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.

IMG_6104

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.

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.

So who wants to help me out and take one of these off my hands?

  1. Just love the idea of the labels (and also the small chocolates!), I thought they were bought somewhere, but you made them ! You’re so talented Bakerella!
    It’s a gift I totally will make for the three men in my life; my hubby of the last 11 years and my two boys that I can’t live without. Family is everything !

  2. I love my hubby and our new love – we just found out I’m pregnant! Happy Valentines Day to us!

  3. My parents have always been there for me, through job losses and never giving up on me. :)

  4. I love this idea! My special Valentine is my middle daughter-Leah! She loves chocolate but is allergic to caffeine, so this idea will fit using white chocolate for her. When her whole 3rd grade class gets brown chocolate, I will have these for her, which are even cuter. I’m sure my other Valentines (daughters- Makayla & Shea) will have some too.

  5. He’s been my lover for nearly 32 years, and I can honestly say I love him more today than ever. He’s the best ( now I didn’t say he was perfect.. – just the best) . And the purse – way toooooooo cute!!

  6. I die too! LOVE it all!!

    My “loves” are my kids and my hubby. Life just wouldn’t be the same without them in it :)

  7. My best friend has never, ever let me down. I don’t know what I’d do without her!

  8. My husband, my best friend and my partner in everything. He is such a godly wonderful man. He’s served this country proud over seas and is now working on being a cop. He is the definition of serving and protecting. I love him always and forever, he is my soul mate.

  9. Your blog has such great ideas! I love these and the clutch! My special valentine is my husband who is working really hard to see me through a rough patch that never seems to end. I don’t do enough for him.

  10. Beyond adorable I would totally share with my mom because she does so much for me and goes out of her way to make sure I’m okay. Not only is she the sweetest person I know she is the most AMAZING person I know.

  11. My husband, daughter and son . . . they are the loves of my life.

  12. Love the chocolates! And the clutch! My valentine is my boyfriend, whom I love and adore, who shares in my geeky interests and will assist in my baking– especially if it’s making a gingerbread millinium falcon! LOL He’d a wonderful person, kind, charming, funny, and everything I could ever want. <3

  13. Love my kiddos eventhough they are all grown up and on their own! Never will stop being a mom!

  14. Something sweet – to all of my friends, for showing my how fantistic life can be when you’re surrounded by loving, supportive people

  15. The only thing cuter than that clutch, which let’s be honest, is to die for, are your chocolates. I would never think to make and wrap my own chocolates, that why we have you! :)

  16. NPR put up some valentine-ish cards today, i sent one to my sweetheart, it pretty much sums us up. We love NPR and I’m pretty sure we love each other! hahah! I received my first Kate Spade bag last Christmas. I have always loved their designs! This is just too cute! fingers crossed!

  17. I’m so glad something like this exists in the world! What fun. Today I’d like to send a Valentine note to my sweet but flighty husband, who never remembers Valentine’s Day but treats me right every single day of the year anyways.

  18. I have the most amazing boyfriend plus my son and his daughters! At the end of a bad day at work i can come home and they entertain me while I make dinner and bake treats. I couldn’t ask for a better family! Happy valentines day!

  19. I love the bag. I’m a huge kate fan!! i wish that I would be able to afford it.. But not in the cards for me. Maybe I will get lucky :)

  20. I heart these Bakerella! as for something sweet to say..I have to say, after 21 years together my hubby is still my sweetheart!! Happy Valentine’s Day Bakerella :o)

  21. soo cute.he knows how ti make me smile!

  22. my husband makes me the best me i can be! love him.

    and those chocolates are to die for. off to pin them.:)

  23. Love this post!

    My special someone is my husband, having him in my life has made me a better person ;)

  24. Those chocolates are too cute!

    I love my boyfriend and I am grateful that he is in my life.

  25. my hubs is sweetest guy i’ve ever met =)

  26. i love how my husband always makes dinner when i work late-even if it isn’t valentine’s day! i am so lucky to have someone show me the little things count too!

  27. I love the wrapped chocolates!!

    My special someone is my hubby, he is so helpful and supportive. I don’t know what I would do with out him!

  28. Those chocolates are adorable! You could do those for any party in different colors or themes… Mmmm… :) And the clutch -ah! So cute!

    My special someone is my husband Tom. Love him so much for all the excitement, adventure, but also calming peace he has added to my life in the last 2 1/2 years.

  29. So happy to have my valentine to celebrate with. Happy Valentines day to the best husband in the world! James, I love you to pieces!

