Cha Cha Chocolate

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a super last minute idea or more likely – an early idea for next year. Just something quick and cute.

And if you don’t need any treats, you might want to mosey on down towards the middle of this post.

I made little heart chocolates. Hi.

IMG_6110

And packaged them up like tiny candy bars. Too cute. And thanks for reading.

This is super easy. You’ll need a candy mold though. The product number is in the photo below if you want to search for it. I found mine at Cake Art. The squares are 1.25 inch.

And because I have a mini candy coating store growing in my kitchen, I decided to use some of it up for these.

Melt pink candy coating and then using a toothpick, draw heart shapes in the cavity of the candy molds. Let it dry and then pour melted chocolate candy coating over the top. Mercken’s is what I used for these. Fill the cavity enough so it reaches the corners without overflowing and then tap the mold on the counter to settle and even out the coating. Repeat with the remaining cavities. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set and then pop them right out of the mold and place on wax paper. Repeat and repeat until you have what you need.

Of course, you make these even easier and unwrap existing candy bars to use.

Now the fun part. I had these pink foil wrappers that were lonely and waiting to cuddle something. They were really too big for the bars I made so I cut them in half.

Lay the chocolate on the wrapper, fold the two short pieces first and then the long ones.

The foil is super thin so you can press it pretty flat.

These are also fun to wrap up your cake pops if you do simple decorations.

After your bars are all wrapped in foil, you can add paper wrappers.

I created these with different sayings.

Even one for the pinterest lovers out there.

Here’s a pdf if you want it.

IMG_6104

Making your own wrappers is a cute gift or favor idea. Use the same process and create your own wrappers for your theme. You can turn any candy bar into something a little more special.

But now let me tell you why I really made these.

I bought something for myself a few weeks ago that I thought was the cutest thing ever.

Or at least the cutest thing that week.

It was on sale thank goodness. Wanna see?

It goes with the theme so far.

And it’s really what inspired these tiny wrapped chocolate bars.

But this chocolate is a little bit bigger.

And sassier.

The good thing is it won’t melt in my hands.

Check it out. A Cha Cha Chocolate Clutch.

IMG_5896

From Kate Spade.

Loving the label.

IMG_5917

And look at the chocolate candy clasp.

I die.

IMG_5926

And the inside lining. So cute.

IMG_5922

It’s pretty big, too. Actually it’s a really big clutch.

IMG_6184

Big enough to carry all my cha cha chocolates.

IMG_5944

Thankfully it has a chain strap, too.

IMG_6163

And yes, I couldn’t help but make little Cha Cha labels. It’s just too much fun to say.

But I haven’t mentioned the best part about this bag. It turns out I didn’t just buy one.

Yep. Right now I have one for each hand and that just looks plain silly.

  1. My valentine was a cake pop :)

  2. I absolutely love this chocolate idea!! Super adorable.

    My husband is a sweet guy. I told him not to buy me anything for Valentine’s Day because we have 3 little girls and money is kind of tight. When you have kids, everything becomes about them anyways. But he still surprised me with some beautiful red tulips. They were such a surprise!

    Thanks for the contest!
    Jen

  3. My husband is the sweetest person in my life. Even though he wasn’t too excited about it, he took me to see “The Vow”, he gives the best foot massages and I knew that he liked me when he shared his chocolate with me.

  4. Someone i love- MY MOMMA! she watches my two little boys twice a week for me while i’m at work. She is their world and they cry everytime she leaves. She’s goofy, fun, loving and extremely thoughtful. When I get home from work, she’s not only made me dinner- but she’s done all the laundry TOO!! She’s amazing.

  5. My girlfriends are just the sweetest girls in the world and they were the absolute best valentines this year!!! Also, this purse is just so cute and I lovvve your chocolate ideas, I think I’ll do it for St. Patrick’s day!

  6. Oh, I just love those chocolates. Definitely an idea for next year.

    My special person is my hubby, who’s so full of love and support, even when I’m being completely neurotic and insane. You know you’ve found someone special when they can make you laugh when you don’t even feel like smiling.

  7. My son is the sweetest Valentine ever! He covers me in hugs and kisses and makes me beautiful and unique artwork.

  8. Would love to win that clutch.

    My special someone is hard to pick so I will pick “my boys”. This includes my husband, my 5 year old, and my 2 year old. Without them I would have no purpose in my life and nothing to live for. I love them immensely and can’t wait to see their happy faces each day.

