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.

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.

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

  1. <3 Happy Valentines Day! <3. Thank you for sharing your passion.

    My puppies are the sweetest. They never run out of puppy kisses, they love to snuggle & they make me laugh.

  2. I love you, Daddy! You’re my first and last Valentine :)

  3. My special Valentine(s) are my kids and husband. All three of them, I would go to the ends of the earth for. They make me smile, they give me purpose, they are all simply amazing in their own unique ways. I wouldn’t have it any other way <3

    Love your little chocolate bars! So cute!

  4. My Valentines are my daughter and so who make my world awesome and I am so blessed to have them!! Happy Valentine’s day to all those blessed to have someone special in their life today xoxo

  5. Happy Valentine’s Day Bakerella! CUTE clutch!

    My Valentine is super considerate. Always doing things to help out other people and putting me before himself. Also, he doesn’t drink it, but he makes me the BEST hot tea!

  6. I LOVE this bag…omg I was salivating over it before you even told us one of us would win one! I can’t wait to see who it is (even though i never win giveaways). I was of the understanding that me and my boyfriend didn’t really “do” valentine’s day…I mean we love each other every day, so I didn’t see why this day had to be any different. But instead of doing nothing, he gave me a gift last night (not valentine’s, but the 13th). It was a little gold locket shaped like an envelope with a personalized message that he asked for just for me. It was such a sweet gesture. I sometimes don’t get super excited about Valentine’s day, mostly because I feel like it’s mean to be all about “being in love” while some people are single, or widowed, or whatever and this day is especially hard for them because they may feel lonely or isolated by the rest of the world. I think that this year I’m taking a different approach though because of the sweet gesture of my love. I think it’s okay to not be with anyone on valentine’s day…you can still tell anyone (not just a romantic person) that you love them…and that is what it’s all about I guess…not to make people without “Valentines” feel unloved or lonely, but to spread the love…even to people who think they don’t have valentines… i miss kindergarten when everyone gave valentines to everyone and everyone felt loved… i can’t wait to have kids to go through that whole process again (and this time, i have pinterest, so my kids valentines will be extra creative!) Sorry i just rambled on forever but thank you for hosting such an awesome giveaway and your chocolates are AMAZING…never thought to make homemade wrappers for chocolate…brilliant idea, as always!

  7. My Valentines are my husband, my two little ones, my mom, dad and sister. These 6 people fill my life with love everyday and I am so very Thankful for each one of them!
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win the Clutch and for the chocolate tutorial. I cannot wait to try them!

  8. My someone sweet is my boyfriend. He’s even better than chocolate! We both like to try new adventures and for my birthday this year he’s taking me on vacation and all I know is when not the where!

  9. My 3 year old daughter, Phoebe is the sweetest girl ever. If she ever thinks I’m sad or upset, she will give me a giant hug and kiss, pat my arm and tell me everything will be ok. Then she’ll ask if she can see me smile (like I do to her when I’m cheering her up). It’s the sweetest thing ever.

  10. Now that he’s my fiancee, I love him even more. Planning a wedding, what’s not to love!

  11. my parents have always offered me love and support, even when i was not the most pleasant teenager. (glad i am out of that phase!)
    my best friend is the greatest guy in the world, funny and sweet, i am glad he is always there for me!

  12. My sweetheart is the most loving man I have ever met! He loves me unconditionaly, even at my worst or on my ‘crazy’ days LOL

  13. That clutch is so adorable!
    My mom is a wonderful woman who has always been there for me, even when I really didn’t deserve it. She makes sure I have whatever support I need to get through college and make it down the aisle. There is just no way in words to convey how much she means to me. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  14. This is too cute. :) my nickname is Cha-Cha.

    I have only been married for 2 years. My hubby and I have only been together for 4 years, not a big feat compared to others I have read here who have been with their husbands or boyfriends for longer periods of time. I am a budding pastry chef and he is my number 1 critic and fan.
    But my husband has been my pillar of strength and love. He surprises me with small things everyday. Chocolates, marshmallows, a song he composed, etc. He is so perfect for me that I can’t believe God has given me such a wonderful husband.
    To my husband Iggy, you made my life extra sweeter!

