3

  39. Love the chocolates…love,love,love; but today and everyday my husban is my Valentine. When he wokeup today, he hugh me and said I’m supposed to do this today, then he kissme and said I’m suppossed to do this today and I started to laugh and ask him then why you did it yesterday?,and he answer laughing, Because I Love You everyday not just today!
    Happy Valentine’s day to all

  40. LOVE that purse! That would have been perfect for my 15 year old Valentine to deliver the chocolates she made for her friends at school today. Even at 15…she is still my little girl. (Whether she likes it or not)

  41. My hubby is amazing! And this year we’re celebrating our little valentine on the way. :)

  42. my boyfriend is really sweet :) we’ve been together for over four years now and he’s my best friend.

  43. I love my mom! I know you can relate with your mom giving her organ for you

  44. those choclates are super sweet.

    This year was my daughter’s first Valentine’s Day. Poor bubs wasn’t allowed any chocolate or cake though. She has the cutest giggle and the sweetest smile. I may be a bit biased though.

  45. Anyone who loves to love I love! I love life, good people, and my trusty husky, Bernard! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

  46. That is soooo cute. Am I supposed to answer a question? I got a little too excited when I saw that you were giving one away and didn’t pay attention ; )

  47. My nephews are my valentines this year. they made me the cutest little valentines at school today. we baked cupcakes together after their homework tonight and we had so much fun!

  48. My husband & I where wondering this morning how in the world did 23 years go by already? It’s really amazing how much we love each other even more then when we first got married.

  49. Happy Valentine’s day!

    Love Kate Spade…Love Chocolate…but you know what love more than that????

    My wonderfully amazing son, Sean!!!! He is my baking protege and inspires every creation I make! Mommy loves you Pooh Bear!!

  50. I love that my husband is as much of a nerd as I am :)

  51. I LOVE THESE they are just too cute! My dad and mom mean the world to me. They will do everything they can to make me happy, there always there for me and support everything i do. I could not ask for better parents. :)

  52. Love it!! My someone special is my husband of 11 1/2 years…he made me a homemade valentine and wrote the sweetest message; it meant more than any “purchased” gift!

  53. I would like to say my boyfriend is very good and sweet to me I especially love his letters with the cartoons he loves drawing all over them. He is the cake to my pop ha ha cake humor xD

  54. My special Valentine’s are my little kiddies :)

  55. miss my sisters… wish they were here, they really are the sweetest

  58. Angie, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity! My Valentine is my darling husband who is always supporting my baking endeavours and smiles every time I send him running around the city to get last minute supplies for me!

  59. I waited 63 years to find my One True Love. We were married a month ago, and he is the BEST! And worth the wait!

  60. My Daniel is absolutely wonderful. He doesn’t always see it, but he is certainly one of a kind. I think he’s the most wonderful man in the world. =]

  61. My husband and I have recently fallen in love all over again during our current weight loss journey. He is trully my partner for life. Love him.

  62. I have the sweetest Valentine’s in the world, my son and daughter who are both still in elementary school. I never want to wait until the last minute but we always do but we had such fun picking and crafting the perfect Valentine’s for their classes.

  63. I have the most wonderful husband in the world! This year we will celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary!

    I am so proud that our son has learned from his father and he treats our beautiful daughter-in-law the same fantastic, loving, romantic way his Dad treats me! They are all pretty darn special – daughter-in-law too!

  64. Those chocolates are so adorable!! And I LOVE the clutch!
    My Valentine is my husband, he has supported me through my very long period of unemployment (over a year!), and always brings home chocolate when I’m feeling low.

  65. Love those little chocolates… Must get some of that cute foil.

    My house is full of special someones from hubby to daughters to dog… Love them all!

  66. My Husband got me the most hilarious card. It was so funny I almost cried, and also laughed for like 20 mins straight. He’s so awesome.

  67. My husband (of six months) is the sweetest person ever. Every day he makes me a sandwich for my lunch and is always sending cute texts while we’re both at work. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful partner!

  68. Love the idea, have plenty of candy melts in my kitchen s well.

    My special valentines would have to be my 3 kids and the lil one on the way. They always seam to know how to put a smile on my face.