  9. Pretty! I want one!

  10. So cute! My boyfriend is amazing. He knows everything about me and is just the biggest sweetheart. He even knows how I’m felling all the time and if I need anything without having to say anything. We’ve been together since we were 13 and valentines day made six years and 4 months exactly. He lights up my world in ways that I can’t even begin to describe!!

  11. Those chocolates are too cool!
    My special valentine is my mom. She’s always there for me, and keeps my spirit up with her love and support.

  12. i love my family!!
    and love your ideas bakerella!

  13. LOVE the chocolates!!!

    Someone special that I love is my 11 year old daughter who never ceases to amaze me. She is so kind, generous and thoughtful. She makes me so proud!

  14. The only thing I love more than chocolate is chocolate with cute chocolate wrappers!

    My husband is my Valentine :) He is the hardest worker and I am the luckiest girl in the world.

  15. I got a valentine from my dad. It was the sweetest thing!

  16. Your chocolates and that clutch are ridiculously cute…just like my hubby ;)

  17. I love your site and everything you make!! I also love my mommy because she is so wonderful with helping me out with my 3 daughters whenever we are running in too many different directions. I couldn’t do it without her.

  18. i love my hand mixer (HAHA!). without her, i cant bake any cake or cookies

  19. That clutch is THE. CUTEST.

    My special someone is my fiance! He’s the sweetest, most patient person I’ve ever met. (and trust me, you need to be patient to deal with me sometimes haha) I’m a lucky girl!

  20. I love my best friend, she’s the frosting to my cupcake, the jelly to my peanut butter. She’s the greatest gal I know and I’m lucky she’s in my life.

  21. I love the candy and the clutch is adorable! My valentine is my amazing husband and I had a special valentines Day dinner with he and our wonderful son while visiting him at college…I wouldn’t want it any other way!

  22. Love this idea!

    Have to send love to my husband. He is an amazing man and a great father and I feel so blessed to have him as my valentine for many years to come!

  23. OHH!! I love it! Chocolates are my thang!

  24. That is so cute! My special person is my husband. Valentines Day is our anniversary (9 years!) and I feel so blessed to have such a kind, funny, handsome, and supportive man to call my own.

  25. those chocolates are absolutely adorable! (:

    i love my family more than anything in the world.

  26. Those are so sweet and so is that clutch!

    My Valentine was my boyfriend. He’s the sweetest person on the planet. He keeps me grounded when I think the world is ending, he makes me tea, and tucks me in at night. I don’t know what I’d do without him.

  27. I love purses!!!!!

  28. My 2 kiddos are the sweetest, valentines I could ever ask for. My husband isn’t so bad himself ;)

  29. I love love love that purse!!

    My daughter is the sweetest Valentine that I ever had! She’s 5 month old, and has started trying to give me kisses. She leans towards me with her drool-y mouth open wide and happily slops drool all over my face. She’s sick, and I would give anything to have one of her drool-y, opened mouthed kisses right now. I’m a first time mom just realizing how cruel it is to be healthy when your sweet little princess is sick.

  30. Love the little chocolates, actually I love any chocolates. My sweet husband (my valentine for over 40 years) wrote a love note and left it with a bit of chocloate beside my morning coffee.

  31. I am home making cake pops with my little guy today and he is the sweetest thing in the world to me! What a delicious little clutch! Thanks so much for the chance to win something so fabulous !

  32. I do not usually like clutches, but this is so playful! The cute labels for the chocolates make a nice finishing touch.

  33. I love this idea I am going to have to try it out! I am a preschool teacher and I have recently started making cake pops. The children in my room and my coworkers just LOVE them! They beg me to make them all the time and I use every excuse that I can to listen! I love the children in my room. Although they can be difficult sometimes they can always brighten my day with hugs and by saying “I love you Ms. Ellen”.

  34. My sister has such a busy, difficult life, but always manages to make time for family. Love that! (She was also the one who bought me my very first kate spade purse at the kate spade outlet. Love that too!)

  35. Happiness is …. Having a husband who tells me I’m beautiful every day!

    Happiness is … Having 3 beautiful boys who luv their momma!!

    Happiness is … Chocolate!

    Happiness is …. All the wonderful things that Bakerella does with Chocolate!

    Happiness is … YOU! Thanks for all you do for us! You are so very special!

    Happy Heart Day to you!

  36. Love chocolate and LOVE the purse!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s easy to say something about the one I Love, my husband. We’ve known each other all our life, our birthdays are just ten days apart and he kissed me in grade 1, we know everything about each other and can’t imagine a better friend.