  15. My stepson is one of the sweetest things in my life. He always hugs and kisses me, even at 14, and can’t wait to see The Hunger Games with me. I never, ever have felt like he loves me any less just because I’m “only” his stepmom :)

  16. My fiance knows just how to make me smile. He found me this picture: http://www.komar.org/faq/churchill_polar_bear_tours/zIMG_2463-churchill-polar-bear-poop.jpg

    It makes me laugh every time I see it. And not just chuckle, full on giggle.

  17. Happy Valentine’s Day, to my sweet husband and our baby-on-the-way! I love you both! And thanks Bakerella, for the giveaway!!

  18. I love these chocolates !!!! so cute !!
    I’d like to thank you for all those good and delicious ideas you share with us, I live in Paris (France) and it’s really difficult to find all the products you use for the recipes, but all of my friends have enjoyed all I tried from your blog !!!
    For this Valentine Day, my only wish is to get pregnant as soon as possible to offer the cutest gift I can to my lover Franck .

  19. My special someone is my husband. He is the butter to my bread, the frosting to my cake, and the one who I am lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with. =)

  20. Adorable chocolates and clutch! Happy valentine day, this day is all about pink, red and hearts to me. Especially praising and embracing my love to my significant other. He’s my best friend and companion for life, that this special day, Valentines day, let’s me feel even more love for my hubby even though I love him more and unconditionally everyday.

  21. Oh my! Yes, please!! LOVE this (pun intended)!

    My 5-month old granddaughter, Jocelyn; is my latest sweetie! Who thought so much love could come in such a wee-small package? Baby giggles are the best!

  22. Wow that’s such a beautiful clutch I would absolutely LOVE to win. My valentines are always my family and friends. We go out for dinner and laugh about all the fantastic times we have had. We’ve been through thick and thin and it’s made us so much closer. I absolutely love them, and want to take this day to be appreciative of how wonderful they are.

  23. I love those chocolates! They are so cute! My special someone is my sweet. He puts up with all of my random ridiculousness which is a lot!

  24. Love, love, love it :) Wonderful job, as always!
    I love my family! Without them life would be difficult and Valentine’s Day would be meaningless! I am fortunate to have a loving family, whom I cherish everyday of the year, not just today!

  25. I love your idea so cute. My two kids are the best, they are the sweetest kids ever, I love them so much.

  26. The purse is so cute! Love the chocolates idea. Made cake balls into chocolate candy shapes this year for all my family. Delivered the kids “cake chocolates” to school this morning to surprise them. Made a spetch for my wonderful, sweet husband. He is so good to me.

  27. omg! I LOVE this purse. And the chocolates are so professionally done- you are so talented. My friend Lauren would die for this purse, she is a true chocoholic!

  28. Cute!!! My two boys and my husband are the best boys/men in my life. They are funny, cute, quirky and I can’t imagine my life without them.

  29. You are pretty awesome! Love those chocolates and the purse!!

    My two wonderful nephews are my valentines! They are what makes me smile in the morning!!

  30. Cutest post!!

    The person I love is my best friend Holly! She’s the most fun, cat lovingest, Harry Potter freak best friend a girl could ask for!!

  31. That is the perfect purse for any chocolate lover! I am spending Valentine’s Day with a man that loves me with all of his heart. My heart melts everytime he looks at me. I can see so much love in his eyes and it makes me feel so lucky to have him. I love my fiance very much!

  32. I love it! :) Great idea.

    I love and miss my little nieces. They are the sweetest things, and they love Valentine’s Day as much as their Auntie does, for all the chocolate they get to eat. ;)

  33. LOVE those little Cha cha chocolates! You have the best ideas!!
    My Sweet Valentine is my soon to be husband Michael – who just sent me Choc dipped strawberries as my Valentines gift! xoxo Love him!!!!! Happy Valentines Day!!!!!

