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.

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

  1. My husband is pretty great, as husbands go, but we recently had our first child and he is an AMAZING father. Who knew.

    That clutch is darling.

  2. Love, love, love your site and wonderful ideas!!!! My special someone is my hubby of 33 years! I’m so grateful for him.

  3. I love your creativity you make everything look so great! Thanks for the wrappers can’t wait to use them!

  4. What an adorable and personal gift! I love the custom chocolates. :-) Thanks for sharing your ideas.

    My someone special is my daughter. I am so proud of her for working hard on her dreams. She is so passionate about dance and when I see smiling while wrapping bruised toes or icing a sore spot after class it really reminds me how dedicated and strong she is.

  5. Super cute chocolates! And what a sassy little clutch!

    My special someone is the love of my life. The sweetest, happiest, most loving dude I’ve ever known. Can’t imagine my life without his smile. <3

  6. I would love to win the clutch. So cute !!! I am married to the most wonderful man ever. I am reminded everyday how much he loves me. He is extremely thoughtful and so helpful. Like my mother always said “He will do anything for you!” and she is right.

  7. My special someone is my 4 yr old son. He loves love, always tells me that hearts mean love, and when he’s feeling particularly loving he tell me I’m his heart!

    He’s the sweetest!

  8. Oh my! That is sooo fabulous!

    I miss my husband who is working overseas right now in the AF. I love, love, love Valentine’s Day. Pink, sparkles and chocolate, um hello! What’s not to love??? But it’s just not the same without him.

  9. Pick, pick, me! Love it….thinking of a dinner out with my sweetie!

  10. I love my husband and my daughter. My life wouldn’t be complete without them :o)

  11. Love this idea. Love the clutch eveb more. But the one I love the most is my 16 year old who has been with me through job losses, break-ups, the death of my father, grandmother, grandfather, and other dog. Yes, he is dachshund (a.k.a. wiener dog!) but he has been the one constant for the last 16 years and the love of my life.

  12. My kids inspire me to be a better person
    My husband is my best friend and I love him more every day

  13. These are adorable! I have to keep myself from getting involved in candy making because I know I’ll get carried away… but they seem so simple!

    My mother keeps me sane no matter what I’m going through or how much I heap on my plate. She still lives close so I get to see her a lot. Not as much as I’d like, but still quite a bit!

  14. Those chocolates look too cute to eat! But my amazing husband would probably enjoy a couple. He’d done such a great job getting strong and fit I’m sure they would last him a very long time.

  15. I love my Momma, because she just nursed me through a yicky oral surgery. She brought me ice packs every 20 minutes, and fed me ice cream and mashed potatoes. It’s what mommas do…they’re worthy of our love and appreciation!

  16. The wrappers are great!! My special someone(s) are my kids – the 3 loves of my life!
    Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!

  17. My Mom is the best Valentine I’ll ever have…never fails to call me every Valentine’s Day to tell me how much she loves me!

  18. My someone special are my parents. They have supported me since during these rough times so I really appreciate all they do.

  19. he’s my cookie monster. rough around the edges and no manners at meal times, but well meaning and easy to love.

  20. Happy Valentine’s Day! I love this day, even when I was single I always had dates with my friends but now I am married to the greatest man in the world! He really is the calming ying to my crazy yang! And I still have some of the best girlfriends around!!

  21. My husband is a true love. We lived miles apart and we met at school but my plan was to love em’ and leav em’ but that all changed when I met my husband.

  22. Love the clutch!
    My special someone is my cutie pie daughter who is a big fan of yours. She is smart, sweet, and loves to bake!!

  23. Dear me! Your baking … And creative ideas …are amazing.

    My sweetheart husband, Mr Wonderfrul, who married me knowing he was in for a ride with my liver health and took care of me as I recovered from my liver transplant and then a total knee replacement.

  24. So cute! Love it. My husband is a rock when I get all crazy. He totally balances by craziness out.

  25. I’m very fond of a certain someone who is not especially handsome or rich or suave but who IS funny, nice, and thinks of others. Why worry about the other stuff?

  26. My mom is my best friend and I could not imagine my life without her. I love her more than she could ever know. She is the most giving person I know and has been there for me always. I pray that my daughter will see me the way I see my mom.

  27. So cute, thanks for the great giveaway!

    I’m lucky to have 3 valentines to celebrate today. My husband, my son and my daughter!