  37. I just love your brilliant ideas! These are too cute.

    My special someone is my husband who works 7days a week – day and night to support my 2yr old and I. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband. We love him so much!

  38. Oh that is too cute!

    So something sweet about someone I love…there’s a special someone in my life who is the kindest most caring soul I’ve even known and I love her for it.

  39. I have the best husband in the world. This was our 14th Valentine’s Day together and I love him more now than ever. He is kind, and generous, patient and funny….but best of all he speaks the same language as I do….CARBS! He eats all my baking without complaint, and luckily he has the metabolism of a 14 year old boy, so he keeps his svelte figure! :)

  40. I usually don’t really make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day in my house but while my husband was a non chalant about the whole thing my 3 year old turned it into a birthday celebration (his was in January) and with each piece of candy he opened he sang “Happy Birthday To Me!” Everyone person he saw he told them it was his birthday and so had lots of birthday wishes on Valentine’s Day. I thought it was precious so allowed him more candy than I normally would have. How can you resist a child making the most of a really fun day!

  41. I clutch is super cute! And love the chocolate idea. I have to try it! My husband is my special Valentine. He’s my rock and someone I can be totally myself around.

  42. Its very seldom you find your equal and I have been blessed to have found mine. I got engaged everyone :) I am very excited and very blessed. I love my fiance with every piece of my heart and wouldnt trade this love in for the world. Happy Vday season:)

  43. mom, you are my pillar and my guide. love you so much. :D

  44. I want to tell everyone how sweet and unselfish my 11 year old twin daughters are. On Valentines Morgan spent her own money on mommy, buying me a rose and chocolates. The other twin, Olivia, bought a huge bouquet of carnations and divided them between each grandma. They are the sweetest valentines that me and daddy could ever have.

  45. I love my family and friends of course, but my new love this year is for my zumba family! :) Not sure what I did before meeting those great, supportive, lovely instructors! I am truly blessed.

  46. My someone special is my grandmom. On Saturday we will be celebrating her 85th birthday. I feel so honored and lucky to have her in my life, as all of my other grandparents have passed away. She has always been my rock, my biggest cheerleader and motivator, my confidant and my friend. The love I have for her is hard to define because it is so strong. Since I know she won’t be here forever, I make sure to spend a lot of time with her and treasure every moment we have together. <3

  47. This year my valenties were my parents. I recently had surgery and they have been there everyday to give me the best care and support! I love you Mommy and Daddy!

  48. my valentine, I don’t have a valentine, the boy I love doesn’t even know me.

    But there is this girl that is here for me no matter what. She helps me through rough times, me cry together en smile together.

    She’s my best friend, and she will be for ever, no matter what.

    I Love You! xxx.

  49. oh please pick me! So happy you are feeling great these days!

  50. That clutch is simply amazing. Someone I love is my brother. We’ve gotten closer in the past few years, and I can’t imagine life without him.

  51. My boyfriend Dan is the sweetest treat I know! He works hard serving selflessly in the infantry. Even though we were apart for valentine’s day we were together in heart!

  52. My family are the best valentine’s. I am very lucky to have a great husband and three wonderful girls.

  53. My special someone is my boyfriend – we’ve been together 5 years and he is my best friend. We make a great team, no matter what we’re doing, and I can’t imagine being without him.

  54. i have two valentines this year, my boys, and i love them more then words could ever say

  55. This idea is absolutely adorable! My mother would love this. She is absolutely in love with anything and everything chocolate! She is the most amazing woman I know, and no matter how old I get I will always remember her leaving chocolate on my pillow on Valentine’s Day morning! She’s the best!

  56. he’s amazing. that’s the only word i need to use to describe him! :) those chocolates are adorable, nice job!

  57. Cute chocolates!!! My daughter is my Valentine this year! She’s my one & only child & I lover her to bits!! BTW she LOVES your Oreo Truffles!!!

  58. My special someone is my Annoying, Funny, Sometimes-i-hate-the-most, Loving, Crazy Boyfriend. I just need him every single day even when sometimes i ask myself why the hell did i gave him my number 5 years ago.
    I just want to hold his hand and walk down the aisle together one day. We’ll make it work! <3
    Happy Valentines Day world!

  59. Can’t wait to meet my newest niece in March! =)

  60. I love my boyfriend…after many years together he continues to surprise me..he’s all I wanted in my l life. And he know how much love sweets….so, a little cake also for me during this Valentine’s day ;)

    You’re the best bakerella, this is my first comment here but your cakepops and more are famous also here in Italy ;) Fantastic ! <3

  61. My Valentine this year is my sister. She is alwasy there for me and has givin me so much.

  62. I have 3 Valentine’s.. My loving husband and my sweet girls! they mean to worls to me.
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  63. Gorgeous bag and lovely chocolates. My boys are so special to me. I love how they make my heart smile each time I look at them. I am truly blessed!