  34. Those are fantastically cute chocolates! I might have to make some for my cutie-pie husband, who is absolutely the best. :)

  35. I have a wonderful husband and 2 fab kids that I absolutely love! My special valentine this year is my 10 year old daughter who loves to help me bake and we have been having so much fun with your recipes. I would have to hide this bag from her as she wants it as much as i do!

  36. Such a cute clutch!

    I love my hubby, who always makes me laugh and brightens my day. :)

  37. I just want to say to my best friends, I love them soooo much. They listen to me when I’m angry, sad and happy. They are always there for me and never complain when I’m too lazy to go out with them. I wouldn’t trade them for the world, my 2 beautiful Shih Tzu’s, BellaDonna and PaTulla. Mama loves you!!!

  38. I’m lucky to have my wonderful husband. He’s my hero and best friend. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

  39. My man’s super sweet! He made me some amazing creme brulee!!!

  40. I love this clutch! But I also love my husband and two princesses who make me want to be a better person and brighten each and everyone of my days.

  41. I love my dear hubby (of only 1 month) – he’s been such a loving devoting husband so far and now that I’m pregnant and see how supportive he is & what a wonderful father he’ll be, I love him more than I ever have – if that’s even possible.

  42. My five year old son, when he gives me his enthusiastic hugs, it is wonderful!!!!

  43. My mom is the most amazing person I know! I love her so much and though I am away at college, she still finds a way to send me a special gift to make Valentine’s Day that much sweeter.

  44. Happy Valentine’s Day! My sweetie just won us dinner tonight at our favorite sushi restaurant!!! I’m sooooo excited. Sushi sounds so much better than what I had planned for dinner…Although, i do love a good Taco Tuesday! ;)

  45. My daughter, who is five, fills me with so much happiness every single day. I never knew I could adore someone so much until she came into my life. My husband is fantastic too, but there’s something about the sweet innocence of a child that really melts my heart.

  46. My love goes out to my 2 crazy boys! Sometimes I am amazed at how wild and “pull your hair out” crazy they can be but then they do something so cute and adorable that it melts your heart and makes you cry. I love them more than words could ever express even when they are driving mommy nuts! I want to wish Cian (5) and Conall (2.5) the very best valentine’s day ever. I also want to send my husband of nearly 10 years (married for 10 but together for 18) all my love this day. Without him it wouldn’t be a family. MMMMWWWAAAHHHH!!!

  47. My darling boy is 10, and growing way too fast. How I love that sometimes he still wants to snuggle with his mama and his stuffed polar bear. Happy Valentine’s Day!!

  48. OMG! That’s is sooooo awesome. Love it. I have to say my Valentine is my husband and 2 girls. Yesterday was my Birthday and also my youngest daughter’s Birthday! we had the best Birthday weekend ever! Today is Valentine’s day so I can now spoil them back! Love, Love Love them!!!!!!! Happy Valentine’s Day!

  49. Adorable…

    On VD, I appreciate my DH even more – he makes me smile everyday and I can’t imagine life without him!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  50. You are so sweet to buy an extra one. I’ve been married 18 years to my best friend!! I am so lucky.

  51. After 39 years of marriage, my bestest love is my husband who is steady and consistent if nothing else….and every once in a while he surprises me by being wild and crazy in a subtle sort of way.

  52. The two people in my life that I love bunches would be my son and husband. They make my life sweet!

  53. My Valentine this year is my Molly-Girl puppy. Love her to pieces…even when she sleeps on my head!

  54. Happy Valentines Day. The clutch is awesome and the candy is so cute. Happy Valentines Day to my awesome kid.

  55. Most awesome clutch ever! I love my family and think that I won the jackpot with my awesome family. Without their support, I would not be who I am today. Love you Mom and Dad! :-)

  56. I LOVE the little chocolates! So cute. I think my favorite is the one that says nice shoes. That made me laugh out loud (in the office – while I’m not supposed to be doing this!).