  28. Those chocolates look delicious and the wrapping is sublime!

    My husband of 26+ years is my special Valentine. He’s an active duty soldier in the Army and I’ve been happily following him to all of the locations he’s been to…or at least all of the ones the Army allows me to. We’re very close to being “empty nesters” , (We’ve got one married and one left at home) and looking forward to what that new “life” holds for us!
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  29. That purse is super cute! I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!!

  30. I love your homemade candy bars, very, very sweet little idea.

    My true passionate, knock me off of my feet and take my breath away love is my husband. He is my best friend. He is a stay at home dad right now with our beautiful 16 month old daughter while I go to nursing school. I feel lucky everyday!

  31. I love to clutch my husband!

  32. Love the clutch! My special someone today is my 1 year old daughter, who makes me smile and laugh every day. She brings so much joy to our lives. I can’t wait to one day be able to share my love of sweet treats with my little sweetie!

  33. i love friends on valentines day

  34. That purse is freaking adorable! My hubby is my special someone. I can’t wait to get started making a special dinner and dessert for him tonight:)

  35. Too cute!!!!!

    My special someone is my boyfriend of 5 years! I was surprised to see “I heart U” written in Hershey Kisses (Dark Chocolate of course) on the hood of my car! I almost missed it because we had a light dust of snow last night! (We live in Wisconsin). Made my day! Tonight it will be heart shaped pizza and Dave Matthew’s Dreaming Tree wine! :)

  36. Happy Valentine’s Day!! I am lucky enough to have 3 special men in my life- my husband and 2 wonderful sons who mean the world to me!! I love baking and making cake pops for them!! :) And, I would love to win this adorable bag- It totally fits my personality!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!! <3

  37. I am so thankful for my husband! I love him so much. He is working so hard with school and work and we are expecting our first child in June!

  38. Happy Valentine’s Day! My sweetheart and I have been married for just over three years and I love him more and more everyday! Unfortunately, he is overseas right now, so a clutch would make my Valentine’s super great!

  39. I don’t have a real Valentine this year, but I love love love my best friend, my sister! :)

  40. I love my kids! They brighten my day and make everything I sacrifice for them worth it!

  41. The ones that I love always gobble up the stuff I bake….even if it doesn’t turn out so great!

  42. Happy Valentines Day to all chocolate lovers in Bakerella land!!!

  43. My husband has always done something special for me every Valentine’s day, even when we have been horribly broke. When we first were married we had no money and almost no food in our apartment and my husband made our Valentine’s Day special. He made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and used a butter knife to cut them into hearts, they were a little abstract, but I got the point :) This is my most cherished Valentine’s day. He’s a wonderful husband and now he’s also a wonderful father.

  44. Super Sweet Chocolates! Love the pink wrapping and fun labels.

    My special Valentine is my handsome husband and all six of our sweet children!

  45. I made some chocolate molds too, but I like the pink heart in the middle of yours… so doing it next year. Happy Valentine’s.

    I love my hubby, because after 15 years he still makes my laugh turn into one of those fits of giggles that goes away, but comes back with just a thought <3

  46. My someone sweet is my hubby…. just woke up today to a Kindle Fire that he bought me… he always does the sweetest things, not just on Valentine’s Day.

  47. My valentine is my loving husband, who I fall in love with more and more each year!

  48. I love my husband because he loves me unconditionally, fat days and all…

  49. this has been a tough year, but through it all my Mom and my Sisters have been right there. I couldn’t ask for better Valentine’s… but God gave me one anyway. I found my best friend and “other” this year all rolled into one package. He is amazing and treats me and my children with love and respect in all that he does. We are cherished :)

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  50. I love how my girlfriend scoops the kitty litter every morning even though the cats are both ours. I hate doing it with a passion and every time she does it, I am thankful! Hardly a sappy romantic thing, but it’s the truth! Sometimes love in real life is about scooping the kitty litter. :)

  51. How adorable!

    My person is my husband. He gives me the pickle that comes with his burger, he makes me laugh when I’m getting angry at something stupid and he doesn’t turn off “The Voice” when I want to watch it. :) I couldn’t be happier that we found each other and I’m thrilled to spend the rest of my life with him.

  52. How lucky am I that I not only have my family as Valentines, but about 100 students as well. My favorite students are the ones that struggle with new concepts but who try hard and succeed. Seeing the light go on in their minds is better than any chocolate!