  64. I am now blessed with two Valentines, my 2 yr old son and my boyfriend! We all love chocolate and valentines day was a perfect day to eat it all. But these boys are my world and make it colorful and unpredicatable. And that clutch would look good on me especially the chocolate

  65. My boys smell like youth, I love that.

  66. I love my mum. Every single time she hugs me, I feel like I can take on the world.

  67. I would have to talk about my 10 month old son! He is the sweetest, happiest boy in the world! He loves to give me hugs and these big open mouthed kisses <3

  68. Something sweet about someone I love.

    My fiance. Sappy, I know. We’re in the midst of wedding planning, house purchasing, and house remodelling and he is cool as a cucumber. I love every minute I have with him and this adventure we’re on (called life). He puts up with my crazy need to bake and cook and is willing to help me by creating an amazing kitchen in our new home. :)

  69. My sweetie is my high school sweetheart. We have been married for almost 26 years!

  70. My son and daughter made homemade valentine’s for me (as they do every year) but this year’s were exceptionally thoughtful. They are amazing and my greatest blessings.

  71. I love and appreciate my husband. He is fun and funny. He is smart, but doesn’t want people to know it. He’s so very, very good to me, and I am thankful.

  72. Hi Bakerella, I LOVE this post because I love to make candy wrappers for my familys special occasions.That purse is so my personality! Thanks for the pdf of your sweet wrappers! I have a very special grandson that fills my heart with love. He is our litle miracle baby. Reading your blog gives me a few minutes of creative fun to take away the stress of everyday life.

  73. I have an awesome girlfriend, I spent Valentine’s Day in the army, and didnt managed to get her anything either.. she’d love this so much!

  74. My husband and 4 yr old daughter hold my heart and fill my soul with happiness & love. I’m also blessed with wonderful parents and in-laws that I wouldn’t trade for all of the chocolate in the world! <3

  75. I’ve got two really awesome roommates that have made me really happy to have such fantastic friends. I rather love living with them right now :D

  76. I have the bestest friend in the world, she’s all you can find in a friend, though we have went to different institution for furthering of studies now, i know she’ll still be there for me whenever.

  77. Those chocolates look so professional (and my daughter would love them! )
    And the giveaway is so generous – sweet like your too cute chocolates!

  78. Amazing! Valentine’s day always makes me think of my best friend. When we were younger we gave each other valentines so no one would be lonely on Valentine’s day. Now that we’re older, we just use it as an excuse to act like we’re 12 and make up ridiculous gifts. Every year I send her flowers and every year she sends me something red or pink (I got reusable grocery bags this year). It’s a fun tradition.

  79. I love this! I love my grandma, she’s my favorite baking buddy and supports mt habits haha

  80. I love my best friend, Trudi. Although we’ve both moved away, it’s always a joy to see her, she’s patient, kind and is always thinking of others. She’s a dab hand when it comes to making cakes too!

  81. my hubbie and son remind me daily how much iam loved, they are the love of my life. every day gets better and sweeter!!!

  82. I love my kids. At 24, 28, and 30 years old, they are my best friends and even greater than that…they are each other’s best friends. They have big hearts, and funny senses of humor and I can’t imagine life without them. Loves All Around!!!!!!!!!! : )

  83. My daughter is the sweetest girl in the world! She surprised me with flowers, a beautiful card, dark chocolate and a bottle of Tawny Port, which I love.

  84. My lovely Valentine brought me sea-salt caramels… the only thing in the world better than chocolate or a purse! He’s such a doll!

  85. This is gonna be cliche, but yea i love my mum. Though she does posesses some annoying qualities like loads of mums, but who can forget her love, her care and the way she raised me up, away from harm’s way every possible time. Though i went through the usual rebellious age, she never turns me away.

    I love my mum. :)

  86. Great giveaway and I love the little chocolates! My husband makes me feel so loved every day. He’s just wonderful. :)

  87. My sister fills my heart with hope, love, and happiness. She is my rock, mentor, and best friend. She has taken care of me my entire life, and I love her more than words can say. Her soul defines sweetness, goodness, faithfulness, and Christlikeness. I would have been in the ground long ago if it weren’t for her love and support.