  69. I would looove to win this clutch, so vintage and beutiful. The person I will say something nice and lovely about is my wonderful daughter Elvira who by just being her makes me smile.

  70. I love my two little ones so much! Can’t wait to get done with work, pick them up from preschool and have fun making heart shaped pancakes with sprinkles!

  71. My special someone is my mother. She is a single-mom who has worked her butt off for me and my little brother. I love her and wish I said it more often to her.
    Also, your chocolates are way cuter than the purse! :)

  72. I love these! I also love how you find inspiration out in the world and turn it into yummy adorable goodness. My special someone is my husband. 16 years and 4 kids later and it feels like just yesterday that we said those vows. He makes me laugh, puts up with my nuttiness, and stays up with the baby in the wee hours of the night. He’ll always be the one for me! Happy Valentines Day!

  73. thanks for the cute idea.

    my someone special is my boyfriend–with him, every day is Valentine’s day. i’m so blessed.

  74. I love Valentine’s Day, so happy I woke up this morning next to the person I really love <3

  75. Oh my gosh! Those chocolates are adorable! And so is that clutch!
    I love my mom, because she is a strong and independent woman, and she tought me how to be strong and independent. She always supports me no matter what I do, and she always makes me smile when I’m not feeling well. I love you, mommy!

  76. Too cute!! My Mom is my valentine and she is so thoughtful and gives me a little present for every holiday, even though I don’t live at home anymore

  77. che belli!
    the perfect way to say I love you to husband and children and sisters and parents and friends all.
    buon san valentino a tutti!!

  78. Wow, what a wonderful offer!

    I love my husband to pieces. He doesn’t do big romantic gestures, but he’s steady and wonderful every day and that means much more to me :0)

  79. My sister sent me the cutest ecard ever today. She said I was the best sister ever. Loved it. And love her. To the moon and back.

  80. To me Valentines is everyday. My special Love is my husband and Kids and Grandkids. My husband is a respectful hardworker who thinks about the family before he thinks of himself. Of course he is loveable and kind, we rarely argue and we have a Good relationship. I thank God i met him, everyday of my life. And thats why He is very special to me.

  81. Every year I look to this site for valentine’s inspiration and am totally blown away! I know my treats will never live up to these but it’s the thought that counts right? My valentine is my husband and I know he loves me more than anything because he puts up with my sprinkle obsession <3

  82. oooh i want it
    :)

  83. My husband is the best Valentine. I told him I loved him for the first time 7 years ago today, he proposed 2 years ago today and this Valentine’s Day we’re buying our first house. Much better than the standard flowers and chocolate (but only a little better than chocolate).

  84. I have the VERY BEST VALENTINE. Everyone else might think they do, but I’m sorry to report: I DO. My husband, Andrew, is the sweetest, kindest, funniest, cutest, most generous person in the whole world. I’m so grateful to call him my Valentine every day of the year!

  85. Even though my hubby and I can’t be together today. I tucked his valentine in his suitcase and he left a love letter for me. So thoughtful. What an amazing man!

  86. Oh my goodness, so much sweetness in this post! I love the cha cha chocolates, the wrappers and the sweet clutch! I always to something special for my 7 guys on Valentine’s day which is to make them sugar cookies with royal icing. I also made my sweet husband (who just bought me an open heart necklace for our 19th anniversary which was yesterday!) a candy jar etched with his name and little pieced of candy on each side of it. I filled it with his favorite chocolates because I am so sweet on him!!!

  87. What cute chocolates! You are so creative.

    I love Tyson. He is so sweet and generous to me. He is also very cute when he laughs.

  88. My husband and my son, the two loves of my life. Only thing I can really say is that I would give the world if I could to both of these boys.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  89. This is a really cute idea! What about a chocolate purse could a woman not love:)

    Glad you are back and sending out messages. I know alot of prayers were spoken on your behalf.

    Keep on the chocolate side of life:)

  90. Such a cute clutch!

    I have lots of someone specials… but I’ll go with my hubby. He’s the best and me can always make me laugh. Love you honey!