  30. Love it! I am completely and utterly in love with husband of almost 7 years. Right next to him would be our beautiful children, Cannon is 5 and Meadow is 3. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

  31. Someone I love is my mum. She always supports me, no matter what!

  32. These chocolates are unbelievably charming.

    My Husband and daughter have been sick with flu like symptoms and are cooped up in their rooms.

    It gives me an opportunity this Valentine to shower them with Love and chicken soup. What can anyone else ask for?

    Love all your treats!! :)

  33. Love love love!

    I have something sweet to say about my sweetie. Today is the fourth anniversary of the day he gave me my post-wedding engagement ring since he couldn’t afford one when we got engaged. We were sitting in Applebees and he pulled out this little white box and inside was the prettiest and most unique ring I had ever seen. Everyone in the restraunt thought we were getting engaged…and we were…again :)

    Our son is my other Valentine. At three he is into everything and is everywhere all at once…but in those quiet moments just before bed….he makes my heart melt and I forget (for a minute) about all the crazy we went through getting to that moment!

    And to you Bakerella. Thanks for sweetening up my life. My manager and I were talking about you today when she brought in cake pops for VDay. You are so amazingly great!! And such an inspiration!

  34. Adorable candy wrappers! And that purse is do die for! I would loooove it. My daughter is just the most insanely wonderful person in the world. She is so funny, sweet, smart, silly, adorable. Sometimes I just can’t believe how lucky i am to be her mommy

  35. My wonderful generous husband who supports in taking early retirement at 55 with no pressure to work to bring in extra money!

  36. My Valentine is my husband. He bought me some Tom’s wrap boots for Valentines Day. He’s the best Valentine I could ever ask for…even if he hadn’t bought me the Tom’s. ;)

  37. can someone overseas join?

    i’m gonna post anyway.. because i want to share something special done to me by my fiance.. we’re living in jakarta, indonesia, and that means there’s traffic jam everyday.. the distance between his place and mine is about 1 hour driving, trafficless.. (with traffic, it’ll be 2 hours min.) and so this one morning, needing a few stuffs to baked my brownies, i asked for his help because i was carless at the moment..
    what’s special about that you might ask.. what makes it special is because, that day is actually holiday.. a day where he could woke up later and did his things.. but because of me, he woke up early (same as his office hour), get me all the stuffs i needed, drove all the way to my place, wait for me to finish all the baking and get the brownies delivered to the ‘owner’.. that is just the sweetest thing a man can do.. i love my boy! :)

  38. Thanks Bakerella… i love getting your blog updates. Can’t wait to get home and make some of these for my handsome hubby.

    My husband is my special person. We have been together for 10 years, high school sweethearts, and he is my best friend. Often i catch myself smiling for no reason, and then i realize it is because i am thinking of him. He’s everything a girl could ask for in a partner in life!

    And my other special person is my little Memphis, our Boston Terrier. Best thing that has happened to us. We brough him home at a ripe age of 10 weeks and he was no bigger than a can of soda. He greets you at the door and knows no stranger… there is no purer of a love than that!

  39. Love the clutch! I have to say something sweet about my wonderful husband who is pulling out all the stops to make me a homemade gourmet valentines day dinner tonight! I look forward to this day when he spoils me with his love of culinary experiments:)

  40. Beautiful chocolates and clutch!! :)
    I have to give props here to my husband. Today (yes, Valentine’s day!) is our 3rd wedding anniversary. He is an amazing husband and an even better dad now. And, he got me Breakfast in bed this morning! What girl doesn’t love that? :)
    Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!! :)

  41. I will always be a daddy’s girl. He will always be the smartest, strongest, bravest man I know and I am very lucky to have him.

    Happy Valentine’s Day

  42. I love it! That clutch and those candy wrappers are sooo cute! I would love to make these for my valentine next year. My valentine is my husband of almost 6 years and he never ceases to amaze me with how great of a husband and father he is and how much he loves his family. :)

  43. I have multiple special someones. Their my little brothers and I love the more than anything and I would give up my life to let them live if I had to. Even though they can me a little tuff to handle sometimes, I wouldn’t change them a bit.

  44. I am 18 years old and the person I love most in life is my mother.
    She is encouraging beyond belief, believes in everything that I do, and I whole heartedly know she will shower me with love until the day she dies.
    When I come home, I know that I am welcome and I wish to be everything that she is for me- to my future children.
    Happy Valentine’s Day
    <3 :]

  45. I love my husband-he is my sweetheart!

  46. My husband is the best valentine ever. He surprised me with dinner and a new sewing machine AND he even got up when the baby got up at 4am the other night.

  47. How cute :) My valentine is my boyfriend, who cleared the snow off my car for me this morning – it’s the little things!

