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 fiancee is just the sweetest! He always has the perfect thing to say be it a kind compliment or a funny joke to cheer me up!

  2. OOOOOHHHHHH! My super wonderful daughter would absolutely love this little valentine gift!! I would have snatched it up if I had seen it! She is probably only 1% rebellious to her parents, which is hard to find in a 16 year old girl! She is fabulous and I love and appreciate her!

  3. That clutch is adorable! My aunt is a baker as well. I followed in her footsteps as a nurse and in baking. She’s been a big inspiration in my life, because she’s such a strong woman. Everything she has thrown at her, she seems to overcome. She’s a breast cancer survivor. She now has Multiple sclerosis, but she doesn’t let it get her down and usually showers me with baked treats when I give her her monthly shots. I hope I can be as strong in my life as this lady I love.

  4. I love my family (:

  5. I’m not sure if I’m in time…but I love that bag. Adorable! I have a too-sweet husband who loves me despite my many blonde moments. :)

  6. Love this!

  7. oooohh! I just saw this post and so glad I didn’t miss the deadline. I have to brag on my sweet husband for bringing me flowers today (instead of Valentine’s- he did something else for that!) because I had a rough day yesterday! Love that boy!

  8. Bakerella is the best!!

  9. My sweet husband, who always is a shining beacon of positivity, especially in our efforts to grow our family!

  10. I love this idea, will definately do it next year! My two daughers, my little angels-who are only 5 and 3 surprised me by waking up before me. Then they woke me up with a Valentine’s day card they made for me. I was so surprised and touched. They have beautiful souls!

  11. Those chocolates are adorable! Almost too cute to unwrap and eat!

    The person that I love is Mom – She would do anything for her girls, She’s always been right (although I’ll never tell her that) and She’s always honest – “Kimberly – if your mother can’t be honest with you, then who can?” :O)

  12. You never cease to amaze me. What will you think of next?

  13. I want to say thank you to the wonderful friends who have motivated and inspired me; and who believed in me when it was hard for me to believe in myself.

  14. Oh, those chocolates are so cute! I think I’ll make some for Easter.
    My guy is the nicest, he always carries things for me. :P Love!

  15. My sweet husband is my Valetine! This is our first married Valentine’s and it was wonderful!

  16. I love my little baby who I am 12 weeks pregnant with. :)

  17. My boyfriend will get up at 5am to make me an iced (or hot) chai – he gives me choices at 5am! :D He’s so thoughtful and sweet! I just love that boy!

  18. I love the color combination of the pink and chocolate. Cute!

  19. What a precious (resisting the urge to say sweet) clutch! I want to say something nice about my lovely grandmother, who spent all of the 14th calling her friends in India and wishing them happy Valentine’s days! It was so adorable to watch, and I’m so glad that she’s able to keep in touch with her loved ones in Bombay (she just moved to the US to live with my family here). She even made our favourite Indian desserts to celebrate the holiday :)

  20. My mom is my rock and i love her so much. I don’t know what I would do without her. She is extremely funny and talkative and gives the best cards!

    Happy Valentines Day Bakerella!!!!
    You inspire me every day <3

  21. Your attention to detail always amazes me!
    I love my family like monkeys love bananas! :)

  22. My mother in law passed away last week. She was the most patient person I’ve ever known and she would have loved one of those!

  23. I love my husband, Drew, with all of my heart. Through good times and bad he is my rock. I don’t think he knows how much I appreciate him. I am one lucky girl to have him in my life.

  24. to my husband, who’s is always there for me, and has always supported me, especially during these tough times. He is my rock and I’ll love him forever

  25. Love the cute chocolates!

    My someone special is my husband. He’s always there for me and supports me in everything I do. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to share my life with.

  26. My husband did the SWEETEST thing when him and I first met online. I had been hankering for Baskin Robbins Love Potion #31 but where I was living, no longer had it available. :( booo…. (I was in Oregon, he was in Virginia).

    Well, he took himself to the nearest Baskin Robbins, purchased a quart (mind you, a flavor he wouldn’t have chosen himself) and took pictures of himself eating it and sent it to me!

    How sweet is that?! He’s my sweetheart and I love him lots!

