“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.”
― Charles M. Schulz
Hi there,
I am goofy, over the moon in love with my grandchildren. And probably my best way of showing love is to make the object of my devotion something to eat. So, I spent the other morning making white chocolate bark decorated with small little heart jimmies. I found these little Valentine’s mailboxes on Amazon and I am going to fill the mailboxes with the candy and a card. I can’t wait to see their faces. Feel free to copy this idea for your own loved one or ones.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 bag roasted, salted pistachios
- 2, 11 oz bags of Ghiradelli white chocolate chips
- 3, 10 oz bags of Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafters
- 2, 5 oz bags of Mariani dried cherries
- 2, 4oz Ghiradelli white chocolate baking bars
- heat shaped jimmies
Directions:
- using your slow cooker layer:
- chocolate chips followed by
- pistachios then
- white melting wafers then
- dried cherries
- finishing with broken up chocolate baking bars
- put slow cooker on low
- watch carefully and continue to stir until chocolate is melted and ingredients combined
- on a good stretch of nonstick aluminum foil spoon out the mixture to for a rectangle
- sprinkle the jimmies on the candy
- when just about set, score the candy
- when completely set, break into pieces along the scored lines
Special note: this recipe may look a little daunting but it is super easy. I tried to use a heart shaped cookie cutter but it “just didn’t cut it”. If anyone makes this candy into fancy shapes, please let me know.
Love, love, love, Bernadette💕💕💕
Very sweet! Literally!
Thanks for stopping by.
You have some very lucky grandchildren! Looks so yummy!
I am the lucky one. I am restraining myself from showing you loads of pictures😛
Love it! 💕
Grandchildren and love go hand in hand, chocolate doesn’t hurt either!
Nice bloggg
Thanks for the compliment and taking the time to read.
This is lovely, dear Bernadette! Happy Valentine’s!
Thanks so much. It was a fun post and project. Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day.
I love the way you speak of your grandchildren, Bernadette. When I was a little girl (all those years ago), I spent so much time with my grandma, and she was ALWAYS trying to fix me something to eat! <3
This is a fun and simple way to make a bark candy; never would I have thought to do it in a slow cooker!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read. I am an older grandmother on a mission that my grandchildren will remember me.
Nice shhare