  48. Love the chocolates idea – I’ll have to pin it for next year! My mom and husband love pinterest and my dad loves chocolate, so that would cover all three Valentines!!

  49. So cute and you are so talented! Where do you find all this time! Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out there!

  50. Love this site.

    Got lots of sweet smiles from my 3 month old baby girl, and my 4 yr old gave me the best present by behaving like an angel all day yesterday. Lots of hugs to my hubby who let me have a few minutes quiet time this morning.

  51. despite my 4th baby spitting up on me just now–this year (her first) she is my sweet valentine!

  52. My sweetest valentines are my family and friends ! I love them so much each and everyday .. plus chocolate is my favortite valentine ;)

  53. Today I gave a friend of mine a card with this little poem:
    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I love chocolate more
    Than I love you

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I wish you a happy valentine’s day
    And I hope you wish the same for me too

    And I added some heart shaped chocolates with it.
    She really loved it and was a bit suprised, but that’s what made it so funny, just that she didn’t excepted a card from me haha :)

  54. You had made at Hi. Seriously, Mama needs this clutch.

    My 10 year old daughter, who is home sick and missing her Valentine’s Day party at school is the sweetest valentine I know. Right now she is setting up a party with our cat and dog.

    Oh, and in case you didn’t understand… I need that clutch. I die.

  55. My true love, is my hubby. He is my rock!

  56. OMGoodness, are those the cutest things ever?? And the perfect clutch too!! I can’t wait to make the candies – too easy. I’ve already done my valentines sweets for this year, but perhaps I could tweak these for the next holiday or celebration! And who could go wrong with Kate Spade? It’s fabulous! Thanks for all your inspiration – even when things have been tough for you, you always manage to bring creativity and smiles to the rest of us. Thanks!

  57. These chocolates are too cute. So is that clutch! I just finished making some Valentine cake pops. This may be my next project….maybe a four leaf clover instead of a heart? Hmmmm?
    I am so inspired by you! Keep up the creative and fun work!

  58. My husband is the SWEETEST!!

  59. My husband is the love of my life.

  60. Love this post! Your little chocolates are so cute!

  61. I love my hubby! He is so sweet and always tries to do something special for me even though we are just poor college students. I love him dearly and he makes my life wonderful.

    Thanks for letting me say this! :) Have a fantastic day!

  62. Beautiful purse and chocolates!!! Today is a good day because I get to eat many yummy treats my bf bought me. Valentines is awesome!

  63. I have the best Hubby EVA! He loves me entirely. Bed head, pimples, running mascara, and all! the best part his he shows me that by loving my kids and cleaning toilets!! just say’in ANY man willingly cleaning toilets is a winner!! Loved him 21 short years.

  64. I know I will never live up to your baking level of cuteness, Bakerella, but I try!

    My sweet husband is a real man – he talks through all of our issues, he coaxes me out of my shell, he sees through my insecurities and calls me beautiful, he serves me in his position of authority, and he leads our marriage sacrificially. I couldn’t have imagined the depths of his love for me. And I love him!

  65. This is to the love of my life, Ted! 26 1/2 years of marriage and still going strong….here’s to the rest of our lives, I love you!

  66. Those chocolates are to die for. And so is that purse! And aside from you and all the love you put into this blog, I love my best friend who is there for me everyday no matter what. I could not ask for a better valentine!

  67. I have to say that I’m def. not the easiest person to live with- who gets a bit paranoid when the chocolate stash decreases or stressed when we have to throw a party..but for all my craziness, my hubby is the only person i know who can handle all my craziness and i love him though i drive him crazy.

    Thanks Jaan- you’re wonderful and I hope we can always make each other laugh the way we do now.

    Also I love our cat (because we don’t have kids yet) who pounces on my head saturday mornings only to come up and give me a nose kissey.

    Happy Valentine’s day Bakerella!

  68. I love chocolate. I have a friend who makes wrappers for pre-made chocolates and she would love this bag. She’s the choco-gal in my life.

  69. Awww, I love that handbag! My special someone is my husband. The first time he made me a cake, I came home to find the oven on fire. He has worked at it diligently since then, and now he’s the best home baker I know. :)

  70. That clutch is to die for!

  71. My little girl is the apple of my eye. Happy Valentine’s Day.

  72. My Valentine is my hubby–he motivates me to meet goals, sees when I’m overwhelmed and brings home dinner, and together we have my “dream life.”

  73. Those chocolates are just about the cutest thing ever!

    I love my hubby because he believes in me. :)

  74. my husband and my kids. and my 2 dogs. all my favorite valentines!
    but my 1st love is chocolate! MMMMMM white chocolate with some dark chocolate in it. my family understands, i’m a total chocoholic.