    My Valentine is my awesome Hubby. He’s always awesome (and really good Daddy too) but he’s been more awesome lately. Taking care of me while I’ve had some health issue. We’ve been together 10 years (married 5) and I love him lots! :)

  57. I just love your site, I make very few of your recipes but I love looking at all the beautiful things you make.

    Right now I don’t have a true Valentine but my special someone is my sister. She is loving, kind, generous, and the perfect person for me to spend my Valentine day with.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  58. Today, my sweetie is my wonderful 2 1/2 year old son. He is absolutely the light of my life. No matter how bad the rest of life gets – he can always put a smile on my face. I love being a Mommy.

  59. I love reading your website!!

    My special someone is my husband. He works so hard between school and his career, but he still finds time to make me feel special everyday. He’s my sweetheart and I’m so proud of him. <3

  60. Love, Love, Love this purse! :)
    I am head-over-heels in love with my (almost) 4 year old identical twin girls! Every day they inspire me, not only to be a better Mom but a better person. They have taught me a Love that I never understood till theay they were born. I truly am blessed.

  62. I truly have a “Funny Valentine” whom I have loved for over 30 years this summer! The way to a woman’s heart may be chocolate, but if it’s accompanied by laughter, that just seals the deal!

  63. Such a cute purse. I would carry it everywhere!

    I am lucky enough to have two special someone’s – my husband and my daughter. We are in the process of selling our house so we don’t have big plans but we all made each other homemade gifts we’re going to exchange tonight. I can’t wait.

So Valentine’s is always a fun time of year for us because we are also getting ready this time each year to remember one of the happiest days of our lives. I love him more than anything. Now that we are parents to a beautiful little girl that is almost 5 I love watching him be her “only” Valentine for now.

  105. Love the chocolates! I’m inspired!

    My hubby is my valentine always and forever. He loves me unconditionally and makes every day feel special. I’m so thankful for him!

  106. These chocolates are adorable, definitely an early idea for next year :) There are so many sweet things I could say about everyone in my life.. but I would have to say that my three little girls that light up my day everyday are the sweetest part of this valentines day! Happy Valentines Day Everyone, I hope its a sweet one!!

  107. Those chocolates are adorable. I love my family, they are amazing! I can’t believe how much my little boy is growing up!

  108. Happy Valentine’s Day to my fiance! We’re celebrating our 10 year anniversary next month, and getting married in August! It’s a good year!

  109. OMG this is adorable. Actually stopped to see this directly because my daughters name is Charlize(11) and we call her Cha for short ( Which is why the Cha cha in the bag caught my attention). My baby girls is by far the best gift ever. Shes constantly leaving me little messages and notes telling me to have a good day, and just serves as a daily reminder of all things magical in my life….This would be a GREAT gift for her!!!!

    Happy Valentines Day! Your work is amazing… :)

  110. I love my husband’s sweet surprises. He hid Oreos in the clean dishwasher for me this morning :) Thank you!

  111. That is just too cute – the clutch and the candies.

    I have a great sweetie – he brought me homemade waffles in bed this morning because I have been so sick with a cold. Love him and my 2 little valentine elves!

  112. Loveee It!! Happy Valentines to all and remember to Love every day!!

  113. Sooo cute! Can’t wait to try these too! My Valentine is my wonderful husband…he is my best friend and is absolutely the sweetest man ever made! <3 He loves me for who I am and NEVER wants to change one little thing (even though I think I should!). I am so lucky!

  114. So adorable! I especially love the “pin me” wrapper! Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for making everyday a little sweeter!

  115. SO CUTE!!! All of it!!!

    My someone(s) special are my girls. They brighten my every day. The love each other so much and little sis looks up to big sis and it melts my heart. They way the play, the way little sis comes up to big sis, pulls her down the hugs her makes me smile. Love those little girls!!! Can’t wait to see how they react once little brother shows up!! And I can’t forget hubby who is my rock, my confidant, and my best friend. Muah!

  116. My husband is my valentine, he is the reason I understand true love. I can’t imagine a day without him.

  117. My hubby is amazing…he is my biggest, bestest supporter of all times. He makes it possible for dreams to come true!! He is my hero and knight in shining armor!! Love you Mikey!

  118. My mom the most special person I know. She goes out of her way fo everyone, and always puts herself last. Shes a true inspiration and a wonderful mommy.

