Cha Cha Chocolate

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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

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

I made little heart chocolates. Hi.

IMG_6110

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I created these with different sayings.

Even one for the pinterest lovers out there.

Here’s a pdf if you want it.

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

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

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

Or at least the cutest thing that week.

It was on sale thank goodness. Wanna see?

It goes with the theme so far.

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

But this chocolate is a little bit bigger.

And sassier.

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

Check it out. A Cha Cha Chocolate Clutch.

IMG_5896

From Kate Spade.

Loving the label.

IMG_5917

And look at the chocolate candy clasp.

I die.

IMG_5926

And the inside lining. So cute.

IMG_5922

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

IMG_6184

Big enough to carry all my cha cha chocolates.

IMG_5944

Thankfully it has a chain strap, too.

IMG_6163

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

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

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

  1. they are so cute,
    my special someone is all my friends I made them all heart shaped cake pops this valentines day

  2. My favorite thing to do on Valentines Day is to spoil my husband and our two boys with sweets. I made marshmellow pops, sugar cookies and cake pops for home, school and work. I am looking forward to showing them all how much I love them tonight by slowing down, saying “forget the dishes, cleaning and laundry” and just spending time together. They have made me one lucky girl!

  3. I love my daughter more than Cha Cha Chocolate and boy would that clutch look adorable in her cute little hands. Thanks for a chance of winning it for her.

  4. LOVE your ideas! So fun! Thanks for sharing and making our lives richer! :) My love comment is for my hubby of 29 years…he left me a chalk message on our garage floor that I found when I pulled in late from work last night and this morning I had a love greeting on my mirror! Feeling blessed and hope you all bless someone with love today! :)

  5. My special someone is my best friend. She understands me, and we can say so much without saying a word.

  6. Love those chocolates and would love to win!! My someone special is my definitely my fiance! He makes me happier than I have ever been and is so patient, kind, and full of love. I can’t wait to get married to him this year!

  7. Oh that is too cute! I love those little chocolates!

    The nicest thing I could say about love is the amazing love that was given to me. I surely don’t deserve it but I know that God has poured out unconditional love on me. A sinless savior died to save my sinful soul and I’m forever grateful!

    Happy Valentine’s Day sweet Bakerella!

  8. My nephew was born seven years ago today. Happy Birthday, Monkey! <3

  9. I have the best little girls in the whole world. They are my valentines today.

  10. I love myself this Valentines. I have many people to love in the world but like Buddha said. “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

  11. Omg! I love it! It’s too cute! And I just love Kate Spade!

  12. Love the “chocolate” clutch! My valentine is my husband who after 36 years I still believe to be the sweetest, most honest and hardworking man I’ve ever known…and love him dearly.

  13. When I think of who I love most, I think of three people…my amazing parents and my wonderful boyfriend! They are all there to back me up 100% no matter what the situation may be! I don’t know where I would be without them and I’m so thankful for everything they do for me :)

  14. My boyfriend, he is the best. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than him.

  15. Such a cute bag! I have two special people – my husband and son, two very special guys who know how to warm this girl’s heart right up.

  16. This post is just too cute! The guy in my life is the sweetest, goofiest boyfriend I could have ever imagined. I’m so glad he’s mine!

  17. My husband is very sweet. I don’t buy sugar for my tea anymore – he just has to touch my cup!

  18. Those chocolates are just adorable. I really need to try making candy. I usually just stick to cupcakes and cookies.

    My special someone is my husband. He is the greatest man, so loving and supportive and a wonderful father. I am one very lucky woman and love him with all my heart.

  19. My daughter is the sweetest little girl in the world…and I’m not just biased :)

  20. These chocolates are ADORABLE! Keeping this idea for next year.

    My very own Valentine is my boyfriend, Bryan, who always writes me the sweetest notes in cards – they always top the pre-printed greetings! He is the one who can make me smile regardless of how upset I am, the one who can make me melt with any number of sweet words, and the one I hope to spend a hundred Valentines days with.

  21. Spending valentine’s Day with the greatest person I know…my dad!! He has been my rock through this really tough year. We lost my beloved mother in march..not sure I would have been able to get through it all without him.

  22. I love the chocolates idea!! And I love Kate Spade!!

    My special someone is my wonderful, adorable, incredible 21 month old daughter. She brings so much joy to my life. I can’t imagine going a day without her smiles, giggles and adventurous spirit. I don’t know how I ever lived without her!