  75. I love my sister for the way that a cup of coffee and a walk with her can turn a whole day around!

  76. The prettiest little chocolates! This Valentine’s Day I am thinking about my Mom and Dad. I lost both of them last year, they passed away 19 days apart – they knew each other for 70 years and were married for 65 – they were true Valentine’s, best friends, wonderful parents and grandparents, never spending time apart and very much in love. I think Dad must have planned a date for them in Heaven for Mom to follow him so quickly. Happy Valentine’s Day Mom and Dad, we miss you dearly.

  77. Oh boy! I was going to leave a sweet something about the man I love, but after seeing this giveaway, I think I love you! But, to keep it real, I’ll go and write about him. :) I love it when he smiles and when we get to share all our silly and cute moments together.

  78. Oh my! That purse is so stinking cute! My husband is the sweetie that I would LOVE to talk about. He is such a cutie and always willing to make sure that I am taken care of.

  79. I love my Husband. We are going to be married for our first/fourth year this year. We got married on Feb 29th, 2008, or on the leap year. He has always found a way to surprise me with little happies every anniversary. I am very lucky to have him and am very excited to actually celebrate one year with him.

  80. I love your tiny candy bars! Definitely a great idea for next year!

    My favorite love of my life right now is my almost 3 yr old son who is currently helping me hunt for the letters and type this…daily he shows me unconditional love and reminds me to do the same.

  81. Your chocolates are incredibly adorable and belong in a super cute clutch! I would share that with my darling daughter who has been through some terribly difficult times in the past three years and needs something sweet and fun in her life. Thank you for the opportunity!

  82. I just LOVE the clutch!!! So YOU & so ME!!!! That would totally be something I would use. I love the chocolates (cha cha) and I love how you make it look so easy!!! I think I could even do this!!! Yes I can!!!!

  83. I love your chocolates! I want to make candy now too! I never thought of wrapping them up and making labels… that is just too cute.
    I love lots of people, but something sweet about my daughter: She’s 4 and she HAS to hug me good morning every day! I think it’s adorable and I hope it last a long time.

  84. lovvvveee that clutch! nnn my family n husband as well!!!!

  85. That bag is adorable but the candies are even cuter. Will you throw one in too?

    My husband is taking me to have a minor surgery done today, a small lump removed. I’m a bit nervous but so happy to have a loving, supportive husband who is there to calm me down.

    Happy Valentines day!

  86. Love your ideas and blog!
    The clutch is adorable!

    My special someone is my husband. 5 years and 3 gorgeous babies later, he still spoils me like a princess….and the best part? He thinks I deserve it when I swear I could win worst mom/wife award quite regularly!! He is my best friend, my everything.

  87. Hi! First, those chocolates look wonderful and I am very excited to try them for my sisters upcoming wedding shower. Second, I love love love Kate Spade and am in love with that design. : )

    My sisters are my best friends. I love them. They are always there to give me advice and support me. I love that I can talk to them about anything. Growing up it was like having 2 extra moms. : )

  88. My husband is the sweetest. I wasn’t feeling well last night and so he watched my favorite movie with me! Seven Brides for Seven Brothers :D It is even…gasp!….a musical!

  89. Love that clutch! My husband is my valentine, even while miles away at sea he manages to shower me and our littles with love and support. Not sure where we’d be without him–and cannot wait for his return!

  90. i love u for who u are.

  91. WOW!!!! That is one cute clutch!!!! I LOVE IT :)
    The chocolates are sooooo cute too, I will try to make them for my hubby and my two babies that are the best Valentines that I could have.
    My hubby is the best in the world, in about a month we are going to be celebrating our 5 yr annyversary :)
    My 2 babies are 3 and 1, they shower me with hugs and kisses all day long, and I couldnt be happier to receive them :)

  92. Such cute chocolates and clutch! My husband is my rock who is there for me no matter how crazy or stressed out I get. Can you get any better than that?

  93. Love the little clutch!! Would totally keep chocolates in it, ha ha. My almost 2 year old son is the love bug of the house. We love when he grabs our chins to pull us in for a kiss, he makes us all melt!!!

  94. My valentine just sent me 14 love songs for Valentine’s Day. He’s amazing <3

  95. I love that bag! Valentine’s day is off to a great start this year :]

  96. Those Chocolates are just so cute and those wrappers are adorable! My Loved One has to be my mom and dad they always give me a bag full of Valentines candy and treats I just love them so much!

  97. My son is 2 1/2 and he has the sweetest heart. I must be doing something right!

  98. My father was my biggest valentine. He would always give us a card and flowers on this day. I miss him, but every valentine’s day, reminds me of his sweetness. After he passed away, I found a card he had ready for my niece, he never got to mail it but it is proof of how much he cared for us girls in the family. Happy Valentines day!