  91. My mother has such a kind heart :) She got me some wonderful Valentine’s Day goodies! I have seen an advertisement for this clutch – love it!

  92. I have too many lovely people in my life to pick just one special someone! All my amazing friends and family mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful I get to have them and an amazing boyfriend.

  93. I love Valentine’s Day and everything about it. It’s wonderful that there’s a day out there to really emphasize the feelings you have for someone. Those feelings can get bogged down by the monotony of everyday activities, but on Valentine’s Day, you scream your love from the rooftops. So, here it goes: I love my boyfriend! I love my mom! I love my dad! i love my sister and brother and stepmom and stepfather! And most of all I love my two weenie dogs!

  94. these are awesome and the purse is so cute!!

  95. Oh my goodness, I die! That is just adorable!

    Of course I have to say something sweet about my hubby, we’ve just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and I can’t wait to spend many more with him. He’s been my rock the last few weeks when life has gotten hectic.

  96. This is quite the ultimate chocolate giveaway

    My special someone is by boyfriend. We’re doing long distance right now, and after 3 years together and 5 years of knowing each other, I still get butterflies every time I see his name light up my phone.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  97. My husband is the man I want to be with for the rest of my life. He is my valentine. <3

  98. Cute clutch!! I could really use that this Saturday for an awards banquet! Or any time… :)

    I really don’t know how to put all of the wonderful sweet things about my hubby into this one little post. But I’ll just say that he’s the sweetest sweetie anyone could ever hope for (& so is his family)! I am truly blessed!

  99. My best friend is the sweetest. Even though we are thousands of miles apart, she emails me often and when I visit back home, it’s like we were never apart.

  100. My hubby tells me I am beautiful every day…even when I am big and pregnant!

  101. Love the chocolates and esp the wrapper ideas – I’m more of an unvalentine person so I could really have some fun with these!!
    But the love of my life is my 10 year old boy – he may not give me valentines but he gives me his love every hour of every day and that is plenty for me…

  102. Happy Valentine’s Day! What a cute clutch. My lovey dovey’s are my sweet husband, Fred & our 8 yr. old daughter & 4 yr. old son. I received the cutest Muppets valentines & lots of hugs & kisses. You can’t ask for much better than that.

  103. That’s so cute.
    My husband stayed home from work today because I was sick. He made me a delicious breakfast in heart shapes.

  104. Hi Bakerella! happy Valentine’s Day! Wow how i would love to win that! My valentines are my hubby and four daughters as always my special sweet little family love them to bits! I made them heart shaped cake pops with tiny candy hearts to decorate and chocolate covered strawberries. THE BEST

  105. My sis is my best friend and I’d love to give this to her!

  106. I love Kate Spade!
    My message is for my sister. She has just recently helped me develop my blog into something that I am proud to share with the world. She has more of an influence on me that she knows. For Christmas I splurged and bought her Kate Spade ‘Baby it’s cold outside’ earmuffs… this would just be another way I could thank her for everything she does for me.
    I love you Jess!

  107. Such a cute clutch!

    My daughter (5 1/2 years old) made me a card this morning that said- “I love you, even when you’re mad at me”. For her brother (nearly 2) she made a card that said “I love you, even when I’m mad at you.” It’s great to have a kid who really understands that love is not just gifts and gestures, but just something that can be there all the time, unconditionally. <3

  108. I looove this idea! I was trying to think of something to make/bake for my Fiance’s 21st birthday in June and I think these might be it!! He loves chocolate :)

    I’d like to enter the competition too please :)
    I have 2 special Valentines- my Fiance and my Mum. I’ve been with my Fiance for 5 years on the 13th March and he is amazing- he spoils me like crazy! We got engaged on the 31st August 2007 when he took me to Paris and asked me as a surprise at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
    Can’t forget about my Mum! I’ve been with her my whole 20 years and I couldn’t do without her; she’s the left side of my heart and lungs. I baked her a cappuccino cupcake for Valentines day!