  23. What cute chocolates and an adorable clutch! My husband is so thoughtful and hardworking. He means everything to our daughter and me. :)

  24. well for the past couple days i have been home sick with my siblings and i just wanted to thank my mom for spending her valentines day with us sickies. and its only her because my dad is in the navy and only comes home on the weekends. so thanks mom for taking care of me and my sister.
    ~mo

  25. The candies are too cute! As cute as the crayon hearts I helped my daughter make for her Valentine’s gifts.

    My special someone is my wonderful husband – he always puts me first and makes me feel special in the many ways he thinks of me and respects me. I’m a lucky woman!

  26. My nieces make me feel like a million bucks!

  27. This was such a cute idea!! You are really a talented baker! I saw this purse one time and I thought that it was super adorable! But… it was way out of my price range! I would like to have it but even if I don’t get it I am sure that whoever does will really appreciate you! This is my first giveaway and I am super excited. Thank you Bakerella for all of the inspirations that you have given me and my sisters!!

  28. i have the sweetest sweetheart ever. i know this is kinda silly, but he saw that my tire was low and took it in to see what the problem was and turns out it was a screw. i love that he loves me enough to do “guy things” like that without having to be asked. one less thing for me to have to worry about.

  29. OMG! How freaking adorable is that!!! I’ve got two loves in my life! One is my hubby of 10 years (on April 6) – we’ve known each other since we were five! Last year for Valentines he bought me 2 purses online – both pink and cute!! i get complements all the time on them! Can you tell he knows me well? My second love is my new baby girl! Kennedy will be 10 months old tomorrow and is the sweetest baby ever! Her smile just melts your heart and makes your day!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  30. Very cute purse! I normally don’t enter in these things, but I can’t resist that purse – I LOVE PURSES!!!
    I am a lucky lady because I have 3 valentines, my perfect hubby and 2 of the sweetest kids around! Happy Valentines Day!

  31. So adorable! I am lucky enough to have 4 super joys in my life…my 3 huggable and lovable daughters and my amazing kissable hubby!

  32. I love my husband! He’s the best!

  33. My cousin Corey has been such an amazing influence on my life in recent times. Perhaps its the shared blood and family understanding, but he fully understands some of my more complex feelings and give me some of the kindest, most genuinely helpful advice i could receive from anyone. He doesn’t get enough credit but Corey is a complete inspiration for me.

  34. I love my husband! He took me out for a surprise V-day dinner last night :)

  35. I love my husband! He took me out for a surprise V-day dinner last night :)

  36. I have to share something sweet about my 2 sweet guys. My husband has been my valentine for 13 years and still is as sweet as ever and my 3 year old Owen makes me proud daily by being the sweetest, funniest, most caring little guy I have ever met! I love them both so much!

  37. my boyfriend is the best! he got me two pounds (!!!) of peanut brittle today!

  38. Super cute! There isn’t anything better than spending tonight with my husband-to-be and our daughter. :)

  39. My husband makes me a better person and stands by me through all. I love him so much and couldn’t imagine spending today and every day with anyone else. :)

  40. My sweetheart — my wonderful, loving husband! God has blessed me.

  41. I saw this bag on the kate spade website a few days ago…wanted to buy it so badly! My husband is my Valentine..he is the sweetest person, every day.

  42. cutest thing ever!

  43. Super cute idea! I am thankful for my every loving husband who is the best Valentine gift ever. Super thoughtful and and would do anything for me. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  44. These chocolates are soooo cute! Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Especially to my two little Valentine’s who give me the best Valentine’s kisses this morning and everyday of the year.

  45. My mom is always a great Valentine! She gives me a handmade valentine every year and I always save them – I have quite a collection. I’m so thankful that we are so close :)

    Happy Valentines Day everyone! xoxo

  46. That has to be one of the cutest clutches I have seen… so sweet! My valentines are many, friends at work who are family, my sweetheart husband, my sister and my two sons. I am truly blessed with many sweets in my life!

  47. Our little Valentine is celebrating her first St. Valentine’s Day today! She’s 9 months old and the apple of our eyes!

  48. My husband is as sweet as the little chocolates you made, which are so adorable, as is your new purse! I tell my husband he is perfect, which he probably isn’t, but he is certainly perfect for us!