  119. I LOVE your chocolates! They are so cuteI

    When I think of LOVE, I think of so many people. First of all, I think about how much JESUS loves ME for dying on the cross and shedding his blood for me. I think of my precious daugter I have been blessed with. She is my HEART! I love her more than imaginable. I also think of my Mommy and Daddy. They are super awesome and I love them sooooo much.
    Well, I also LOVE this clutch:) SOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!

  120. Love it! My husband proposed to me 13 years ago yesterday! We always end up celebrating the day before Valentines Day because it’s so special to us. Our family is so close knit, we are a family 4 pack with my son who is 8 and daughter who is 6, that we usually end up going out together. The kids favorite is Melting Pot for dessert. All because I had sense enough to say yes 13 years ago. Happy Heart Day!

  121. its funny when you think back to when you fell in love with the person you are with, you never think you could love anymore than at that moment. 13 years later I can say that I love my husband more now then I ever have.

  122. you always have the most awesome ideas! such an awsome inspiration!!

    my someone special is my boyfriend. He has helped me through so much in the 4 years we have been together, and at times I’m not sure what I would’ve done without him. He stayed by my side when I lost my brother, and became my best friend when everyone else walked away. He is always considerate and caring, understanding and loving. Always pushing me to go for what I want and never doubting me.

    Happy Valentines Day! <3

  123. These are too cute!

    So today I want to give a shout out to my BFF from down under, Aly. She and I have shared some hard stuff lately, and though we’ve never met in person, she’s been a shoulder for me to cry on and a listening ear. Love you, Aly.

  124. What an adorable clutch and those chocolates are adorable.

  125. I love they way Joel kisses my forhead at 4:00AM when he is leaving for work and he thinks I’m sleeping.

  126. so cute! (the chocolates and the clutch haha!) i have the bestest hubby who cleans the snow off my car for me in the morning, which is perfect for days like today when i’m running late <3

  127. I made mini cookies and cream cupcakes for preschool parties and everyone loved them! I just discovered your site and I love it! Thank You. My Valentine’s are my three amazing children who I love with all my heart and who love me know matter what. Their smiles always brighten my day.

  128. My husband is my best friend and I love him more than anything in the world.

  129. LOVE that clutch!
    My special someone is my husband, Steve. We’ve been married almost three years and I can’t imagine my life without him!

  130. I love your chocolate creations! They are so cute and creative :)

    someone(s) important: I am a struggling college student but my parents and sister are really supportive and my rock. i love them so much!

  131. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the clutch!

    My special Valentine’s day guys are my husband and two boys! I still get goosebumps everytime I look at my husband and we have been married 20 years … he is still my “all that”! My boys are both incredible kids with firecracker personalities and they light up a room when they enter!

  132. So cute!

    I love my mom. She’s one of the best people I know, and always goes above and beyond for everyone.

  133. SO adorable, I will say my special someone is my Aunt who taught me how to use chocolate molds when I was little!

  134. This year I am my own valentine and I’m not sad about it. This is the year of me. I am on the road to becoming the person I have always wanted to be. It means I won’t be eating any real chocolate this valentines day so that purse would be the perfect guilt free chocolate for me

  135. Too cute! My someone special is my family… so I guess that’s more than someone, but they make my life complete! I’m very blessed!

  136. I forgot to add my name!!

    These are really cute!! I wish I could have made these the other day and given them out today!

    My Valentine would be my mom!
    She is the best and goes out of her way everyday to do something special for my brother and I.
    Mom Happy Valentines Day!

  137. My entry dissapeared and I got the fatal web site error when I tried to submit –so this shouldn’t be a second post…couldn’t find mine :)..so many entries! ha!
    First of all, the cha cha chocolate is fantastic!! these are so darn cute!! love them!! But the purse! are you kidding?!? LOVE it! Would be thrilled to share with you ! ha! Happy Valentine’s day! I am inspired by my Mom who has taught me so much and always been there. ANd my 2 daughters who give my life so much my purpose. My heart is happy. Hope youare feeling well too! :)

  138. I am lucky enough to have 3 valentines: my husband, who is my best friend and the love of my life; my daughter, who at age 13 still loves to talk to me at night just before bed and still asks me to read in her room with her at night and my son (age 10) who makes me laugh and brightens my day.