    Thank yooou! Keep posting, my friends & I love you!
    All the way from the UK.. Natalie x

  109. I love my family – my mom is a huge role model to me, and my dad has been my rock since forever. xoxoxo, happy valentine’s day mommy & daddy!

  110. These chocolates are adorable!! My best friend is amazing! I’m at home sick and she called me when she got out of school to cheer me up! I love her so much she’s my sister!!

  111. I’d love to win this for my sister-in-law. She’s a cool crafting and baking buddy!

  112. How cute is that clutch?? And how cute is my hubby? Very!!!

  113. Oh my gosh that is so cute!! I would have to say the sweetest person I have in my life (and he would DIE if he know I wrote this) would be my husband. My big tough Marine who, when I was down due to a medical issue, did everything he could to make me feel better and be comfortable. To include cleaning the entire house. I am so lucky to have him in my life!

  114. Someone who I love? There are so many who I can name but if I have one to choose it would be my husband. He’s my confidence, my joker, my everything.

  115. My mom was my first Valentine and she is one amazing lady! She lives across the country from me now but is always making little cards to send to me, sending my emails, or calling to to tell me she loves me. I am blessed to call her mom!

  116. My valentine is the love of my life, my best friend and my soul mate. What else could a girl ask for?

  117. The chocolates and the clutch are both so cute!

    So many things to say about loved ones…but my mom really deserves the praise. She is truly one of the most caring and giving people in the world. xoxo Mom <3

  118. My love makes me breakfast every morning! What a sweety!

  119. I love my sweet students!! Most of the time! ;)

  120. The bag reminds me of willy wonka and the chocolate factory. My parents always made sure all the kids in the family got a little treat for Valentine’s day. They made the day special

  121. I’m the luckiest girl in the world because my husband hates Valentine’s Day (and thus never needs a special day or a reason to say, “I love you!” and treat me like a queen). =]

  122. My husband is the sweetest in the world. He plans all sorts of surprises for me, like a getaway to Vail.

  123. hi!^^ these cha cha chocolates are super duper sweet….i love them! But not as much as….

    my boyfriend!! :$ ^^ we’ve been together for 2 years but i still love him like the first time. This year i’m having my final exams and I have hardly any time to see him. But he never said anything bad about that….and I want to thank him for that! :)

    xoxo from Hungary

  124. a..ma..mazingly adorable… as always :) … Just like my two amazingly adorable kiddies. Oh, and the big guy, too. Of course! Happy Cha Cha Choc… i mean, Valentines Day everyone… xoxo

  125. My two year old melts my heart each afternoon when she asks me to cuddle and sing to her while she’s going down for her nap. When we “cuddle”, she grabs me around the neck and hugs me tight while I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to her. It’s absolutely one of the best parts of every day – even when I’ve had a long night with my equally sweet 10 month old.

  126. Sorry…hit send too quickly. Since this is a baking site, I have to go with my mom. She is my baking buddy, and my best friend. I love knowing that I can go to her with any problem on earth, and she will make it better. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  127. This is so cute! I hope it has a few chocolate in it too :) Happy Valentine’s Day!

  128. How cute is that clutch?! I have a wonderful valentine for the second year in a row- my handsome boyfriend! Love him to death :) I am also fortunate to have 3 more valentine’s- my parents and my brother, what could be better?!

  129. Me encantan estos chocolates te han quedado divinos.

    Tus brazos siempre se abren cuando necesito un abrazo. Tu corazón sabe comprender cuándo necesito una amiga. Tus ojos sensibles se endurecen cuando necesito una lección. Tu fuerza y tu amor me han dirigido por la vida y me han dado las alas que necesitaba para volar.

    PARA MI MADRE QUE YA NO ESTÁ

  130. So cute! I just lov ethe smiles on my little guys faces that greet me bright and early every morning. They are just so cute trying to sneak up on me to scare me out of bed with a loud raaaaaah. I am so blessed to have them in my life

  131. These are so cute! I love the fact that they can be personalized with home-made candy wrappers. I stumbled upon this site in the past month, and have already made cake balls, and Oreo balls multiple times since. I love making them, taking them to parties, and most of all, I love eating them. I look forward to trying more of your incredible recipes! Thanks for being an inspiration!