  88. Love the chocolates (and the chocolate bag–adorable)!

    My Valentine’s Day shout-out goes to my sister, who’s always there for me.

  89. Love the candy bars and the bag. My husband is my forever sweetie, with my daughters in second place!

  90. The pink hearts make the chocolates so cute! This was a very special Valentine’s Day for me and it was the first as a newly-wed. I love my husband very much..I can’t wait to make him these.

  91. Cool! My family is very sweet to me because they provide me with a home and love all year round!

  92. I love my husband more now after 21 years than when we first met. We have been through the ringer, but it proves that if you stick it out and try, love does win. My four beautiful children come in at a very close second. They are my joy.

  93. I met my sweetheart almost 2 years ago. I didn’t think I’d ever love again after some really bad times. I’m mobility disabled, riddled with arthritis at 30, when my sweetheart added me as a friend on Facebook. We used to go to nursery together, then primary school and even high school! We met up soon after in person and had an amazing first date, there was even sparks in the sky (rare lightning out of nowhere). The rest is history. I’m so happy to have met the one who is willing to love and physically care for me and my 3 children when I’m unable to, he’s such a rare, wonderful, find and I’ll cherish him, always!

    Thanks for running this competition and the chance to win. I about died when I saw that clutch. I want it, I need it, hehe. The candies you made are amazing. I have to make these for my sweetie. Great post as always.

    Thanks for sharing,
    -Lisa.

  94. I´d like to thank my sweetest bakerella for the sweetest inspriations ever <3

    It was time to say that!

  95. My sweet valentine bought me a suitcase. Ha! No, really, he did. I needed a new one for a business trip and he got me a pretty fantastic one. Love him!

  96. Luv the chocolates…. yum!

    My special someone is my best friend, without her i would be lost. Thanks for all the support and i hope that our paths don’t ever seperate us… xxx

  97. I love my family – sweetest Valentines anyone could have!

  98. I love my husband more today because of the wonderful father he has become to our to crazy little girls!

  99. This is in honor of my sweet friend Hannah. 8 years ago you were my valentines date when we were Aupairs in colorado.
    I love you more then you know. and one of the happiest day was when we became sister in Christ about 4 years ago. I love watching you grow more and more into the woman God designed you to be and i can’t wait to discover what this life holds for us and our friendship in the future!

  100. So stinking cute! Love the chocolates! I. Love my family – my husband, new son and bunny. They are always there for me and love to make me laugh. :)

  101. My husband is just as sweet as chocolates – he tastes the milk for me every morning before I have it on my cereal cause I really hate sour milk! He is the absolute best!!!

  102. What an adorable gift idea. Plus a clutch thats good enough to eat! I always think about my Mum on Valentines day – she’s worked so hard to make me and my brother who we are and she deserves so much thanks every day of the year, not just one.

  103. such a great idea making making your own chocolate!

    my special someone is my sister who is 2 years younger than me. i’m amused how she always has to consult with me for anything she does with her life – from what she should have for lunch right down to what colour she should paint her room. Regardless i love her cause without her i’d have no logic fibre in my system.

    happy valentine’s day bakerella! thanks always for a great post!

  104. Hey bakerella, I love your website and I love these chocolates x it’s amazing, you inspired me to make cake pops and now I do them for the bake sales at my school and all my friends love them x my lovers are cake pops, I hope they love me to x

  105. How cute! My husband is amazing….well most of the time. When I was in the hospital this past year he really stepped up and took over the care of our 5 year old daughter. My friends and family said he looked like a fish outa water but he did it! I am so grateful to have him in my life!

  106. I love chocolate! These mini chocolates are so cute =D

  107. I have a friend who’s really an amazing person. She deserves only good things coming her way. Unfortunately her father has fallen seriously ill (yes, cancer) and has been rushed of to the hospital twice in the last month. I am definitely going to make her these chocolates! Who needs it more than she does, right :)

  108. My sweetie gave me a chocolate bar for valentine’s (along with planning a very special day). Maybe I should make these for him, he always appreciates when I make things for him.

    Beautiful clutch! I adore the inspired candy wrappers.

