Supplies Needed:

• 1 lb. Merckens dark (MD)
• Squeeze bottle (CK81-5)
• a small cake pan

1. Fill bottom of small cake pan with nonpareils, approx. 1/4" thick.
2. Melt down chocolate either in a microwave, on low heat or on top of a double boiler. Make sure you do not boil the water.
3. Pour chocolate into squeeze bottle.
4. Squeeze small circles on top of nonpareils.
5. Place pan in freezer for 5 minutes.
6. Take pieces out of pan, shake pan gently to spread out nonpareils evenly and squeeze again.

That's it! It is sooo easy!!! And tasty too!

For the bite size heart cakes.
Supplies Needed:

• Bite size heart cake pan. (2105-2588)
• Your favorite chocolate and or vanilla cake.
• Your favorite chocolate and or buttercream icing.
• Decorator tip # 16. (402-16)
• Disposable decorator bags. (AT-460)
• Chocolate. We used white, red, pink and dark chocolate.
• Valentines Day sugar and nonpareils.
• Red, white & pink heart confetti. (CON-HRWP)
• Red heart charm sugar decorations. (L-14364)
• Tiny triple heart icing decoration. (KC-8212)
• Squeeze bottle (CK-81-5)

1. Grease and flour pan or use cooking spray.
2. Bake mini cakes, let cool, before taking out of pan use a serrated knife and cut off mounds. (They will sit flat.)

For decorating them: They are indented a little like a dessert shell so on some of them we used a squeeze bottle and filled in the center with chocolate and then drizzled a different color chocolate on top. Some we filled with chocolate and then let it dry, then sprinkled a little coarse sugar on top. If it's done that way the sugar will only stick to the drizzled area. On others we used the decorator bag with tip # 16 attached and piped icing in the center and then we put sprinkles & confetti's on some, sugar & icing decorations on others.

The fun part is you can use your imagination

and decorate them with different combinations that you like best.