  139. Love this clutch…thank you! All of the goodness, without the calories! This year, my special someones are my best friends, who support & love me no matter what! XOXOXO

  140. CUTE clutch!!
    I don’t have just one Valentine… I have many. They are my entire family. I love them all so much and I am truly blessed each and every day!

  141. My Valentine is my best friend. I can not imagine a day without him <3

  142. These are really cute!! I wish I could have made these the other day and given them out today!

    My Valentine would be my mom!
    She is the best and goes out of her way everyday to do something special for my brother and I.
    Mom Happy Valentines Day!

  143. What a precious purse!!

    I have to say I’m one lucky girl. I have a husband who makes me feel special and loved EVERY day of the year. But somehow he manages to go above and beyond his normal amazing self on Valentines day. I love that man <3

  144. My son is the cutest and sweetest little Valentine! He was due on Valentine’s day, but came a month early (this happened 3 years ago).

  145. Next Valentine’s Day, my fiance will be my husband and I’m so excited! He is selfless and, after 8 years of dating, is still the first thing I think about i the morning and the last thing I think about at night– a truly amazing and wonderful person!

  146. There’s this one guy…Sometimes, when he smiles, his eyes turn into two sparklers that light up even the darkest evening.

  147. If i (or my 5 year old stepdaughter) received chocolates that said ‘pin me’ or ‘nice shoes,’ it would make my month. If I won the purse that went with it, it would not only make my month, but my 30th (UGH) birthday on the 19th and my wedding. That’s right, I’d parade this baby around with my wedding dress… because the only thing that makes for a good Valentine’s Day/Birthday/Wedding more than chocolate and a purse that ressembled chocolate (how great would it be if it smelled of a delicious dark chocolate???), are my fiance, 5 year old stepdaughter, and two furry dog children. The sweetness with the four of them is the best gift!

  148. My mom is the most incredible person in the world. She raised 5 children and expresses her love for us each and everyday in so many ways so this day is all about my love and appreciation for her!

  149. Adorable purse & chocolates! I am so thankful to spend my Valentine’s Day with the love of my life, my boyfriend who has been my rock & helped me through some hard times. I couldn’t have done it without him.

  150. That is SO CUTE!

  151. I love it bakerella. Can wait to show my boyfriend this! He’ll love it! Lately he’s been buying little small gifts for valentines day, let’s hope I get the big present today!

  152. That is the cutest little clutch! I love the wrapped chocolates too — too late for me to make them for this year but I’m thinking they would work just as well next month with a green shamrock instead of the pink heart. Great idea! My sweets are my family (hubster, son, daughter) — too difficult to pick one on this day. My husband has been my #1 supporter since we met and I know that whatever kind of day I’m having, he will be able to cheer me on or cheer me up (depending on if the day is good or bad). My son would rather eat worms than show any kind of loving feelings (like many other 9-year-old boys) … so when I get a glimpse of a smile or an unexpected hug, it totally makes my day. My daughter is the sweetest thing – always willing to help out and she just has the biggest heart of any 7-year-old I know.

  153. My valentine this year is my nephew, Liam. He’s four years old and the most hilarious person I know. He always makes me laugh and I love him more and more every day =)

  154. Love this cute little bag! My sweet husband brought home the Breaking Dawn movie for me this weekend because he knows I love it. I’ve watched it 3 times in the past two days. <3

  155. valentine’s day always makes me think of my niece! it’s her birthday and i always remember spending the very first day of her life with her and watching her come into the world! she is a very speical young lady-well who couldn’t be with a middle name of Cupid! Happy Valentine’s Day y’all!

  156. my sweet husband is the most loving, generous and patient person I have ever met. I am so grateful for his steadfast love and kind heart.

  157. So cute! My special Valentines are my two kids. It’s so much fun being their mom, even though occasionally I’m tempted to pull out my hair and run screaming into the night. I love being their mom and am so thankful to have them in my life.

