White Chocolate Candy Valentine Hearts

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I decided to make some simple treats. Two years ago I made a Valentine gingerbread house and used mini candy canes to form hearts around the windows. I thought these would be nice filled with melted white chocolate and scattered with crushed candy canes.  

I added a stick to a few of them to make lollipops....

with some of the leftover white chocolate I made some peppermint jazzles...

All wrapped up in a box lined with tissue paper (I knew that old iphone box would come in useful for something one day!)

Mega Spooky Marshmallows

At 7.30 this morning whilst having my usual mooch around Asda whilst Hanna swam at the leisure centre I spotted these big beauties...

In a sleepy hungry haze I grabbed a pack and put them in my basket.

With 5 minutes of free time between swimming, taxiing, haircuts, shopping and a girl's night out I used a ready made tube of chocolate icing and piped some ghost faces on a few marshmallows.

Simple, yet effective treat for a Halloween party.
