Notes
Tips and tricks
I found that coating the chocolate twice in the silicone heart molds before popping them out worked best, this insured that the edges wouldn’t break while trying to get them out.
If you find that your chocolate sticks to the candy mold, it is usually caused by moisture. If your heart mold is still too warm, you will need to pop it back in the fridge and make sure its cold and hard before you attempt to remove the heart from the mold again. Always clean your molds thoroughly between uses to make sure you don't get any problems the next time you peel the mold from your breakable heart.
You’ll need to work quickly when adding the drizzle and sprinkles on at the end as the chocolate heart has been in the fridge and it will start setting very quickly.