  27. OMG! Those chocolates are so cute, and the Kate Spade bag TDF!
    But my hunny, who I’ve been with for 20 years today is the best. Even though we really don’t celebrate Valentine’s day he still treats me with a surprise bouquet of flowers- waiting for me when I get home.

  28. I love my family and friends, they really are the best :)

  29. My special person is my fiancee. I love him so very much. Through everything, he is always there for me. Life without him is unimaginable!!!

  30. Cute! Both the chocolates and the clutch!

  31. Oh my gosh…that clutch is SO cute!! Someone I love is my daddy…he loves me no matter and is always doing those little things for me to make my day a little better. In fact, he makes me a little breakfast sandwich every morning…it’s the perfect “I Love You” to get my day started right!!

  32. My mom is awesome!! (Clutch please ;) )

  33. i love the way my mom for always being there for me :)

  34. My sweetie husband who has the prettiest green eyes ever and cracks me up about the most random of things. :)

  35. My hubby let’s me spend a nice chunk of our grocery budget on ingredients for baking so I can satisfy those pregnancy cravings. What a guy!

  36. My someone that I love is my boyfriend, who planned our whole Valentine’s day and kept everything a surprise for me to find out along the way :) My favourite part was when he got up super early to drive to my house an hour away and surprise me with breakfast in bed at 7am before I had to go to my first class! He’s the sweetest guy I could ask for, and I love him so much. I also really love that clutch, and your website! So much inspiration for the little baker inside me who adores mixing up sweet little treats to bring in to work, class, or to my boyfriend.

  37. Love love my boyfriend! Sweetest guy that has turned around my whole outlook on life… and love!

  38. That purse so perfectly combines my love of chocolate and my obsession with cute purses! And, my husband and two children (and my big furry dog) are the sweetest valentines anyone could ever ask for!

  39. Adorable! I love my mom. She is one of my best friends! She is always there no matter what and has the best advice :)

  40. Love these chocolates and wrappers… too cute!

    My valentines this year were my two boys (almost 2 & 4). They are the sweetest :o)

  41. My family! They have been so supportive and helpful with my kids. I don’t know what I would do without them!

  42. So adorable. I’m an absolute Kate Spade Groupie. This was my first single Valentine’s Day after my divorce and 25 of my blog readers came together to do a Valentine swap that totally made my day. Everyone got a surprise box of treats and there was so much excitement I wasn’t even worried about not having a date.

  43. I love my mother to the end of infintey and back! She has always been there for me through thick and thin and I knwo she will never leave me. There aren’t enough words in the english language to express how much she means to me!
    xoxo

  44. The man I love is absolutely amazing. He works so hard so that I can go to graduate school and get my Master’s degree. He is wonderful!

  45. my dogs are always good for snuggles — no matter what day it is!

  46. Cute bag!! I had a three year old bring me a Cars valentine. It was so cute.

  47. That is adorable!!!!!!!!!

  48. Cute cute cute! What a bag!

    I have three amazing, talented, clever children who inspire me daily. My husband and I are so blessed… and we have such a great family dynamic! Wouldn’t change a thing…

  49. My special someone is my entire family, husband, two daughters, two great son-in-laws and five awesome, beautiful grandchildren. I’m truly blessed every day.

  50. What an adorable purse! And the chocolates, too! I want to reach into my screen and grab a handful.

    My dad has been away on business since Christmas and comes home today. I can’t wait to see him! He’s always willing to make breakfast for dinner and watch the rom coms with me. :)

  51. Holy awesomeness. My husband is my best friend and still the love of my life. He is so patient and truly the best dad ever to our son.

    Thanks!

  52. I have the best Huzzband ever. He takes care of our family and works so hard to give our two kids everything they need and knows when to draw the line on everything they want!

  53. I love them, their are so cute.

  54. I could kiss him forever. Nothing else matters when I’m with ma babe.

  55. Just gave birth to my first son on the 070212, and was discharged from hospital on Valentine’s Day! He’s the cutest, the sweetest Valentine :) xoxo

  56. So cute! I love that clutch!

  57. I am so blessed to have two amazine men in my life, my husband and my dad, thank you everything that you both do for me. Love always – Candice

  58. Had the best Valentines ever with my fantastic 8 year old son… we made peanut blossom cookies with peanut butter hearts in them :)

  60. My special someone is my boyfriend and I hope our love will always stay as deliciously sweet as the oreo truffles I made for him for valentines :)

  61. i have a boyfriend, his name is Andrew and he’s the sweetest… he’s always there for me when i’m going through a difficult time, he can always tell when something’s off and he always knows how to cheer me up. i actually made him your valentine’s day gift box of red cake pop “truffles” for valentine’s day and he loved it! check it out at my site! thanks for the awesome, awesome idea!!!!