  132. i want this purse SO HARD!

    my manfriend got me 2 bunches of flowers and is making a spinach and mushroom lasagna for me tonight! he’s even making the PASTA. what a guy!

  133. This bag is amazing! These chocolates would be great flavoured with strawberry or raspberry mmm! My special person is my little brother…he never fails to brighten my day with his massive smiles!

  134. Everyone in my life is my valentine because I love them all very much, but my very special valentine was my boyfriend. We’ve been together for a little over a year now and we’ve been through so much together that it has made our bond/love stronger. Not a lot of people had faith in our relationship and even through all the hardships people still doubted us. We love and appreciate each other to the point where we don’t even care what others have to say. We’re young but we’re in it because we want this to work. He’s my best friend and he’s my shoulder to cry on. Wouldn’t change my babe for the world.

  135. my daughters are the most wonderful girls ever. they put a smile on my face everyday and i love them for that because i have way too many crazy things going on in my life right now.

  136. My boyfriend… because of all the things he does for and with me. Like drink pink champagne on Valentine’s Day, take water aerobics and watch The Bachelor :)

  137. I told my special someone today that, “the truth is, even though today is Valentine’s Day, I don’t really consider today a special day because I love you everyday. Thank you for being a part of my life and accepting me for who I am. Love you always.”

    Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

  138. I can’t thank you enough for this contest! I would like to mention my Mom. She raised my sister and me through tough times and happy times and I have learned so many life lessons through her examples. Everyone she encounters are better people because of her. She truly “walks the talk” and deserves to be recognized. Love you, Mom! :)

  139. I love my husband….and chocolate

  140. How super fun is that bag?! What a statement piece for a night out.

    Being Valentine’s Day, I was going to say something lovey about my husband, but I’m thinking about my mom instead. We live far apart so I don’t get to see her as much as I’d like. She’s the best mommy ever. No matter what, she’s always there for me and I’d be lost without her.

  141. My kids rock!

  142. My special valentine would be my baby sister. She was born last year and this is her second Valentines day. We have this little tradition where my mom will go out to a store and buy us little treats and when we wake up we go to our dinning room table and where we sit for dinner is some candy for us. This year I got some baby ruths for my treat! YUMMY!!

    Kate spade is good but really expensive so I would like to have this because I could actually say that I own something from kate spade.
    Also if I do win it would be pretty awesome if I Bakerella put a piece of paper in there and autographed it! It would make all of my dreams come true!!!

  143. My wife makes nutritious, but tasty, food so I can lose weight and get healthier. She puts in a lot of effort for me.

  144. Would LOVE to win the clutch… have been lusting after it for weeks!

    I love that my 4 year old daughter has such a kind heart. She calls me her “snuggle buddy for life”.

  145. I love my husband he bought me a bunch of home magazines and let me have the night off. Such a calm and lovely evening, I also ate a bunch of chocolate.

  146. Those chocolates are just too cute! My valentine is my wonderful husband. I love him more than I can express in words. :-)

  147. That clutch is so cute and I adore the mini chocolate bars! My someone is my husband who is my best friend. He is the kindest, most loving person I know and still makes my heart skip a beat when he comes in the room!

  148. One of the people I love most in this world is my dad!! He’s so understanding and such a good listener. He’s always there to make me feel better and offers supreme advice. He is incredibly special to me!

  149. Happy Valentines Day!

  150. I love my fiance – especially for him putting up with all of the crazy wedding planning! :)

  151. Oh how cute are your chocolates!
    My first Valentine’s this time with my new baby boy. What’s not to love about a new baby of your own, especially when he was a huge unexpected but much celebrated surprise!

  152. i would love to give this to my mom she is the best friend i ever had and i love her so much!!!!!!!!

  153. I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have one of those super sweet husbands. The kind that likes to cook, only rarely watches sports, is over the top handy with power tools and projects and willing to take on all my crazy creative ideas. He doesn’t mind a chick-flick and believes mommy needs her free time. And to top it off he’s crazy about me. What a sweetheart, I’m a lucky gal.