  109. My husband and I laugh at the same jokes.

  110. My mom is the sweetest person I know. Everyone says they have the best mom, but I know I do, she’s just the best!!!

  111. I have been wondering about life’s essentials. Really what is essential? I think it all comes down to two hands.
    That is perhaps all we need. Two hands to embrace us, to hold us, to make us feel loved.
    Or perhaps its just me, being in my own world, since I am in love , you know this place where you do not actually walk on earth you are just a few inches above ground… I have the butterflies in my stomach feeling etc.
    I hope you all have two hands to hold you…

  112. Just lovely!!!! My husband and children are my valentines!

  113. I love my amazing hubby and babies!!

  114. My boyfriend had two dozen red roses sent to my office on Valentine’s day this week – the first time anyone has ever done that for me! And you know what? I was out sick that day!! So I got the flowers a day late. I felt so bad as he’d gone to so much effort! But I did take him on a chocolate making workshop at a chocolate-themed hotel at the weekend :-)

  115. I love how sweet my kids have been leaving little notes, treats and surprises for each other in our valentine mailboxes this month

  116. Oh my…3,673 Comments! I would love to share a purse like that with my sister. We’re so far away from each other, but she always has my back.

  117. My mother is a beautiful woman inside and out.

  118. My someone special is my wonderful husband. After 17 yrs of marriage and three great kids later, he still gives me that same tingling feeling inside that he gave me when we first started dating. I love him for that.

  119. Someone I love… is my boyfriend. As cliche as it sounds, we live almost an hour away from each other, and only see each other once a week. Despite the distance, we do our best to talk to each other everyday… whether it is by phone, FaceTime, or by chatting online! I’ll admit it DOES get tough sometimes, but we are doing the best we can because we love each other and won’t give up on each other. Valentine’s Day a few years ago was our very first date, and this year… we celebrated our fifth Valentine’s Day together!

  120. Cutest clutch ever!

    Spent Valentine’s Day with my two most favorite people in the world…my daughters. Blessed to be their mother.

  121. I love that my boyfriend never raises his voice on me no matter how upset he is. And through the obstacles we’ve experienced, he will do whatever it takes to make it all better.

  122. This is amazing – the chocolates you made look so good and the clutch is gorgeous! I love my nephew so much. I have 4 and I love them all, but I held this one in my arms right after he was born and he’s the sweetest ever. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

  123. My morning coffee tastes so much sweeter when my darling husband delivers it to me while I lounge for a few minutes in bed.

  124. My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. This week I went to a conference, and there was a “yoga in the workplace” session, which was basically a short yoga class. When the teacher said “think of a beautiful place that makes you feel good, like a mountain or the beach”, my boyfriend’s face popped into my head and I started smiling :)

  125. so loveeeeeeeelllyyy!!!!!

  126. My daughter has the prettiest hazel eyes. They are the same color as her hair and I love to look at them. :)

  127. I love my best friend because she is amazing and we can laugh for hours on end, but they aren’t afraid to cry around me if it’s been a tough day. :)

  128. My special someone is my husband. The love of my life, married for 18 years and I still get butterflies in my stomach when he holds my hand.

  129. I absolutely adore my boyfriend. Before we were in a relationship, we were very good friends. We would talk to each other every almost every day and had the silliest conversations. I love how he makes me laugh and smile and loves me and how I can just talk to him about anything. He is one of my greatest friends and I would do anything to make him happy!

  130. My hubby loves me….proof is that he drove an hour each way to buy me cupcakes from my favorite place on V day!

  131. Loving it! My husband is the sweetest thing, so sweet that i can just about forgive him for going to Italy to watch a football match on Feb 14th!!!

  132. The eyes smileing of my two baby girls is the perfect gifth! :D I love them :) they are the perfect valentine’s! :D

  133. My daughter is love :)

  134. I want to say that my hubby is the sweetest because when I made my first batch of cake pops (thanks for the inspiration, Bakerella!), he fell in love with them. Now when I make new batches of pops, he shows them off to his coworkers and always posts pictures of them on Facebook. :-) He’s the biggest fan of my baking. And I’m nowhere in the same league of some of you great bakers out there. LOL What a great Valentine, eh?

  135. LOVED this idea, and LOVED this bag!

    My Valentine this year was my baby girl, Gabriella, who is just the most scrumptious baby! She is the epitome of all that is good in this world and every day that I am blessed with being her mother is completely humbling, as I could have never done anything to deserve her. She is truly a grace from God.

    …That said, I need to ditch this diaper bag…

  136. This sweetness goes out to my boyfriend of three years. He’s really someone special. <3

  137. This year my someone I love is my Mom. She bought me an adorable new purse and matching shoes from my favorite store just because and today when I got sick she made me a giant pot of cheese potato soup to make me feel better. Thanks for still treating me like I’m 5 when I need a pick-me-up Mom, sometimes being a 5 year old is the greatest feeling in the world.