  49. Oh, what a super cute clutch! And the chocolates are definitely something i’m gonna try to make, they’re too cute!
    But more than all the chocolate and cute clutches in the world (more than anything actually) I love my hubby. He’s been my best friend for years before we became a couple and knows me better than I know myself =)

  50. SO cute! And I would probably stuff it full of chocolate too. I always seem to have one piece in each of my bags!

    My Valentine is my hubs. He is my best friend and love of my life. And I get to spend most of today with the best gift he has ever given me, my sweet baby boy. He is the perfect mini-Valentine to share the day with until my big one gets home from work :o)

  51. These are adorable. I’m planning my daughter’s first birthday party and I am so making these as favors. She is my valentine. I didn’t know I was capable of loving as deeply as I love her. Watching her face light up when I enter the room is just about the greatest feeling ever!

  52. Cute clutch! Even cuter chocolates!

  53. Love that purse.

    My husband and I trained for and ran our first marathon last year. He is an amazing guy and I would have never been able to keep up with the schedule let alone sign up for a marathon without his support.

  54. My boyfriend of 7 years is the most wonderful Valentine…all year round! He is kind, respectful, loving, and most importantly..FUN! We never stop having new adventures and experiences together!

  55. My honey is the best! we have been together for 34 years:)

  56. I love love love the clutch! I made the hubby heart-shaped Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies for V-day and Bakerella inspired me to display them in a cuter way than just leaving them in the pan. So, I cut them out with a big heart shaped cookie cutter and put them on a heart shaped red plate. Super festive and cute! I love this blog!

  57. I love the heck out of my husband, but I think my favorite valentine is my daddy <3 Every year I get a dozen flowers from him for valentines day! Never roses, but always sweet :)

  58. After 2 decades I love my husband even more than the day I met him, even the day I married him. He is supportive and loving while taking such good care of me. Which isn’t easy since he got the “in sickness” part of the deal. Poor guy. But he still loves me & tells me ll the time. I am very lucky.

  59. My other half is the sweetest Valentine I’ve ever had. We’ve had ups and downs but it’s the best Valentine’s day gift to know that at the end of the day someone has got your back.

  60. I love my ten month old son who just learned how to blow kisses!

  61. My husband is so much better than I deserve – so glad he’s mine. :)

  62. My husband is my one and only valentine. We have been married for almost 3 years and he is still the sweetest and funniest person I have ever met. I love him to death! <3

  63. My hubby is working hard to help me get healthy. He re-arranged his schedule so we can both get workouts in during the week without leaving our daughter with a sitter, has helped me rid the kitchen of unhealthy snacks, and doesn’t complain about the veggie-laden cooking I’ve been doing.

  64. I love cake pops and I love you Bakerella for sharing them with us!!!

  65. Love Love Chocolate! That clutch is to die for!

    My special someone is my hubby. He is the most sweet and caring man I know and his love is truly unconditional… I am very lucky to have him in my life. <3

  66. I have a wonderful 24 year old daughter and even tho Daddy is the one to give her chocolates for Valentines day – I would love to be the one to give her is oh so cute clutch. She is working hard in school and she is a wonderful daughter.

  67. I don’t have somebody special as a Valentine this year but my sister always makes a point to do something for her perptually single sister. She is the best big sister anybody could ask for.

  68. So greatful for friends that I’ll be spending my Valentines with…. sappy movies and chocolate!! Love my girls!!

  69. What a great idea! I love these! and the clutch!

    My boyfriend is so sweet he is making me valentine’s day dinner!

  70. My someone special would be someones! I honestly cant say just one my two beautiful baby nieces, two amazing and beautiful sisters, my momma and dad who are always there and my wonderful boyfriend who I want to be with forever.

  71. Love the chocolates and the wrappers!!

    My special someone is my ever-loving boyfriend, who has come to not only tolerate my furry feline roommate that came with me as part of a package deal – but loves him like his own child!

  72. These candies are so cute! :)

    I possibly have the best boyfriend/ Valentine a girl could ask for. He is my perfect balance. I’m kind of (who am i kidding i’m REALLY) crazy and he’s so calm it helps me feel calm. 5 months ago when my father suddenly passed away he was there by my side day in and day out. I honestly don’t know if I would have made through that difficult time without him. Even to this day when i randomly cry during Chili’s commercials (my dad made the best bbq ribs…so those Chili’s baby back rib commercials get me every time) he just wraps me up in his arms and makes it all better! He’s the funniest, sweetest, smartest, kindest most amazing guy i’ve met!