  99. I love my darling baby rugrat, who is SO not a baby any more. Almost 15, taller than me, and the coolest kid ever!

  100. I love this baby that’s growing inside of me and I can’t wait to meet him or her!! This will be our first child and we are beyond excited about the new addition to our family :)

  101. Our first valentines day in 13 years without our dog. She brought joy to our hearts for many years. We miss her a lot!

  102. My husband and I have been through a lot of transitions together in the last few years. A couple of moves, job changes and a little bout of cancer. It’s been a lot for our first three years of marriage, but there is no one else I could imagine doing it with. Love for Jamie this Valentine’s Day, and hooray for gorgeous chocolatey novelties!

  103. Love the purse- thanks for the giveaway!

    Today always makes me think of my Papa- it’s his birthday. This year is doubly important as he was in an accident yesterday. Fortunately, he only has a few broken bones, but he’s always been the best Valentine I could ask for.

  104. Oh is that clutch adorable! I recently discovered your blog and I love your creations! I have 3 extra special loved ones in my life – my husband and our 2 little boys. My heart and life would not be complete without them!

  105. Too cute! I love my husband more today than I did 18 years ago when I met him!

  106. My husband left me sweets in all my work bags today, so I kept finding yummy chocolates!

  107. Those chocolates are so cute! If I had time I would whip up a batch for all my friends, who are so special to me because they deal with my antics :)

  108. My parents are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary today, so my sweet comment is about them. They’ve recently undergone a few big financial changes and it really inspires me to see how strongly in love they still are, even after being married for such a long time and during such trying times. True love is sometimes considered a myth but I know that they will be together for years and years to come.

    Also, these chocolates are awesome and the packaging is adorable. And oh my GOODNESS. That clutch is so S W E E T! I really hope I can snag it off of you!

    – Lindsay

  109. My husband and I don’t do much for Valentine’s Day as we like to just celebrate when we feel like it but last night when I complained I was out of sandwich fixings for my lunch (today), he made me a special frittata for me to bring. What a sweet guy and the perfect valentine :)

  110. Super cute chocolates!
    I love my husband and can’t wait to see what an amazing father he will be when our son is born in April!

  111. My mom–she’s just a beautiful woman all around. So loving and supporting. I am so grateful she’s pretty much my best friend.
    My boog–he can make me feel better on the worst of days with just a hug. Sometimes our glasses ‘tink’ when we kiss…he calls it ‘bumpin’ nerdies’. haha.

    I’ve been stalking that purse! It’s absolutely adorbs!

  112. I would like to say something sweet about my husband. He was such a gem all weekend buying me gifts and hanging up a bunch of framed art I had.

    Your candies are so cute. They almost make me wanna try my hand at this.

  113. My husband of thirty seven years is still as sweet as the day we met!

  114. OoooohhhhMYyyyyyyy Chocolate! I Love these little chocolates and will be PINNING this for next year to make with my little cuties! And the clutch?? How cute too!

  115. That has GOT to be the most AWESOME purse EVER!!! Ahem….. I mean it’s very kitschy and stylish! ;P Even though my 4 brothers can be a pain in the you-know-where, they are right behind me when I need some support.

  116. OH MY GOSH! These are the cutest little sweet things EVER! (And the clutch is a sweet little thang too :) )

  118. My special someones are my awesome husband and 4 sweet daughters. I love them so much!!!!

  119. I have had custody of my (now 7 year old) neice-since she was 17 months old. She is the best little lady in the world. Even with all the challenges that she has been through, she’s still very well-adjusted and I love her with all of my heart!

  120. Those chocolates are adorable!! I’m going to have to try that next year!
    My Valentine is my amazing husband!! He took today off work (surprise!) and let me sleep in while he got the kids ready and off to school! Best. Valentine’s Day. EVER!
    Almost 14 years married and I still love him more every day!
    Happy Valentine’s Day Bakerella!
    :) Karen

  121. My son is my sunshine! He warms my heart and makes my day. I am blessed to have a loving husband and a wonderful family!

    Thank you Bakerella and Happy Valentines Day! You make every day sweeter!!

    xo

  122. My husband is honestly my best friend in the entire world. I am so lucky to wake up and have him right by my side each day.

    :)

  123. I love my best friend Thao, because she always has that shoulder for me to cry on. Even though she doesn’t need mine as much, we’ve been through so much and we are still besties <3

  124. That is so cute! And i must say, I love my mom, she will always be my favorite person, she called me today just to say happy valentines day and that she loves me :)

  125. Your posts always make me smile. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  126. How generous of you for Valentine’s Day! I love holidays where we can focus on love and others. I love my husband. He cleaned the house last night just I could come home without worrying about more work at home!