  158. So cute and so yummy!

  159. My Valentine is someone I waited a VERY long time to find. Funny thing is…he was right in front of me for years masquerading as a friend :) Now he is still my friend, but also the love of my life!

    Thank you Miss Bakerella for this generous giveaway and Happy Love Day to you!!

  160. I said to my Husband today…….To Me You’re Even Better Than CHOCOLATE!!!

  161. Just 1? I love my husband, each of my four kids and of course my furkid, our dog. They all bring me love, joy and a big smile to my face.

  162. Super cute! I am so happy to have my sweet husband as my valentine for 24 years :)

  163. I woke this morning to rose petals, breakfast, chocolates and a fern. My honey had been out since 1:30am plowing and surprised me this morning when he got home. I love him so much <3

  164. My valentine is my hubby! He is always there when I need him!

    Love Kate Spade too!

  165. My husband still makes me swoon ;)

  166. Something sweet about my Valentine…….

    He always holds my hand.

  167. Those chocolates came out incredible. And the purse is absolutely perfect. This monring my son, who is 8, walked passed my 4 yr old daughter and said “Happy Valentines Day” and gave her a kiss on the head. That sweet little moment, not suggested by anyone – is why I love him so much (along with my husband and daughter)

  168. How adorable!! You are so darn creative! My husband and 2 boys are the most precious Valentines and I am so blessed to have them in my life.

  169. 1. I love you, Bakerella. You have inspired me for the last 3 years (well 4 if you count me reading back to the very beginning of your blog post by post)

    2. I love Kate Spade! She makes the best stuff :)

  170. Life without chocolate is like romance without love.

    Those chocolates look divine.Thanks for sharing the idea.

  171. Ooh, that is SO CUTE!!
    Happy Valentine’s Day to my Tim who has the biggest sweet tooth and is always helping me consume all of those treats I make…and is always encouraging me to try again when I get frustrated and want to give up on a project that doesn’t go as I expected.

  172. You have the sweetest ideas Bakerella!
    My special someone is my husband. He has worked very hard to give his family an amazing life. No one has ever supported or encouraged me the way he does. I am so blessed to have him.

  173. These are super cute – I love labels & printables & I will definitely be making this weekend when my fiance and I celebrate our Valentine’s Day.

    My fiance and my yorkie Bowie drive me crazy, but I can’t imagine my life without them and I secretly love it!!

  174. Love the bag … I really am a chocolate fanatic!!! Especially dark chocolate yum … I just love all your ideas, you are very talented and cute too!!! I have been away from my family for 1.5 years, since my husband had to leave the country for immigration, and we were married on Valentine’s Day, corny right LOL! It has been very hard on me and my husband to be apart from our family. I have to say really your blog makes me smile and I love all your little treats. I hope my husband can come home soon, we are counting down the days and thanks to Bakerella for keeping my mind off missing my family so much!!!

  175. I wanna let you know that I love YOU… your spirit, your creativity, your zest for life, and for sharing it all with this community! It’s wonderful to see how God has given us access to all of these thru your blog and FB… the testimony of your trials… the joy of your expression thru sugar! I LOVE YOU!

  176. I have been blessed with the most wonderful husband ever. He is the perfect gift. We’ll celebrate our 42nd anniversary this year. God is great.

  177. I always get such great ideas from your web site and emails. The Kate Spade clutch is absolutely adorable (not to mention–nonfatening!). I received the best possible Valentine this morning. I stopped by my daughter’s house to drop off Valentine gifts before I went in to work. My sweet, adorable 10 month old grandson was sitting waiting for me. When I walked in, he held up a Valentine box of Chocolates for me–what was even better was the raised arms to give me a hug and kiss. What a way to start off Valentine’s Day.

  178. Oh that purse is so adorable. Perfect for a chocolate lover like me :) Thanks for the chocolate treats they would be so fun for friends for valentines day. I’ll have to venture into candy making. My hubby is gone a lot working so i’m so excited to spend the evening with him :)

  179. Oh gosh that clutch is to die for! Two of my most favorite things, adorable fashion items and chocolate. My special someone is my mother. She is constantly making sacrifices to make sure I can make the best of my life and has set a path for me in gold. She bought me a pretty little red car for Valentine’s day and all I got her was some flowers and chocolate! I feel a little guilty, but such is the life of a poor college student!