  138. OOOOOOOHHHHHHH
    MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    GOOOOODDDNNESSSSSSSSS What a beautiful Valentines Day idea :)
    Yummy yummy just like my special man friend whose been very patient and lovely while I’ve been recovering from having my wisdom teeth out :) I look like I’m storing nuts for the winter but he’s been lovingly feeding me soft foods xxx

  139. I love my mom and dad because their the kindest, sweetest, and generous people I know. I just love them to death! <3

  140. I love my sweet daughter! She makes me smile every day :)

  141. This is so fantastic! Adore the chocolates. And that bag is abfab!

    Someone I love: my mom. Seriously one of the sweetest human beings on the face of the planet. I’m so blessed to have her as my mom.

  142. My mom always listens whenever I have problems, and if I’m hungry she’ll always bring me lunch!

  143. Love those!

    I think my special someone is my dad- he is motivating to me as well as not being too harsh with what he says as to not hurt my feelings, and I admire that. I used to hate my dad when I was younger and now we get along very well.

  144. SO CUTE! I have the 3 sweetest valentines…My Hubby and my two sweeter than sweet daughters, ages 4 and 2… their hugs and kisses make my day everyday, not just on valentine’s! <3

  145. I’m going to tell the guy I love that I love him tomorrow…right now, he doesn’t know (yet) :(

  146. Soooo cute!!! My 3-year-old boy is so sweet. H calls his little sister Baby Doll sometimes, and I love it! They also dance together and say they are a prince and princess. :)

  147. I don’t know how you keep coming up with these sweet ideas but I LOVE THEM, must make them for next year!

  148. I’m a sucker for cute wrapping… those chocolates arejust adorable. And so funny that you posted this clutch, because my friend and I were looking at Kate Spade clutches the other day and lamenting over their cost.

    I don’t have a significant other, but there’s still plenty of love in my life. My mom and dad always come to mind first. They will always be my best Valentines.

  149. I love how my husband walks hand in hand with my son like they are the same height. Only my son is 17 months old. Melts a momma’s heart!

    I also love that Bakerella is doing much better health wise…we were all worried about you & praying for you!

  150. My husband made me a handmade card this year! Oh and dinner too :D :D

  151. My two sisters are the ones I always turn to. They are the best.

  152. My husband’s laughter is one of the many things I love about him. Laughter and humor are some of the most attractives things in all individuals and I always LOVE to have a great laugh with my husband.

  153. My valentine is the best friend ever! If I won the contest I would give this clutch to her as a belated V-day present :))

  154. The clutch looks adorable…( that i could eat in two bites)

    My Long time boyfriend Adam is on his first deployment so there fore I was alone with a tub of coffee ice cream on valentines day… we exchanged poems : Roses are red, violets are blue, i love you more than red velvet cake!
    I can only imagine the feeling military families go through !

  155. this is such a cute idea! My mom would always be my valentine because I love her so much!
    But I would make these chocolates and give them out to friends anyday just to say how special they are.

  156. Just met a new boy who’s absolutely sweet and that I think is adorable :D

  157. He is himself which is why I love him so much. Knowing and accepting all of the flaws each of us has is why we work and I can think of no one else I would rather be with…not even Johnny Depp.

  158. I absolutely love the cha cha chocolate clutch by kate spade, 80% charming and 20% rebellious, because everyone knows girls arent just made up of sugar spice and everything nice :)

    even though it isnt valentines day, a lot of love goes out to my parents. being away from home for college they have never been more supportive, helpful and encouraging. I know that even if I’m a few states away they’re only a phone call, plane or car ride from anything I could ever need. family is always your first love and never fails.

  159. Love the cluth, and the tiny chocolate!!! Rally cool way to say I love you to your close ones, I have no boyfriend right now, but I just love my oh-so-cute-for-words friends and family

  160. LOVE the clutch! My special someone is my hubby of nearly 10 years! Love him to bits.

  161. I have only been with my boyfriend for a few months, but I know he has the best heart I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have fun with him like no other and he’s the only person I want to have a load of adventures with. He’s been in Europe for a while for his job and he’s bringing me back quite a bit of chocolate. What can I say? He’s definitely a keeper!

  162. Oh wow, now THAT is an awesome clutch. I mean, WOW! I can honestly say I am quite envious. Well, on to the giveaway. My hubby is so sweet. We’ve been sick for days (I mean, never get out of bed unless it’s to the bathroom sick). It’s been horrible. Yet he still managed to get up sometime while I was sleeping and order some chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s day. He’s so sweet. Well, if I ever had to pick someone to be sick with, it’d be him. :)

  163. My wife would adore the clutch…I was waiting for a price and place to buy one, and was disappointed there was none, but to win one for her would be amazing. I m very lucky to have her in my life, and I would be lost without her.