  53. These chocolates are so cute!!! And I LOVE the bag! My someone sweet is my boyfriend who is incredibly patient with me and helps me clean up whenever I make a Bakerella creation. He’s even helped me roll cake balls! That’s true love. <3

  54. I love YOU, Bakerella, for this amazingly cute post!!!

  55. My, oh my! You are the best! Your posts always inspire me! You are the one who inspired me to get back into caking, doing cake pops, and making candies and sweets! I love your posts and I am so thankful that you are back to health and enjoying your creative pursuits! Thank you for being you!

  56. Love the chocolates!! You inspire me!

    The 3 people I love most in the world… my sweet and sensitive blond curly girl blessed with a dry humor that cracks people up, my very very love-y and spunky and hilarious brunette curly girl blessed with the most beautiful blue eyes and contagious laugh, and my sweet sweet strong as a bull rowdy run em down little guy who can make people melt with just one smile and great big hug. I am so blessed to have such love!!

  57. Wish I had some chocolate in the house!
    The greatest loves of my life are my 3 children. My 5 year old daughter, my 3 year old son, and 5 month old daughter. They can bring a smile to my face in the blink of an eye! Their dad is pretty rad too!

  58. ADORABLE….I love the chocolates….they are sooo cute!

    I love my husband..it’s the small things that make him special. I love the way he looks at me out of the corner of his eye wheen I giggle…the way he smiles when he sees me playing with our 18-mo old son….the way he loves me unconditionally…even though we are not perfect….we are perfect for each other!! I love you baby!

    AND I love reading your posts Bakerella!

  59. This year, my valentine is my Littlest Love. My son is 10 months old and just learned how to give kisses in time for Valentine’s Day! I’m the luckiest girl in the world!

  60. My husband is the best. He is funny, sweet, caring, and super-cute. I am a lucky lady!

  61. My Valentine’s Day Sweetie Pie would love this purse! She’s cute, short and my bestest pal – my daughter Isla :) She loves to prance around the living room with a purse on her shoulder :) Happy Valentine’s Day to all the Sweet Little Daughters and their very happy Mother’s!

  62. It is easy to say something sweet about my husband – he does the grocery shopping while I homeschool our 5 kids. He’s the best!

  63. Love the chocolates. Packaging really is everything.
    I say that about my sweetie. The outside is great but what is inside is what is really special.

  64. Too sweet! The chocolate candies, the wrappers, and the purse giveaway. I would like to say something sweet about my patient, dear husband. And I will when I see him tonight to celebrate vday!

  65. Happy valentine’s day to my family, they are the best that anyone can ask for. Chocolates esp for my dad, he loves sweets the most!

  66. I love my husband.

  67. Ha, love the little chocolates, and the clutch!
    I love my kids…..they make me smile, and THEY ROCK!

  68. The person I love died. My grandma died 4 years ago and we were very close – to say I miss her is an understatement – she was there for me through it all. I love you Grandma

  69. I love the little clutch! Just adorable. Of course, the chocolates inside of it are just as cute. You are such an inspiration to me, Bakerella! Keep up the beautiful things you do.

    My special someone is my husband. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. He puts up with me and my hobbies and never complains. He does love to eat the results of my baking and I love making him some “leftovers.” I always make sure he has some when I’m preparing a cake order! He is the love of my life!

  70. I love these little chocolate bars! I am definitely going to make these for my chocolate crazy family Valentines Day next year. My oldest daughters birthday is today and I would love to give her the Cha Cha Chocolate clutch filled just as you have shown!

    Thank you for allowing us to use your creativity!

    Happy Valentines Day to you!

  71. My husband is one of the most generous and giving people I know. I’m very lucky to have him!

  72. What a lovely idea! I dearly love chocolate and my husband.

  73. So pretty! My someone is…are, actually, my parents. I just moved away from home (halfway across the country, yikes!) and they always make me feel special and remembered with calls, Facebook posts and sweet gifts for Valentines day :)

  74. I adore my husband of 34 years. We have grown up together. And though he bores me often with his talking about airplanes I still adore the sound of his voice, his love of God and his dashing good looks!

  75. My wonderful husband of 37 years sent me flowers today! Tulips & Irises. Spring flowers, so beautiful on a snowy day in MI.