  127. these are amazing!!!!! my boyfriend is the most amazing person in my life. he’s opened my eyes to a whole new world and made me a better person. he’s the best!!!

  128. Even though my husband works insane hours and I moved across the country away from family with him, I wouldn’t choose to be anywhere else but with him! High school sweethearts :)

  129. Those are the cutest!

    My Valentines are my nieces and nephews, the cutest kids on the planet. I love spoiling them every holiday. :)

  130. Love the bag! Beauuuutiful. and shutout to the beautiful man in my life (even though he’s not reading this. hehe) love you hubby!

  131. I’m very excited to spend today with my husband. First I have to get through the exercise class that he is teaching, which I’m sure is going to make me sweaty and smelly. Then I get to make him his favorite steak dinner and strawberry shortcake sushi for dessert. I’m so blessed to have a wonderful man like him in my life.

  132. My special someone is my soon-to-be-husband. I love how he doesn’t get into Valentines Day, but he still makes an effort to do something for me cause I love it.

  133. Such a cute idea! What a delightful way to give chocolate.

    I want to say that my husband is the best and it was so cute that he gave me the very same card that my daughter’s boyfriend gave her. Great minds think alike!

  134. Love this purse and love my boyfriend- He makes my day everyday by making my feel loved!

  135. although there is no man in my life this year, i am so excited to let my friends and family know how much i love them on this day!

  136. so cute!
    I am in love with my best friend and soon to be husband. He makes me smile and laugh every day. He makes me a better person

  137. I have the best hubby ever. He told me I’d already given him his valentine gift this morning and I shouldn’t get him a thing. We’re having our first baby in a few weeks and he is over the moon.

  138. My special someone is my husband. I can’t think of just one thing he does special because there is so many wonderful things about him. He stands by me through thick and thin. Though we disagree like all couples do, he has never once yelled at me. He calms me when I get upset and is my protector. He is also a great father to all 4 of our kids and makes sure they all get one on one time with him so they know how much they mean to him. I’m proud to call him my husband, best friend, and the best dad to our kids.

  139. I have the best Valentine ever!! My 2 1/2 year old Niece Alexis. We are Best Friends and I love her so much! Couldn’t ask for a better sweetheart!

  140. Love the chocolate bites, you always surprise me. This year my valentine are my 3 daughters, who I love so much, but I´m a hopeless romantic, who believes that love conquers all, so share a smile to a stranger and the love will keep on flowing.

  141. What a great IDEA.
    My special friend is my Valentine.

  142. That is the cutest purse! And I love the chocolates, thanks for showing me how to do that – I’d been wondering! So much easier than I thought. My hubby is my valentine – he’s my rock and been putting up with me being crabby because I’ve been sick and it keep hanging around – which is making me grumpy. He still tries to make me laugh and smile. Sweet man!

  143. My adorable husband is my Valentine! He didn’t come into my life until we were in our mid-40’s, but wow – he was worth the wait! I love him from here to eternity!

  144. First Valentine’s Day with my husband, the man of my dreams!

  145. My roommates are the sweetest ladies, and tonight one of us is cooking and we’re all having dinner together.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  146. I love my Mommy! She works hard to take care of my Gramps since he is elderly and she still takes the time to visit my sisters and me in another city. Best Mom ever! :)

  147. It was 10 years ago yesterday that I told my sweetheart “I love you” for the first time. We’ve been married for 8-1/2 years now and I love him more than ever!

  148. I love the candies…and the Kate Spade Clutch!

    My valentine is my amazing husband (of 6 and 1/2 years). He calms me when I’m stressed, and just wants to see me happy. He does most of the cooking, laundry and cleaning (yes, I know I’m spoiled). He helps me with my baking projects and makes fabulous filled chocolates, chocolate covered oreos and is a willing back up mixer when I need the extra help!

  149. Happy Valentines Day to you!

    The chocolates and the purse are just adorable. My Valentine today is my husband. We were married in June so this is our first Valentines as husband and wife. I am so lucky to have him in my life!

  150. Ahw they’re so cute! My special person must be my sister. She’s the sweetest little girl. Of course she has her bad days, but she’s always there for me and manages to make me laugh with her chattering <3

  151. My Mom, who always does something extra special for Valentines day, even when we were low on money. She is amazing!

  152. My daughter celebrates her birthday the day after Valentine’s Day (she was the best Valentine ever) and my son is five days later. It’s a birthday kind of month full of love!