  154. My finance is my best friend and always knows how to make me smile!

  155. I love that clutch! It’s so sweet lol. My sister has been my longtime Valentine. She’s been there for me through thick and thin and knows me inside and out. We’ve had a lifetime of memories and I know we’ll create more as we get older.

  156. Such a great idea and such a cute treats!
    My Valentine is my husband and I wish I will say that when I get old too, I wish we stay together till the rest of our life…

  157. My goodness, this is the cutest giveaway ever. Love to you Bakerella! May 2012 be a healthy, wonderful, loving year for you…and for all of us. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  158. LOVE the purse! My husband is my Valentine; he’s just as sweet today and every day as he was when we were dating.

  159. I’m super thankful for my husband, who’s been really supportive of me while I’ve been searching for a job. We have a lot of fun together tasting delicious food in LA! =)

  160. That purse is really cute as are your chocolates!!
    I’m in love with my amazing friends who always know the best things to say to make me feel good!!

  161. OMG! You have spectacular taste. I love the little chocolates and I love love love the clutch! Amazing. Of course you are bakerella so you have impeccable taste built right in. I love your ideas. I copied a bunch of your cakepop designs and gave them out at Christmas. What a hit they were. Thank you for that!

    Now my Valentine is always surprising me. He can go several years without even acknowledging this day of love however this was a ‘pay attention’ year. I woke up to a mini red rose bush, a lovely card, a dvd of “The Notebook” and heart shaped rib eye steaks marinating in the fridge for our feast tonight. What a wonderful husband I have! I

  162. I love my family but sadly they all live far away- happy Valentine’s to them!!

  163. The chocolates are adorable!!

    Happy Valentine’s day to you and to my hubby!

  164. I’m with ya! I am a total sucker for Kate Spade!! Someone special….hmmm…I can only pick one? I think I’ll pick my Grandma! Sometimes I think I love her more than my DH!! She is always so calm and full of great advice! She’s ALWAYS there when you need her and that one person that truely understands me. I love my grandma!

  165. My valentine is my 26 month old grandson, Charleston. He has a terminal neuromuscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. We were told that he wouldn’t live past 24 months, but today he is at Disneyland with his mommy (my daughter) and daddy!!!!! I would love to win this purse for my daughter, to give to her for being the best mother on the planet. She is by Charleston’s side literally 24 hours a day, caring for him. She even sleeps with him on her chest, to make sure he’s breathing. It would be a wonderful treat for her.

  166. I love your sweet chocolates! They look so pretty and I hope to make them. Thanks for the great idea as always. It would be amazing to win the purse, too :-)

    My husband of almost 30 years is my sweetheart and best friend. Met in college and am truly thankful for all the time we have had together.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  167. Adorable! I suppose I’ll have to talk about my husband since it’s V-Day and all. We’ve been going through some stressful stuff with a kid and I’m amazed that Hubby and I have held together as a team through it all!

  168. My husband is so creative..today for valentine’s day he gave me an origami box of chocolates that he designed and folded just for me. I love it! He always thinks of the little things and I love that about him.

    And I love that bag. ;)

  169. I love my husband, my dog and YOU Bakerella, you come up with the cutest ideas!, Hope you are having a WONDERFUL Valentine’s Day!

  170. love the chocolates and of course the clutch!
    I too have a very special person in my life, with out him things would be tougher than they were!

  171. I love my momma, she is my best friend!! She always knows what to say when I am feeling down.

  172. Olivia, you are my best sweetie girl-the best valentine a mommy could ever want! i might even share these chocolates with you! xoxo, mum

  173. My granddaughter is the light of my life. She brings me smiles and kisses all the time…and makes me laugh!

  174. Love the clutch–and my husband!

  175. I love those pictures, and how you break down a process so it’s manageable at home – with such gorgeous results :-) and that clutch is awesome!

    My husband took me out for lunch yesterday – we’ve had a rough week and he’s been super thoughtful (as usual) xxx

  176. I am in love with that clutch & the chocolates in it! My girls and I made valentines photos and a special cake for my wonderful husband xx and I got breakfast in bed & a sleep in – bliss!