  76. So cute! Love the little Candies!

    My special someone is my Husband, this is our 10th Valentines day together and he makes me so happy and feel so special everyday!

  77. I have the most amazing group of friends who are there continually. Lifting each other up in prayer and available at a moments notice. I would definitely share this clutch with them!

  78. My valentines are my kids – they are thoughtful & kind – even the teenager!

  79. I love the little candies. They are too cute! That’s it, I’m buying candy molds this week.;P
    Hm…I don’t have a “special” someone, but I do have an amazing friend. She is turning 16 next month and is such a joy to be around. Fun to talk to and laugh with, she definitely is one of my best friends.

  80. my daughter loves kate spade and i love my daughter! she would look so fabulous carrying this clutch!

  81. My husband is awesome, sweet, and romantical. :)

  82. My special someones are my husband and girls! They are so amazing!

  88. What a cute purse!

    My young nieces always make me smile!

  89. I love my MES for putting up with me!!

  90. Saying sweet stuff about my husband & daughter. I can’t say enough sweet things about them.

  91. My husband is the sweetest valentine anyone could ask for.

  92. Lovely Kate Spade, as always.

    My fiance and I had decided not to really exchange Valentine’s gifts this year, as he is in law school and we are super broke.

    But he surprised me with flowers delivered yesterday, tulips, because it was cheaper on the 13th than on Valentine’s Day. It really is the thought that counts. He always knows how to surprise me.

  93. Your ideas are so cute! I made the Valentine’s red velvet cupcakes last night. They were a hit at work today! Thank you.

    The priest we had the past few years is who I’d like to say something sweet about. He’s been a great friend, and we miss him dearly.

  94. My boyfriend may annoy me to no end sometimes but I couldn’t imagine my life without him. He’s stayed with me through my roughest times and supported me in a way I couldn’t have imagined. I don’t know what I would do without him and I’m so grateful that he’s mine.

  95. This is my 41st Valentine’s Day celebration with the man I chose to spend my life with. We’ve shared the joys of raising four amazing children and now the joy of watching them raise our twelve amazing grandchildren — including the newest set of twin girls! We’ve also shared the heartaches of losing parents, a business, and most recently, his strong, healthy body. But I still adore him. And the thing I fell in love with first — his beautiful, big, soft hands — still give me chills when he holds mine in his. Chocolate is his favorite food in the whole world! He may actually love this little purse more than me!! Be blessed.

  96. What a gorgeous clutch! Right now I’m thinking about a very dear friend who lost her mother to cancer yesterday. She was so strong for her mom and took such great care of her for the past year. My heart breaks for her.

  97. Adorable chocolates! love my husband and kids!! They are my reason to get up every day…Regards from Mx.

  98. My special person is my mom, she is the most loving honest person I know that loves me unconditionally every moment of every day. I love you Mom!

    Wonderful idea on the chocolate candy bars, fun and sweet. The Cha Cha clutch is pretty cute too.

  99. I don’t have a Valentine today. But thank the Lord I have a lot of very sweet people in my life that makes my life all the sweeter. And I thank heaven for them everyday!

  100. That is soooo cute I love it!! I also love all the the wonderful family members I have that make Valentines Day special.

  101. Love the chocolates! Love the purse! I would have to say my husband, we are celebrating our 30th anniversary this year and his is just wonderful and my best friend.

  102. Love all your tasty and creative treats!

    My two boys (husband and son) are the best and sweetest guys ever. Love them totally and completely! I can’t wait to get home from work tonight and spend some time with them! :) Happy Valentine’s Day! XOXO

  103. Our little family includes me, my husband, our newborn daughter who is discovering the world around her, and two cats who like each other more than they’ll ever admit. There is always something to laugh about in our house.

  104. Gorgeous! My husband is seriously the best person in my life, ever. He does so much for me, I think my friends are tired of me talking about how he does the laundry ;)

  105. I’m lucky to be with my college sweetie. He is my best friend, constant source of laughter, and the one I turn to when I just need a hug.

  106. Ohhhh so sweet!

    My biggest love (besides God) is my boyfriend Horacio. I love him to pieces, and even though we don’t always see eye to eye, I really hope I spend all the says of my life with him. AND I hope someday I get to do all the awesome stuff you post here for him and my whole family. Just some more practice… haha.