  73. I love my mom; always thinking about others and willing to do anything for me. :)

  74. I adore this Kate Spade Clutch, but not as much as I adore my precious family. I am single and do not have a man in my life but what i do have is an amazing Sister, brother (plus spouses), loving parents, the best friends a girl could have and the 7 most precious adorable nieces and nephews any woman would be lucky to have. Those 7 kids are the reason I bake and they always put a smile on my face so i have 7 valentines and they have my heart!

  75. I love this post! I love my hubby but my Valentine has always been my mama. Every year without fail I know that I will receive a card in the mail for every holiday. I’m truly blessed to have her as my mom. She is unselfish, kind, caring, a great human being in every sense of the word. She never ends a conversation without telling me how much she loves me.

  76. My valentine is my hubby – we’ve been together for 20 years this year (married for 12). He took me to see The Vow this past weekend – sooo sweet since it’s a “chick flick” and that’s not his thing.

  77. That is too cute!

    My special someone is my loving boyfriend. He’s always there for me, whether I’m on an emotional roller coaster, or just content baking/cooking in the kitchen. He’ll come up to me and give me a big hug (often when I have tears in my eyes or a big sharp knife in my hand). Always makes me happier.

  78. Oh, Bakerella… we love you! Thank you for always inspiring us to create sweet treats for the ones we love. :) And thank you for another wonderful giveaway! Happy Valentine’s Day! Cha Cha!

  79. This entire post is the most adorable thing ever! I love the little chocolate squares and the super cute labels, and that purse? Wow. My valentine today is my sister who is the funniest, friendliest and most awesome person I know. I’d probably even share my chocolate with her. Maybe ;)

  80. I love all of this! My husband is so sweet, he made dinner and got me my favorite flowers. He’s the most awesome.

  81. He’s always at his best when I’m at my worst and need him most! :)

  82. Love the Pinterest theme labels! This year I’m spending Valentine’s Day with my 8 month old daughter. The sweetest thing about her is her smile, it lights up my day!

  83. My valentine is the sweetest! He is planning a special surprise for me when I get home tonight! I love him!

  84. My husband has to be the most patient man I have ever met. I’ve had issues with my thyroid over the last two years, which wreaks havoc on my hormonal emotions. He has been a huge calming influence on me when those hormones kick in, he tolerates me when I can’t even tolerate myself. He still leaves his socks all over the living room…but he’s a keeper :) Love the clutch!

  85. My special person is my daughter and she would love me even more if I won this purse. Happy Valentines day =D

  86. My special Someone is Sara:
    You are the most thoughtful person I know. Lets hope that this way I can return a favor.
    Love Liza

  87. I am marrying my best friend!

  88. Your chocolate is really cute, and the wrapping is even better. Just want to give a shout out to my hubby and let him know that I Love him very much. Thanks for the chance to win.

  89. I would like to say something sweet about you. You are an inspiration. I work in the creative field and sometimes feel stagnant…then I read your blog and am inspired by your never-ending creativity and positivity. I strive to find the sweetness in life, and you are by far a shining example of what true sweetness is. I hope you have a lovely Day of Pink!!! :)

  90. Adorable – the purse and the chocolates! I love my husband and my kids. They make me smile everyday.

  91. My special someone is my fiance. Love is a beautiful thing!!

  92. My hubby! He’s amazing and so incredibly awesome. Love that guy!

  93. Love the chocolates and the purse! Both are very cute! I am celebrating Valentine’s day with my sweet husband. I have loved him for over 30 years and every day he still surprises me.

  94. Wow, who can resist a bag like that?

    Well, my loved one. We have been together for six years, and he has seen me grow and change into the person I am now. The wonderful things about him is that no matter how difficult life is, he remains to be the most kind, forgiving and understanding man i have ever known. And that is why I never forget to tell him I love you every single day of our lives together.

  95. What a great idea!! LOVE! In honor of Valentine’s Day, I have to recognize my boyfriend as my special someone! He’s beyond patient, thoughtful and loving, and always manages to bring out the best in me. My life has definitely been a much happier place with him in it! :)

  96. This is such a cute idea for next year! I haven’t dabbled in candy molds yet, but I definitely will now! My husband is so sweet. He wakes up with me every morning that I have to go to work early, just so he can tell me to have a good day at work. :)

  97. I love your website. But girl, you made the little hearts with melted candy and a toothpick? Crazy!

    I love my sisters – have three of them. We don’t always get along but I wouldn’t trade them for anything!