  177. I have two special someones. My son who always thinks of others before himself. I just adore his generous spirit and thoughtfulness. The other is my husband who despite how bad of a day he is having, makes me smile through laughter and love.

  178. My sweetie surprises me with Raspberry Dark Chocolate when he knows I’ve had a rough day.

  179. I love your blog and ofd course who doesn’t love chocolates! That bag is something else. My mom is my inspiration, she had a liver transplant years ago, and now goes to dialysis 3x a week. She goes thru a lot every single day of her life and shows me how to be a better person even when life hands you troubles.

  180. I love my husband on Valentines day when he brings me coffee and goodies on his way home from work, and every other day when he laughs with me through life. He’s even good at holding my purse for me! I think he would look great holding this Kate Spade clutch…

  181. What a super cute idea! I love your chocolates and their cute little wrappers. My man is CRAZY for chocolate so I go to great lengths to hide all the chocolate in crazy places because he will sniff it out and DEVOUR it and then I don’t have it when I want it :-( I can bring a smile to his face by “FINDING” chocolate and I love to make him happy cuz he is as sweet as the chocolate he loves. Mmmmm…good!

  182. Oh my goodness that is the cutest clutch ever! I have been married to the most amazing man in the world for the last year and a half, and I cant wait for a hundred more Valentines Days with him. He is my rock and my world. He is an amazing man of God and a great leader in our household. I love you baby! <3

  183. *so* cute! I’m hoping hubby likes his V-day present. He is my best friend and I truly don’t know what I would do without him…

  184. My mom is too precious. When I was the only one of my friends without a boyfriend on Valentine’s day in high school, she anonymously sent me flowers and balloons at school. Everyone was curious. I played coy. Mom got BIG hugs after school. :)

  185. I love the chocolates!!! So cute!!! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!!

  186. You are the sweetest person I know! I have your cakepops book and my teenage daughters and I just love it. But you don’t seem to be in it just for the money – you want to share and make others smile and enjoy life a little. Thanks!

  187. Hi Bakerella,

    I made some of your red velvet cupcakes for my girl’s fencing team at school to show how much I love each and every one of them. I’m on my way to our end of season Valentine’s Day party in a little bit, I know they’ll love them :) Thank you for the recipe and all your other special treats. I would love to win this bag :)

  188. very cute clutch!! my guy is my rock! i love him every day of the week!

  189. i love your blog!!!! it makes me so happy every time i see that you have a new post up.

    and i don’t know what i’d do without my family, so i guess that puts them right at the top of my “to love” list. :)

  190. I’m dying to make these for my hubby and daughter! I guess it will have to be next year as I’m just reading this now. I have quite the sweet tooth, but those two sweeties are the best treat out there. They sure know how to make this momma smile. So do you! I’m always dying to see your latest creations!

  191. your blog is the sweetest and brings a smile to my face with every entry! i’ve been following for 3 years, so that’s a lot of smiles :)

  192. So cute! I love my two nieces because they always make me smile! Even if I am feeling down, when they smile I am suddenly happy again. Happy Valentines day!

  193. I have the sweetest valentine ever – my two year old husky. She’s the perfect furball to spend valentine’s with!

  194. Too cute! Will flag this one for next year. I love the way my kids stretch and cuddle in the morning when they are not quite ready to get up…such sweet moments before the day gets crazy!

  195. My special someone proposed to me 4 years ago today and my first experience with bakerella was when I made the red velvet cake balls for my engagement party a couple months later. My other special someone is my 8 year old baby girl who is the spinkles in my life!

  196. Such a fun idea! I’m so far away from the people I love, but even though I can’t see them today, I know that they’re thinking of me and I’m thinking of them. And sometimes that’s enough. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  197. My husband is the most amazing, kind, and loving person in my life. I’ve been with him for almost 10 years now and I fall in love with him over and over again every day!

  198. What a cute clutch bag! Well let’s see…My husband the man washes dishes no matter how long and physical his day was at work! Gotta love him ;-) Happy V-day!

  199. I love my kiddos! they are the best