  153. I love how my husband doesn’t need a holiday to find ways to tell me how much he loves me. I’m a lucky girl to have him! Happy Valentine’s Day!

  154. My Jason is the best Valentine ever.

  155. Mine is pretty standard. I love my family – my husband and my four kids. Life can be chaotic but I am so very blessed. I am a very lucky girl. :)

  156. Wow – what a SWEET giveaway! I have never seen that bag before & I am absolutely IN LOVE!

    I have to say that I have the best hubby in the entire world & I am so lucky to have him as my Valentine for the rest of my life! He has the biggest heart on the planet, so forgiving, so thoughtful, so absolutely wonderful. He takes me for who I am, and that alone is the greatest gift anyone could have ever given me.

    Happy Valentine’s Day, Bakerella!

  157. My wonderful husband made me a valentine this morning and left it on the table for me to find. We live in Valentine and he said he was my Valentine in Valentine!

  158. My husband is special to me… he melts my heart being the most amazing father to our three boys!

    PS – your chocolates look uh-mazing! :)

  159. For my Mom:

    Thank you for all you have done for me and all the support and love you give me! Now that I’m a Mom I realize what a great sacrifice it is and you do it great!

  160. My life would simply be less in almost every way without my husband. I love him more every day–8 years seems so short to me, and I’m looking forward to many more!

  161. As always – the cutest things are here at Bakerella! I love checking out your place! There are many I love – all in my family. Particularly tender in my heart today are my nephews (one serving a mission for my Church in Mexico and the other who makes poor choices is serving something else) and my niece (who lovingly serves everyone in her family without complaint). I live a blessed life because I get to be the Aunt to these three. All are adopted so I also have to give a shout out to their birth parents who so lovingly made my life complete!

    If I had that purse – I’d have to use it as a pass along. I’d fill it with the chocolates and then pass it along to someone in my family. The instructions would be for them to enjoy the chocolates and purse. When they are ready, they can fill it with their own chocolates and pass it along to the next deserving person. It would start a fun tradition!

  162. Love the clutch!
    Happy Valentines to my two favorite boys on earth – My husband Scott and son Andrew

  163. Thank you for brightening my day, as always :) Valentine’s has always been wonderful . . .it’s another day to celebrate the many reason why I love my husband and family. He is a hopeless romantic and beyond sweet.

  164. My husband…big JOHN…who’s been more of a son to my parents than my two brothers… :)

    Happy Valentine’s EVERYone!!

    THANKS for creating this give-a-way!

  165. You are soooo creative! Kudo’s to you this Valentine’s Day. My special someone is my Husband. He is a true Prince Charming. After 16 years he still brings me flowers…for no other reason than to see me smile. And he always has a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Brownie ice cream for me when I’m sad. Now that is LOVE!

  166. My favorite valentine has to be my sweet, patient husband. I’m not sure where I’d be without him!

  167. Super cute ! Love the idea ! Welli love my family and my pets !

  168. The most important man in my life is my husband. He is just incredible, loving, giving, hard-working, and so thoughtful!.

  169. My hubby of 6 six years is my sweet Valentine! This will be our 9th Valentine’s Day together and unfortunately we aren’t able to spend it together because he is out of town for work. : ( However, he will be home this weekend so we will celebrate then! Hopefully, I will have this new adorable Kate Spade Clutch! Thanks, Bakerella!

  170. You continue to inspire me so much day to day. It aways cheers me up when I get mail of one of your new creations and I always love the way you share someone elses creations with us :)
    There is so much to say about my love, the love of my life. He is my saviour during bad times, he helps me out with anything when I am in pain the most. He is a shoulder to cry on when I need it. I always say to him he is an angel. He always goes out of his way for so many people, his staff, his friends, his family, he is the one person everyone knows that is one of the kindest men they know. I am so proud of him day to day. And I will always love him forever and a day. (((( Smile ))))

  171. Those candies are so cute and the Kate Spade bag is to adorable…….my special someone – my hubby of 21 years, Michael. The day to day activities would not be so smooth without him. He’s my rock.

  172. You are the most talented Bakerella! Love the cute little hearts in chocolate! What a great idea! As I was reading your post, I got a text from someone I love expressing his love for me. It was the first time he has sent me that kind of message. It made the little pink hearts in your candy dance!

  173. So cute! I had to go back and check the mold you used again because I couldn’t believe how awesome your freehand hearts came out. You are one talented chick!

    My hubby BigDaddyRob is my Valentine lover for the 17th year in a row. This year he is extra special because not only is he an amazing dad to our 6 kids, but he also taken on being Dad to my niece&nephew after my brother committed suicide 6 months ago. Watching him take 2 more kids into our home so lovingly has mad me love him like never before! We are blessed beyond measure!!