  98. I’m so thankful for the man who randomly came into my life this year- first time in my 30 years I’m looking forward to this holiday as opposed to detesting it.

    Sidenote- cutest clutch ever.

  99. nice chocs!!! my special person is my secret valentine who i have known since childhood. If only he knew to return my love back….. :( the purse will make life better.

  100. Love these chocolate and wraps. So adorable. And I would love that clutch. Cha cha chocolate!

  101. My special Valentine is my best friend, confidant and the love of my life. It is my sweet husband. We have been together for over 21 years, married almost 20 and I still get all tingly inside when he walks through the door. He treats me like a queen. Your blog makes me smile and I wish you and I were neighbors. Oh, and I have a crush on Kate Spade too. :) Happy Valentines Day!

  102. What a fabulous clutch! Thank you for offering one to giveaway!

    My special Valentine this year is my husband of almost 25 years. He’s been working overtime since Jan. and I miss having him home more, but he does it because he loves us and I know I’m blessed to have him in my life.

  103. I love it! How cute. But if I win it I’ll have to give it to one of my sisters. I love them both dearly and they are both graduating this year, one from college and one from high school. This would make an awesome gift for either of them!

  104. So cute! My special sweeties are my kids. They all (4) were in bed snuggling with me – what a blessed mommy!

  105. Lovely chocolates, simple and very inspiring, like you Bakerella. I love my family: husband n 3 kids. My life seems nothing wothout them.

  106. My boyfriend loves to feed me, especially chocolate! :)

  107. My oldest daughter who is so sweet and never wants to put me out nearly broke my heart last night. I told her I had to run to the grocery to pick up some things and she said — in all seriousness — “Mom, I’ll start eating less food so you don’t have to go the store as much.” Man, I love that kid. What she doesn’t realize is that I really like to go to the grocery!

  108. I love these individual wrapper ideas! They look so professional! Thanks for such great ideas, cause of you I am extremely inspired in the kitchen…thank you for that!!

  109. I’ve been eyeing this clutch for so long! I’m lucky to have so many special people in my life, but I want to call out on one of my friends. We’ve been through good times and bad times together and is the person I can always count on. All I want is to be the best of friend that I can be for her too!

  110. What a cool clutch!! My poor one-year-old baby girl is sick this Valentine’s Day. But she still managed to give mama smiles this morning. She is perfect. Even when she’s sick with a fever and grumpy!

  111. My special someone is my family. I don’t know what I would without them. They are always there for me for support and everything else you can think of. I love them all so much!

  112. Thanks once again Bakerella for great inspiration! I would love to win this clutch. It is so cute!

    Fingers crossed!!!

  113. My boys and my hubby are my Valentines. :) Life wouldn’t be worth living without them. I really hope I win this clutch. My husband and I are living by the rules of Dave Ramsey so there is no money in the budget for anything fun like this for quite awhile :)

  114. These are too cute…unfortunately my honey does not like sweets…what the heck is wrong with this man??? Ilove that he leaves more for me. Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!!

  115. Such a cute post!! The chocolates are adorable and I really love the Kate Spade bag :)

    I love my friends! Not only are they there for me all year, but we’re hanging out together tonight since most of us don’t have dates!

  116. My dog is always my Valentine, because today is her birthday! Plus she’s sweet, and always gives kissed.

  117. Although my husband and I don’t get too into this holiday, he deserves to be recognized for being such a patient and kind man. And for putting up with me. :)

  118. My sweetheart always does such a good job cheering me up when I’m feeling down. I admire him greatly for his drive to succeed as well.

  119. Happy Valentine’s Day to all the Sweeties out there!! Hope you all have a wonderful day :-)

  120. To my friend Karen who just came out of surgery; I love you!

  121. adorable post!

    my husband, my valentine – he gives me hope and makes me laugh and loves me!

  122. My husband is “my valentine” forever. We’ve been married for 28 years, we work together everyday, and he still gets “that look” on his face when I walk into the room. “That look” still makes me swoon over him like a teenager.

  123. This is too cute. I am so in love right now with the most beautiful girl in the world. She is kind, has a heart of gold, and inspires me to be better everyday. Though she doesn’t even know how I feel, just knowing there is someone out there like her gives me hope!

