Recipe: Valentine's Chocolate Heart Cups on a Spoon

Mini Chocolate Heart Cups on a Spoon
INGREDIENTS
- dark chocolate (I used 75g per silicone mould but really, it all depends how large your mould is)
- mini marshmallows

DIRECTIONS
Find gorgeous teaspoons you plan to give to your closed ones as Valentine's Day gift. Next, find silicone heart-shaped mini cake moulds.

Break the chocolate up into pieces, and fill your silicone mould with it until it's almost full, but not with chocolate poking out over the sides.

Place chocolate filled silicone thing into the microwave on the outside of the spinning plate, and cook on high for about 40 seconds. Do keep watching it as all microwaves are different in power, and you don't want to end up with burnt chocolate.

Open the microwave and have a little poke about with a wooden toothpick. If the chocolate has melted down and left room for more chocolate, then add some more, and give it another 30 second blast.

Repeat the step in the paragraph above until the mould is full yet with about 3mm at the top of the mould free of chocolate.

Carefully remove the little silicone mould from the microwave — remember it could easily wobble and spill your molten chocolate. Leave on a plate, chocolate still in mould, to cool slightly.

When the chocolate is starting to re-set, pop your teaspoon into the middle of it and leave to fully cool and set at a 90 degree angle. If it's solid enough at this point then you won't have to hold the teaspoon up.

Pop some little marshmallows onto the top of the almost set chocolate. Leave to completely set until rock solid, at room temperature. Then remove from the silicone mould and wrap in cellophane packaging.

Write a little label with the suggestion that a gift receiver swirls the chocolate on a spoon in scalding milk until dissolved, and then drink until feeling very content.