  107. Everything is sweet about my love!! Awesome clutch!

  108. I just love the heart chocolates. Your wrappers are adorable. My special guy is my 11 year old nephew. He’s been going through a hard time right now due to the loss of his mother in November. He just gives great bunches of love to myself and my parents. First thing this morning he came in and gave me a kiss and wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day!

  109. My husband rocks my world! I don’t know what I’d do without him. And I can’t forget our 2 brats – the cats – who always make me smile when I need a pick-me-up. Love you all!

  110. Very cute-love pink and brown together ! and love the bag had my eye on it for awhile so I hope I win ! Keep up the great work.

  111. My husband is my Valentine. Outside of my parents, he’s the single most Awesome person I know. Love him to pieces.

  112. Love the candy idea!! Thanks!!! My love is my husband who is always there not matter what kind of day I’m having!!!! And puts up with all my craziness LOL!!!

  113. That is soooo cute I love it!!

  114. I love my husband and I love chocolate! Happy St. Valentine’s Day, Bakerella!

  115. I would like to thank my parents for always being the sweetest valentines! They have been my valentines since I was born and will always be!

  116. My husband and I decided to forgo the Valentine’s gifts this year to save money. I love him to pieces. It would be fabulous to receive this as a Valentine’s Day gift!

  117. OMG!! The purse goes so well with the cha cha chocolates! What an amazing idea!! I just want to say that my special person is my mum. She is ill at the moment and in hospital but even still always has a smile on her face and asks how I am as well as trying to solve all my problems, which are rather minor compared to her health problems. I think this purse will be a great get well soon pressie or a late valentines pressie for her to show to the nurses!!! I love her lots and can’t wait for her to get better! xxx

  118. My amazing wife went all out for me this year, with date nights planned a few months in advance and for valentines, she got me my favorite Amerettini de Soronno cookies :) She would love this.

  119. I love my girls. Kidlet is the happiest five year old. Cabra is the sweetest four month old.

  120. So cute! My favorite valentine is my sweet husband. I know it sounds cheezy, but it really does just keep getting better with time.

  121. First, love the chocolate bar purse!

    My husband is my Valentine everyday. He is the sweetest, most thoughtful person I know. He is such a good daddy to our little girl. I love him so and without him I would be a total mess.

  122. I love my husband and son! They are my sweethearts!

  123. Love the clutch…and love my fiance!

  124. Well… My first LOVE is Chocolate… My second LOVE is Kate Spade Bags… An Almost tied for second, third LOVE is your Bakerella Blog!!!

  127. My son – my only child. He’s seventeen. He drives me nuts. His room is a mess. I have to nag him to get his homework done. He’ll graduate high school in June. I’m so proud of him. And, even as I’m getting ready to start pushing him out of the next, I still love him like crazy. He changed my life almost 18 years ago, and I’m so glad he did.

  128. Love this post! The chocolates actually look like something I could do! I would love to give that bag to my sweet Valentine daughter. She’s 10, loves to bake and is just full of joy and love. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  133. omfg kate spade clutch. i die.

    This goes out to my dear mother, who is truly wiser than anyone else I know, and can always talk me out of my periodic little panic attacks by knowing just the right thing to say. Also a little shoutout to the sweet guy I’m dating, who is too good for me and would never pressure me. Yay!

  134. My 6 Grandbabies! They bring me so much joy and happiness I can’t even express it all! My husband too, this all would not have possible without him!

  137. Ahhh so sweet!!!

    I woke up this morning to two smoochie montsters and a giant, heart sprinkled cupcake for breakfast! The loves of my life (three of them) couldn’t wait for me to jump in the shower to get my V-Day b-fast surprise ready! I’m one lucky mama and even luckier if my # is drawn!!

  138. I’m so lucky to be able to call my Valentine mine for so many reasons. I’d exceed the character limit if I tried to list them all! <3

  139. First and foremost: you are the sweetest of them all! Secondly, I really, really loved my husband this morning, because he brought me cinnamon buns in breakfast before we both had to go to work. Lastly, the chocolates ar too cute! And so is the bag! Awesome giveaway!

  140. My mom is the sweetest person in the world and best Valentine!

  141. By far, I have the most loving, supportive, and generous family a girl could ask for!

  142. Loved your little chocolates! So cute! My sweetest Valentine is my husband…a wonderful husband and father for 40 years!