  124. I love, love, love my kids and husband!

  125. You have the most awesome ideas.. I love this one the best and it looks so easy… My husband and my children (teens) are my sweetest Valentines today…they have been through alot with me the last few years and have stood by me through thick & thin.. I love them all very much

  126. My valentine is well….easy on the eyes! Good thing he’s all mine!

  127. Love the clutch and your site. It always brings a smile to my face.

    My husband loves to do the cha cha and it’s one of the first dances we did together.
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  128. My mom’s cooking is still my favorite thing to eat. :)

  129. I have the best family! The Valentine on my heart today though is my grandmother that passed away one month ago today. She was the most beautiful, loving, kind, gentle person I’ve ever known. I’m proud to be her granddaughter and pray that I will always know the amazing influence she was in my life. Also, shoutout to my awesome hubby. He’s the best!!!!

  130. My boyfriend is the sweetest man. He takes excellent care of me, and our cats, and our soon-to-be-adopted ex-racing greyhound. He leaves me sweet love notes hidden around the house, which I usually find months later!

  131. That clutch is too cute! My special someone is my husband. We’ve been through so much together, and I wouldn’t trade him for anything. He’s been my rock and my soulmate for 31 years. I love you, Bill.

  132. My sweet, sweet husband worked all day yesterday, went right to school for a test, and didn’t even blink when I called him at 9:30 p.m. to ask him to pick up cards and pink milk for our daughters. AND he gave me a super sweet Valentine’s present….he’s such a keeper!! :-)

  133. My special someone is my husband. He is all a husband should be. He is caring and funny, strong and bold, loving and sweet. He is not perfect and makes mistakes but I love him all the more for them. I am just one of those lucky ones who found the right person and plans on staying by his side till death do us part.

  134. i love my boyfriend and our puppy. together we have our own little family. :)

    p.s. i loooooove kate spade.

  135. My special someone is making me dinner tonight even though he works late today and early tomorrow. I plan on making him a sweet card and a nice chocolate treat :)

  136. My husband always knows just how to surprise me with the best things. Looking forward to forever with him.

  137. Love the purse, love the chocolates! Early idea for next year, definitely.

    I have so many special people I have to be thankful for (am I giving an Oscar speech?). My boyfriend is my Valentine today and I couldn’t have dare to do half of the things I’ve done these last 2 years if it wasn’t for him. I love him so much and he’s what I’ve been looking for my entire life :)

    Spread the love!

  138. My husband is great, but my mom is the sweetest. You know the kind of mom I’m talking about…always says yes, knows how to do everything, your biggest fan. That’s my mom. I love her to pieces.

  139. I have a wonderful husband, but I want to take this time to honor my AMAZING mother! She is so selfless in her love, and has honestly become my best friend. We talk daily and it’s still not enough. A purse like this would make her day!!

  140. I don’t know what I want more Chocolate or the Purse! My husband is my Valentine. Even after 6 years we still by each other little gifts. He’s the most unromantic guy ever but he still melts my heart with a kiss.

  141. Today, even though I refuse to do all the silly gifting, I think about all the loves of my life.

    FYI, that clutch is to die for.

  142. I love my family! They make my world go round!!

  143. My love would do anything and everything for me…and the feeling is mutual. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  144. My mother is one of the sweetest people I know. When I was younger, she used to always have little presents for my younger siblings and me on Valentine’s Day – just to remind us that we’re loved. =)

  145. I NEED this!! Seriously, it’s not a want, it’s a NEED!! And if I am lucky enough to win it, I NEED you to fill it up with those lovely cha cha chocolates you made!! I NEED SOME CHOCOLATE!!

  146. You’re too much…I knew you’d have something absolutely adorable to post today! Loving my sweet boys a little extra today, both young and old.

  147. I love way too many people to name … my kiddos, my husband, my sister, my parents, my brother … family, friends, etc.

    So blessed! (And would be equally blessed to receve this!)

  148. My 5 year old son was so excited this morning to give me the chocolates that he and his dad picked out for me. He Is such a sweet and caring little boy.

  149. Oh my heavens, what a gorgeous bag! You’ve been an inspiration to thousands of people, you know – and we thank you for it! I quit my high-stress advertising job of 32 years at the end of 2010. Mid-2011 my Mother saw an advertisement for cake decorating classes and suggested I take them to pass some time… Now I’m training for my next career! I plan to open a bakery this year, actually. My life is Sweet thanks to Mom, you, SweetSugarBelle, and the ladies of Whimsical Bakehouse. Happy Valentine’s Day to my heroes!

  150. Oh boy do I have a best friend who could really use this for her Valentine!

  151. Cutest idea ever!

    I love my aunty. She took care of me and made plenty of sacrifices. I can never repay her – but I will try. She is my heart.