  164. My friend Rick has been a great help to me this past year. I have needed to be dropped at the hospital and picked up for two surgeries. It has been a blessing to have his help.

  165. The clutch is so cute! I would love to show it off! The person I love is my father, who supports my every decision and guides me in the right direction. He is willing to do anything to help me out. He is the best dad a daughter could ask for!

  166. I had a very rough day at work on Valentines Day, and instead of insisting we do what he’d planned (dinner and a movie), he spent the whole night cuddling me.

    Pizza and cuddles rather than dinner out and a movie I couldn’t concentrate on because of the day.

    Yup, he’s a keeper!

  167. What I love most about someone, or the 2 someones I love most is that they are compassionate men. I am proud to have raised my sons as compassionate men!! The world needs more of them, so this makes me proud. xxoo

  168. What I love most about someone, or the 2 someones I love most is that they are compassionate men. I am proud to have raised my sons as compassionate men!! The world needs more of them, so this makes me proud. xxoo

  176. One of my favorite quotes by Dr. Seuss. This goes to all my family, friends, and favorite blogs:

    “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

  177. Dear Bakerella,
    It was so very “sweet” of you to offer to share the cutest little clutch ever! My mom has been my rock for the past 62 years…she is always there for me and my family. She is a very special Valentine to us all!

  178. I’m so proud of my beautiful children! Both are loving and smart. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  179. I love Kate Spade, but I love Bakerella more! You are so creative and out of the box. Thanks for sharing all your inspirations!
    I really love my husband and children. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  180. My mom who always makes it a point to make my day special.

  181. Those chocolates are so cute! I’ll have to bust out my chocolate molds and make some soon.

    My boyfriend is also my best friend and I’ve never met a kinder, more generous soul. Things in my life have been trying lately and he’s been going above and beyond to make me feel better. I’m lucky to have someone like him.

  182. Love the clutch and LOVE my sis! She is my best friend!

  183. This purse is adorable! It’s the perfect chocolate fix for dieters :)

    My sister is a great Valentine. She always sends me surprise emails with cute little links that brighten up my day.

  184. My hubby and 3 kiddos…without them I don’t know what my life would be like! He gave me my greatest blessings…they call me mom!!!

  185. There’s a new guy in my life… and I think he could be THE ONE. :-) Chachacha. :-)

  186. My boyfriend of five years always knows just how to make me smile!! :)

  187. My Valentine just surprised be for the first time we have been together. He is the most selfless person I know and his big smile is the happiest place I have known.

  188. I would have to say that my son is the best son in the world. He is such a kind little guy, who loves his little sister beyond belief. He is her hero. I love that more then anything.

  189. My husband still makes my heart skip a beat when I see him. 8 years later – we made it past the 7 year itch (yay!) should I have stopped at skipped a beat? haha thank you for this giveaway

  190. My family. They help out while I go to school and they have been so supportive. I couldn’t do it without them.

  191. oooh! It is so cute. Love, love, love it. Will have to share with my teen <3

  192. I love my husband. Not only is he a great dad to my 4 kids, but he is my best friend!!

  193. My puppy was a pretty good valentine this year since my husband was out of town. He took me to McDonalds and even let me watch the sappy movies I wanted to watch :)

  194. My family is so supportive me through the good times and the bad. I love them with all my heart. No matter how stressed I can get, they will always make me feel better.

  195. I love love love this giveaway!!!! My husband is my rock. I don’t know what I’d do without him. He is always so supportive in everything that I do and gladly puts up with my crazy family. haha

  196. Such a lovely, creative purse. So whimsical and sassy! I love the clasp!

    My Valentine is my husband of 42 years. Even after all this time, I get the same rush when I see him at a distance and that little area below my belly button always flutters. If you’ve ever really been in love, you know the feeling I’m describing. He’s what keeps the “beat” in my heartbeat!

  197. Love Love Love your Blog! Just started following it and have already gotten super excited about a ton of your ideas! These will be made for my son’s Birthday party I think!
    The special person who I love is my sister. She was a surprise when I was 11 and my parents had given up (but I hadn’t) She saved me when I was going through a rough time and making poor choices. Because I wanted to be a good influence for her I straightened up! Maybe she and I could make cake balls together! She is about to turn 18, how fun for her party???!!! :)

  198. My two boys! They fill my heart with joy and laughter. I can’t imagine life without them.