  143. SUPER CUTE! Or for V-day 2CUTE!
    I have lots of LOVE to share, but today it’s for my kiddos. I have 5 and I love them more each day. THEY are what matters in life (and my awesome hubby,of course) so they get all my love today. XOXO

  144. Love the chocolate candies and the wrappers!! Besides my kids and my husband being the loves of my life, my mom is the best! Even after having my own family, she still gives me Valentine’s Day presents! I love you, Mom!! ;)

  145. Such a cute purse! My husband surprised me with flowers and cupcakes when I got home yesterday from my business trip!

  146. Love the purse…so cute! I have 5 special Valentine’s…my husband and 4 little kids, love them all sooooo much! They are so sweet and helpful and my husband is supportive and loving with everything I do!!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  147. My poor husband, working so much lately at a demanding job, I know he’s missing me and the little baby I’m growing and I’m looking forward to showing him that we miss him and love him too the first night he can get home in time for the chocolate cake I made (his favorite).

  148. I love my three valentines – my fabulous hubby and my two darling, sweet children. I can’t imagine celebrating this day without them!

  149. I love my sweetheart because he is so caring. He leaves me notes, emails, and always surprises me. He always goes above and beyond to put a smile on my face.
    <3

  150. I have a little brother that is very ill. He was the very first sibling that I could be a ‘big’ sister to…I had an older brother, after my mom and step dad married we had to wait 5 years before Ron was born. He is everything to me. Right now he is fighting tonsil cancer. You never really know how much people mean to you until there’s a chance you might lose them. 50 years isn’t long enough. I want to keep him longer!

  151. My husband made me and our three girls HUGE cookies set beside our pink breakfast this morning…he’s so sweet!

  152. My special peoplea are my friends ’cause they are good chat buddies and aren’t afraid to eat my experiments!

  153. I love my four roommates so much. We get along so well and have created a loving, welcoming apartment together!

  154. My sweet hubby is the cutest redhead ever! PLUS…he does laundry! Love him!

  155. Great chocolates…having a dinner party tonight, they would have been perfect. Maybe next year :)
    and LOVE the clutch!

    Love my family – husband, 2 girls and one relatively new son-in-law. AND my new puppy!!! Lily. She’s wonderful!

  156. You continue to inspire and awe me with your creativity and positive attitude each day. (BTW i am a Pinner, and have Pinned YOU!);]
    I am blessed to have 3 Valentines, My Husband of 20 years, who i still love and consider my BBF, my adorable 11 yr old boy who is still so sweet and full of hugs.. and my 8 yr old girl, who loves me so much and shows me each day;( and who i would have to fight over this purse with!) ;]

  157. Those are so cute!

    My own sweetie is my husband, who I wouldn’t trade for all the chocolate in the world.

  158. My mom did her darndest to give me a happy childhood, and now that I’m an adult she continually surprises me with her strength in facing the obstacles of life. I love her!

  159. I love my husband who works so hard to take care of his family. I love my little boo-kie girl who is 4yo and not so little anymore. I love being a mom!

  160. It’s a sweet, sweet thing!!! This goes out to my mom: Lucky me to have a Guggs like you!

  161. These are just the cutest! The ideas are rolling! My hubby is just the sweetest–last week I had gotten food poisoning and he was just the best man-nurse & daddy to our boys that I could ever ask for!!

  162. These are too darn cute!!! I love my husband. He’s my superman. Always there to save me and I love how he loves our girls so much!

    P.S. Happy Valentine Day to you Angie! Glad you’re feeling better.

  163. I love that my husband has my coffee ready for me when I wake up in the morning :)

    Cute chocolates and handbag!!

  164. I have 3 wonderful Valentines- my husband, who still has me smiling after 12 years, and my two little girls, who are my reason for getting up in the morning (quite literally with the little one). :o)

  165. My valentine is sick! So we’ll have to celebrate later when he’s feeling better, but he’s so worth the wait!!!!

  166. My adorable hubby not only loves me, but helps ground me. He helps me remember what’s really importnat and what’s not. And most of the stuff that stresses me out doesn’t really matter. I can’t imagine where I’d be without him. LOVE HIM!

  167. ADORABLE!
    I’m looking forward to a quiet night with my husband who has always been my hero, from taking the tops off those pesky jars to removing spiders, he’s a keeper.