  152. The purse is so adorable! I do have to say that my husband is the kindest most caring man I know. He does everything he can to make sure I am ok, no matter what, even if it means not spending money so we will have extra while he is gone. In 2 months he will be leaving for 6 months due to the Army and he was not able to get me anything for V-day. If this awesome purse came my way, it would be like a present from him! :)

  153. My mom has always been there for me.

  154. I LOVE the inspiration you send us, Bakerella! You are so sweet to share your treats with us. Thank you.

    I would love to win the Kate Spade clutch for my beautiful friend Reesa. She is a great mother and a wonderful friend — the closest thing to a sister that i have. We now live very far away from each other (I’m in Dallas, she’s in Toronto), but we do our best to stay in touch. She’s giving me the best birthday present ever by coming for a visit next month and it would be so wonderful to surprise her with your “extra” purse.

  155. Since I moved ot Phoenix, I LOVE that my son and his wife and my 5 year old granddaughter ALWAYS invite me to join them for dinner and movies….they take such good care of me!!

  156. I have been eyeing this clutch for quite some time! It’s just so sweet!

    My someone special is my wonderful boyfriend, who provides me with endless supplies of love, encouragement, laughter, motivation, and warm fuzzy feelings.

  157. Thaat purse is adorable! My sweetie is THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER! He gives me flowerrs and kisses constantly! and he always cheers me up!

  158. I love my husband more than puppy breath and he knows how I feel about that!! Love love love the chocolates and the clutch! Happy Valentine’s Day!

  159. On this Valentine’s Day I want to send love, hugs and kisses to my family scattered all over and my husband who is my strength. Forever Yours, I Love You =)

  160. I love my friends and church family who treat me as part of their own families. They bless me and help me feel special even on the days when I don’t.

  161. Men will come & go in my life, but my greatest Valentine always is my lovely daughter. She’s 19 & is way more level-headed than I was at that age & has grown into the most beautiful young woman.

  162. If I tried to draw candy hearts with a toothpick, I think they’d turn out more like pink apples… apples of love.

    My Valentine… he’s sooo patient and kind, like that time I smacked into a tree with his car and freaked out but he just laughed and hugged me until I stopped crying. Plus he’s really ticklish if you know where to poke :)

  163. My love can make me laugh any time of day, no matter what mood I’m in. He is the absolute best.

  164. Love the clutch. Love everything you do. You are such an inspiration!!!

  165. My boyfriend is the sweetest thing in my life!! Since we first started dating, over two years ago, we refer to each other as types of food. For Valentine’s day this year my card said “To my cinnamon jelly bean, Love your frozen banana”. He’s better than chocolate cake!! :)

  166. Love the clutch and the chocolates are just adorable.

    My sweet heart is my 10 year old daughter who helped me make Valentines cake pops for her girl scout meeting treat tonight!

  167. Love the clutch! I’m spending my Valentine’s Day with my two little boys. They are so sweet!!

  168. my best friend is gaga for chocolate AND pinterest- she would be flored if I won and gave this sweet treat to her! She has been such a rock for me the past 6 months- she has been there to lifet me up, offer words of encouragement and bring unexpected treasures to make my day-, I’d love to give her something so sweet that she would love back!

  169. We’d love to Cha Cha away with that clutch. Happy Valentines to everyone!! May your day be filled with candy kisses….and real ones too!!

  170. !!! That is fabulous!!!! I love it!

    I love my husband and children so so much. They are my sweet valentines and I can’t kiss them enough!!

  171. I’ve been doing a lot of work for my husband lately. A couple days ago he called me on the phone just to say thank you. I thought that was really sweet.

  172. I love my family so much. They bring a smile when smiles seem far away and tears of joy when I think of how lucky I am to have them in my life!

  173. Sweetest idea ever! My special friend is also my Valentine Sweetheart ~ my husband! He is my best friend and my rock!! I love him very much! Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!

  174. I would love, love, love to have this clutch for our next date night. My sweet husband and I actually celebrate V-Day on the 15th or 16th when the crowds are smaller and all the chocolate is half price. He just gets me that way. But my sweetest valentine is my little toddler. She makes me smile no matter what day it is.

  175. everything about these Cha Cha chocolates and clutch is fabulous!
    well, my momma bear is someone i love so much. she is always so caring and generous in everything she does.