  62. My love for chocolate and Kate Spade can only be matched by my love for my fiance :-)

  63. My special someone is my grandmother. She has been taking care of my poor, sick Papa for the past two months without uttering a single complaint. True love.

  64. My three boys (hubby and two sons) are the best guys around!

  65. My dad is my sweetest Valentine. On valentine’s day, I woke up to find a card and a beautiful bouqet of flowers. I was in awe and very grateful to have my dad in my life. My dad also made me dinner. :)

  66. Tom rocks!!

  67. So cute! I’m the only female in my little family of four, but my boys know how to treat me right! I’m especially excited that I had a new little valentine this year: my four month old son.

  68. AHhh!! These would be perfect favors for my sister’s wedding in Vegas this next weekend, Feb. 25! She has decided against favors, but seriously, these would be so darlin’ and seem easy enough to make….. So, speaking of my sister, (Kirsten is her name)– she’s my best friend. The only one I can tell everything about anything to. Lurvvv her to the moon & back :)
    *I really need a chocolate bar purse*

  69. You are the best Bakerella!!! I love all your ideas!!

    My special someone is my pain in the butt fiance. I love him so much. He was a great valentine! =)

  70. I will take this idea and run with it! I see some kind of Mother’s Day wrappers to make a special treat for the perfect mother.

    I love love love my grandchildren who love me unconditionally and always tell me I am the best! Now who wouldn’t love that?

  71. The chocolates look like so much fun to make and wrap. You always make things look pretty and fun and that is one of the things I like the most about your blog.

    My favorite thing about my valentine this year is that he is so very patient with me, even when I am an annoying mess.

  72. So adorable! My special someone is my hubby of course. He has immense quantities of patience to put up with me. xoxox him!

  73. I just love me some cake and I love my little dog Pudge, THAT PURSE IS SO CUTE!!!

  74. Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    My valentine is sweet,
    Very loving and true.

  75. so so cute!! your candies and the clutch!! my husband gives the most thoughtful gifts of anyone i know…my friends scoffed at my present this year, but its awesome and it shows me that he takes an interest in whatever i happen to be taking an interest in…what’s better than that!? xo

  76. Love those chocolates & that purse! My little sister would love that purse – she is in the Air Force & doesn’t get a chance to be girly during the week, I know she’d love something cutesy like that. She is not just my sister, but my best friend & she was my Valentine this year.

  77. (That bag is over the top cute!)

    One of my favorite things about my Valentine is that he’ll spend forever picking out exactly the right, mushy card for me. I know that when I read it, he’s picked it out for the message it says to me. *swoon*

  78. that is soo cute! the ones i love surprised me this year, first the guy sent me a diamond ring, that was totally unexpected.. and my daughter handmade a card with 12 free massage coupons :-)

  79. Four years with my hubby Today! Love him more now than ever.

  80. So cute!!

    My valentine’s this year: my 14 month old twin boys Gamble and Gage. They’re the sweetest things ever, and darned cute; best valentine’s a mommy could ask for!

  81. My daughters are the sweetest people alive. They take care of my mom who has cancer. They take care of me who works full time. I love them to pieces.

  82. My Valentine is actually 2 people. My Mom & Dad. Thanks to them I can pursue my dream of cake decorating while I’ve been looking for a job. I graduated grad school last year and my Sister graduated Law school and we BOTH can’t find jobs. Our parents have been supporting us and allowing us to pursue our interests until we find something that can help us pay off these student loans!!!

    Love you Mum and Pop!

  83. Sweet is my daughter who out of her own good heart cleans the kitchen (she’s just turned 12) and buys me a chocolate bar for Valentines day with her own birthday money and never asks for anything for herself. I’m blessed beyond words to have a child like this.

  84. I love my cousin in S.C. She has been going through a rough time lately & can use your good thoughts & prayers.
    Love you gal
    ML

  85. The chocolates are a wonderful idea, you could really personalize them any way you wanted! Thanks!

  86. Does it come filled with the chocolates? No…darn!

    I love my three sweet girls for being my baking buddies!