  174. That is a great purse. I love the pink foil from CK also!!! Can’t wait to try and make my own chocolate delights!!!

  175. I love that my friends are always there for me.

  176. I am so happy to celebrate valentines day with my husband – he will always be my valentine! Sometimes I’m blown away that I ended up so lucky!

  177. My mommy has taken such good care of me. I’m 24 years old, and she still went with me to the doctor last week when I had a raging sinus infection. She and my dad are off on a well-deserved cruise this week, so I don’t get to celebrate Valentines day with her, which kind of makes me sad. :(

  178. That clutch is so cute!

    I got the most beautiful flower arrangement from my boyfriend who is currently on US Army deployment in Afghanistan. I cant wait for him and all the other troops to come home! Happy Valentine’s Day!!

  179. I love these little chocolates! I’m definitely going to make them next year!

    My special someone has to be my mom, even though I am grown, because she continues to be there for me everyday, and no matter what she always has my back. She even sent me a Valentine heart this year!

  180. I LOVE your blog! How ‘sweet’ was this post! I never thought it would end with a giveaway…what a great surprise! Thanks for the opportunity-I love Kate Spade!

  181. I am currently dating the most wonderful guy in the world. His name is Ben and he is so amazing and sweet. Whenever I feel down he reminds me how great I am and all the amazing things I can do with my life. I love him so much!

  182. After 6 years of marriage and 2 kids, my hubby is my best Valentine ever! He is my partner-in-crime and best friend even when we have our moments. At the end of the day, I’m a lucky girl.

  183. My daughters always make me smile and laugh. It is the best thing about them.

  184. My best friend is amazing and always listens to me when I need to rant and makes me smile when I’m having a bad day.

  185. I love the way the wrappers on the chocolate match the purse!

    My special someones are my husband, who loves me no matter what, and my daughter, who is making me a Valentine as I write this.

  186. The best thing ever on this Valentines Day morning was to have my two sleepy headed children tell me Happy Valentines Day before they even said Good Morning. The second best thing ever on this Valentines Day morning was to have my wonderful hubby present me with a Starbucks Gift Card!

  187. I love my 1 year old Charlie! He has been such a blessing in my life and makes my smile everyday. I couldn’t love anyone more.

  188. My husband left me a conversation heart that said i <3 u this morning on the counter. So sweet!

  189. One of my favorite sweet treats is ice cream, specifically from Sebastian Joe’s in Minneapolis. (Not to hate on Izzy’s in St. Paul but) they have some of most favorite flavors like Salted Caramel, Nicollet Pot Hole (it’s just GOBS of chocolate) and dozens of rotating flavors, new and old.

    And the winter weather of Minnesota doesn’t faze me either: they have a cold weather discount!

  190. My someone is my cousin, who loves me even when I don’t deserve it.

  191. Very cute purse!

    I love two very special men in my life…my husband and my son! They make me feel special every day.

  192. The chocolates are just toooo cute!! And the clutch would be perfect for me – a chocohalic!
    The best gift(s) from my valentine (Poppa) is the two daughters that he gave me, who then added two son-in-laws to our family, who in turn gave me 4 grand-daughters! AND we all love each other and enjoy spending time together!

  193. My valentine this year goes to all my friends who have been the best support team in the entire world over the past year.

  194. I love my sister because she is always telling me to eat more fruits and vegetables. Simple and sometimes annoying, but love!

  195. “I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart. I am never without it, my dear…” – e. e. cummings. I love my fiance more than life itself, I am so blessed to get to share this beautiful day with him. Happy Valentine’s Day, all! <3

  196. My husband and I got each other the same thing–valentine’s starbuck cards. Love coffee almost as much as I love him:)!
    The little candy bars are adorable–such a cute idea with the hearts and little wrappers. You are so creative. Love, love, love the clutch. How nice of you to share!

  197. I’m a blessed girl with two little love munchkins to spoil with love and an adorable hubby to swoon over on V-Day. I know I’m lucky.

  198. These are the cutest chocolates and the purse is so special. I lost the love of my life one year ago to cancer. I thought no other valentine would ever take his place, but this year I got a new granddaughter who is certainly up in the running. Happy Valentines Day!

  199. My husband has been my Valentine in marriage for 5 years, and my Valentine in my heart for almost 10 years now. He is one of the strongest people I know who helps me strive to pursue my dreams, and I love him dearly. Here is to another year with my Valentine who I fell for because of his Love Potion #9!

  200. somrthing I love – My kids. A source of unconditional love and support for me…They are the best!