  176. my valentine this year is my not quite 3 week old daughter and i could never ask for a cuter date! even if she is why i am tired and sore.
    also, it’s my cousin’s birthday and a cuter kid could not have been born on such a sweet day.

  177. My husband made an appt to have my car worked on this morning. I was so annoyed that I would have to sit in the dealership for 3-4 hours while they worked on it…thanks for the Valentine, hubby!

    But then he surprised me by picking me up at the dealership, taking me to breakfast and telling me he took the morning off work so we could run errands and have lunch together before I pick up my car!

    Awww, thanks sweetie!

  178. My husband is the most wonderful guy in the world. I’m so lucky to have him. We’ve been married 16 wonderful years. Have a great Valentine’s Day!

  179. Happy valentine’s day! I love my family – for calling me at 7am to wake me up with Happy Valentines Day wishes!

  180. Adorable purse!

    My husband is amazing! He’s the most patient and disciplined man I know and he always jumps at the chance to serve anyone, especially me. He’s incredibly selfless. :)

  181. Great post. And thanks for the opportunity to brag about having the best husband — In. The. World. Yep, I’m pretty lucky.

  182. Oh My Heavenly Word!!!
    My children are the loves of my life. Just don’t know what I would do without their smiling faces in my life. I’m so blessed to be their mom!
    Please, please, please, please pick me! You have no idea how CHOCOLATE rules my world! Everyone who knows me knows this. I MUST have this purse!!

  183. I would love to have THAT clutch. It’s beautiful! I would make it a part of my Valentine’s Day Outfit every year.

  184. My valentines are my chicklets – two of the most special, precious daughters a mother could ever want.

  185. That clutch is darling. Chocolate and Kate Spade: a deadly combination.

    My husband makes me laugh every day! I am so thankful for the 8 years we’ve been married and I look forward to all the years ahead.

  186. Soooooooooo cute!!! I would love one of these! Assuming I don’t win, where did you get it???

  187. I love you Bakerella!

  188. my special someone is my husband. he hasn’t gotten much sleep over the past week as he works for a start up, and so i at least try to give him as much as i can in the mornings as we have a very needy australian shepherd who is almost a year old. i love him and he is oh so very supportive and just works so darn much so that hopefully (and the future looks good) one day he won’t have to work… or if he does, it’s not for the money :)

  189. My husband is amazing. He loves me even when I haven’t had coffee yet…

  190. What a cute purse and how fun would it be to carry it!

    I am celebrating my second Valentine’s Day with my sweet husband, Patrick. My guy has such a big heart! I love him with all of mine!

  191. The candies and the clutch are so cute! Love all the labels. =)

    I love my wonderful husband who is so good to me. This is our 5th Valentine’s Day together and the years have only gotten better. <3

  192. Love the KS!

    My husband is the most amazing Valentine I could ask for…every day of the year. I can’t imagine life without him.

    Thanks for the great post.

  193. I am marrying the greatest guy in the entire world in just 3 short months!

  194. I love my dear sweet daughters, who are just the absolute light of my life. They make me smile (even when they’re making me CRAZY) daily and everytime I see them do something sweet for the other, my heart just melts. I love them!

  195. My boyfriend is my rock, he’s always supportive and kind and caring.

  196. I love my soldier and my two sons! <3

  197. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! You come up with the CUTEST things! I might make some of these for my sweetheart because he loves me even when the house is a mess because I crafted or baked all day. :)

  198. Those are the cutest little chocolates ever!!
    I have lots of Valentine’s:
    *My husband, with out him my life would be boring and empty. He is my rock, my best friend, and the absolute love of my life.
    *My 12 yr old, she is beautiful, mature, kind, the best big sister any one could ask for. She tells me all the time that she loves me, and that I am the best Mom in the world.
    *My 10 yr old, she marches to a beat of her own, and I love that she isn’t afraid to be weird and laugh at herself. She tells me every morning that she loves me and hopes I have a good day when she gets out of the car at school…no matter who’s around.
    *The “older” 5 yr old, he is the sweetest, cuddliest most affectionate little boy in the world. Always full of hugs.
    *The “younger” 5 yr old, he is just such an awesome kid. He always has a smile on his face, loves to help around the house, loves his Daddy too much for words, and an imagination as big as the sky (he and his brother both do.)

  199. cu-cu-cute!!!!

  200. Love your blog, this included!

    My Best Friend sent me a set of lip gloss from Sephora, my favorite thing. She is so thoughtful! Happy Valentine’s Day :)