  168. I love my grandfather. My most favorite memories are of sitting and listening to his stories.

  169. He helped me heal wounds that Chocolate couldn’t fix ;-) He is not only my Valentine, but the sweet tooth of my soul!

  170. That bag is too cute! Missing my sweetie today. 6 more weeks until I move half way across the country to join him in our new house.

  171. Love it, want it, need it, must have it!!!

  172. Beautiful clutch!!

    My Valentine is my husband of four years- my leader, provider, best friend, and love of my life!

  173. I have the best people to love ever! A lot of sweeties!

  174. Happy Valentine’s Day to my lovely wife and puppies and all my friends and family! And, Happy Valentine’s Day to you Bakerella!

    xxoo

  175. You are so crafty!

    My valentine is my sweet little puppy Tyson. He is such a cuddler and always makes me feel loved. How many men out there come running up to you with their tail wagging every time you come home?? :)

  176. This purse is ADORABLE. At first I got really excited for you because I thought it was a huge chocolate bar, but a clutch that can carry mini chocolates is clearly superior. :) My roommate has been an amazing rock for me to lean on this past year, and I’m so glad I’ve gotten closer to her this year!

  177. You have so great ideas… congratulations, I just ask for some one to bring me you book because here in Mexico is not easy to import the books of any web site where you are posted. :-S

  178. I love my husband for staying by my side while I recovered from surgery last winter. I was sick with pneumonia 1 week after we were engaged and in the ICU over Christmas. We married in the spring and he is my bestest friend ever!

  179. Been married for 32 years! He’s left-brain…I’m right-brain! Amazing! And we’re still Valentines!

    Happy Valentine’s Day, Bakerella!

  180. My kids are the most amazing valentines ever. Love them to bits & bits.

  181. My husband is just the sweetest guy ever. Takes such good care of me and our little family. Thanks for sharing all of your sweets with us!!! Have a great Valentine’s day!

  182. I love this clutch!! I’m a huge fan of Kate Spade. And chocolate!

    My special someone is my hubby. He’s my best friend in the whole world and I wouldn’t want it any other way!

  183. As always you are a delight!! And you make delights! Too cute, the treats and the clutch!
    My valentine is my darling husband of 23 years. (Gawd I can’t be that old yet!!) His name is Bret and he is my best friend. We don’t make a real bid deal over valentines day…we just had our anniversary on Feb. 4th. And we make a big deal over that day! So February is our “love” month!
    He is taking me to Italy this spring and that clutch would be just perfect for our fancy evenings out in Rome and Venice!

  184. LOVE that clutch! A new way to have my chocolate ;)
    I’m fortunate to have TWO Valentines! One is my husband, a gentle man and a gentleman. The other is my mom, the coolest person in the world!

  185. Cute purse! I’m so excited to spend tonight going to our ‘traditional’ Valentines dinner at Chik-Fil-A with my husband! I’m so glad I married someone who could be as easy-going and fun as him!

  186. My special someone is my fiance. I love that even though we both have super busy lives, he makes an effort to make us slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Also he plays harmonica in public, which makes him awesome.

  187. My special someone is Husband! He is such a babe and so kind and caring, he makes me want to be a better person, and he sings in the shower, that makes him pretty awesome!

  188. I would like to thank my husband for putting up will me for the past 10 years. It wasn’t always easy, but it sure has been fun. Hope the next ten years are just as crazy! Love you!

  189. I love this!!!! I have to say spending this Valentines as a married couple is that much more special to me and my hubby. We cannot wait until the may more to come!

  190. I have to say that I really adore my coworkers. They make me look forward to coming in to work each day! If I ever change jobs, I am taking them with me!!!

  191. My best friend is always there with me through thick and thin! I’d love to surprise her with one of these…

  192. Love the chocolates! Looove the bag!
    My valentine is my hubby who has helped me tremendously through my chemo for breast cancer, loving me all the way!

  193. I have 5 valentines. My amazing boyfriend of 4 years. My best friend. My dog and my cat. And ofcourse my mom. She’s the original valentine :) I made chocolate mousse for my boyfriend, chocolate covered strawberries for my mom, and heart shaped dog biscuits for my dog :) Happy Valentine’s Day!

  194. I posted a quote on my facebook page this morning… To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world. In my husband’s eyes, I am his world and he makes me feel like the world!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