  180. You have more talent in your pinky finger than I have in my whole body! Those candies are simply adorable!

    And if that wasn’t sweet enough, my “sweet someone” is my husband Chaddy. He has walked right along side me every step of the way as I have built my little cake business and he truly is my soul mate.

    BTW, I LUUUURRVE that Kate Spade purse!!

  181. Love the chocolates & the clutch.
    My special someone is my fiance, he is always there for me and can always make me smile. Can’t wait to marry him in June :)

  182. 27 years ago, when we were just 14, I baked my husband a batch of sugar cookies and walked 1/2 mile to give them to him for Valentine’s Day. He repaid me by giving me my first kiss behind his garage!

  183. Not only are you talented, but you’re unbelievably sweet. Thanks for this great opportunity. That purse looks ridiculously cute. I’d love to stuff that clutch full of some homemade chocolates and have a girls’ night out!

  184. C’est jolie! Such cute chocolates, a lovely bag, and so sweet to hear about everyone’s valentines.
    I love my little sister (she turns 14 tomorrow!) who helps me with all my baking projects (both creating and eating). I would love to give/share this pretty gift with her (how could I pass over all those chocolates without having some myself?)

  185. That purse is to die for!
    My valentine this year is my husband. This is our first valentines day. He brings joy to my life every day and challenges me to accomplish my goals. The best part is, he always eats what I cook, no matter how poorly it turned out, and he always says it’s wonderful. He’s the best.

  186. Love the cute chocolates!

    My special people are my daughter and my hubby and my soon baby to be (Oct). My family is everything to me and they lighten up my life. For my bun in the oven, I can’t wait to meet you and your big sis is going to love you!

  187. Cute chocolate clutch with matching chocolate bars! What an idea!
    I love my hubby and son so much, I think I’m nothing without them.

  188. These are adorable and I love the clutch! Happy Valentine’s Day to my perfect husband and wonderful daughters!

  189. To my best friend Tricia: You have been through thick and thin with me since 7th grade. I have known you 19 years now and I love you more then anyone. Without you, life would be hard.

  190. I have three someones: my husband and my parents. Couldn’t get by without all 3 of them! Love this post – those chocolates (and their packaging) are just amazing!

  191. I love my mommy because she is the bestest! (Yup, she is so great I am allowed to make up words.)

  192. I check your site everyday to see what fantastic thing you have created. My sweet husband bought chocolates for me today to bring to work and share. He makes it a sweet day for all.

  193. It amazes me some days how much love we can contain in a little house like ours. Between my husband and my daughter, I am showered with all the love and affection I could ever have hoped for.

  194. You are adorable!! Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us!! I hope your day is amazing!

    My Valentine is the man who makes me feel special EVERY day of the year and not just this one, my husband. But I am a lucky woman, I have 4 more Valentines, my amazing children!!

  195. Something sweet: I have the most amazing 3 daughters, they are talented and beautiful and a real blessing to me, however they live out of state so the beauty in winning would be – “no borrowers!” hehe!

    Happy Heart Day!

  196. My fiance is on travel this week, so I miss him and can’t wait to have him home!

  197. loooove your creativity oh…and the kate spade bag too. ahahah. you are so amazing. so are my two children Damon & Gabbi. they are the best thing to have happened to my husband and i and life would not be the same without them. happy vally day to all!

  198. My husband and I got engaged a year ago yesterday and were married on November 5th! He’s the best Valentine ever!

  199. You are amazing. I always look forward to your posts. I have tried many of your ideas. You have touched the ones I love through cake pops at baby showers, banana french toast cups at brunch and cute chocolates on Valentines Day. Thank you for your generosity.

  200. That purse is so cute! I have a long time boyfriend of 3.5 years and I love him so much. We’ve been together since my senior year of high school and I couldn’t ask for a better person to be with! :)