  87. That purse is amazing! My son is the best thing in my life, I can’t not imagine a day without him. He has taught me to love more and laugh more and I love him so much!

  88. These chocolates look AMAZING!!! So cute and perfect for valentine’s day :)

  89. I would just DIE to have this clutch! I love me some kate spade, oh I do hope I win, I do, I do!
    But…wait a second here….does it come with the chocolates, because I can’t think of anything that would beat that right there!!!! Pick me please!

  90. If I win that clutch, my boyfriend promised to scream like a girl with me. That’s why I love him. He supports my crazy obsession with all things sweet! Hey, it’s not harming anyone..

  91. The chocolate and the clutch are both adorable!

  92. I love the chocolates and the clutch of course! Way too cute!
    I have three special someones that bring a smile, and possibly a roll of the eye or two, or three, to my face each and every day!

  93. Love those wee chocolates you made, too cute! And that clutch bag…Oh my. *squee!* I’m so blessed to be surrounded by wonderful friends and family who make me feel so special just by being there for me. Everyday is Valentine’s Day when they’re around. :) Not to mention the fact that they all make excellent taste-testers, LOL!

  94. Hearts and Chocolate – the perfect combination! These look scrumptious.

    My husband is my forever valentine. We have been together so long, and he still makes my heart flutter!

  95. my special “someone” is my dog!! guess that should be special animal :)

  96. I LOVE the chocolate wrapper designs! Seriously adorable!!! And that clutch is so major, I will gladly take it off your hands ;)

    I have to give the love shout out to my Fiance…during all of the stress and frustrations that planning a wedding has brought on he has been an amazing friend and support. I couldn’t be a luckier lady and am extremely blessed!

  97. That purse is the cutest thing ever! Just like my sweet husband who is so patient and kind!

  98. Kate Spade is just great! My mom is the greatest! She taught me everything I know about baking! (Well, aside from this blog!)

  99. My husband of almost three decades – because he doesn’t mind (too much) how many purses I buy!

  100. LOVE this!!!! Jamie you are my heart and soul..and im sooo lucky you call me your girl!

  101. looks fantastic!! ohhhh i wish!! you are a very generous lady!!

  102. My husband is my best friend. We don’t really do Valentine’s, but he does a great job of going out of his way to tell me daily how much he loves me!

  103. My son is my valentine. He was so excited to celebrate this year. Fun to see the joy through a 3 1/2 year olds eyes. We even made banana cupcakes with pink frosting for his teachers.

  104. Happy Valentine’s day to my daughter. She wakes up in the morning and gives me a kiss and says.. “Luvvv uu mommy” It’s the sweetest thing ever.

  105. My friend Lindsey is going through a lot of major transitions in her life right now. But despite everything she remains the kindest and most sincere person. She is one of my best friends and I would do anything for her.

  106. Love my sweet hubby! He’s the best!

  107. My sister is the most special person in the world! We are 10 years apart so growing up wasn’t always that great since I had the unfortunate job of babysitting and cleaning up after her. But as we got older, we grew a special bond, and although we don’t always come right out and say it, we know how much we mean to each other. Last year she was my maid of honour for my wedding – I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be with me on my wedding day. She is turning 18 March 3, and this would be a great gift to a special young lady!

  108. I love my husband for allowing me to bake, which i LOVE doing thanks to Bakerella and all the inspiration she has given me!

  109. my new baby girl is my valentine this year :) She is beautiful and has crazy spiky hair and huge blue eyes and every time I look at her I want to give her the world!

  110. I feel like every day is Valentine’s day in my life. I am blessed with an amazing husband and two pooches that turn me to mush. Those little faces, even with muddy paws, make every day better. Growing up I always said we were not a rich family, but we were rich in family. I would say that is true of the family I have built:-)

  111. I love this clutch! I hope I win! Smooches to you Bakerella! xo H ;)

  112. i love my husband, so thankful and blessed to have a man that makes my heart fill with sparklers every time i see him…

  113. I’m so in love with my husband because he is so wonderfully helpful with our newborn baby. He’s been cooking dinner every night and just jumps right in to do whatever needs to be done. This means I’m well rested, in a good mood and you know, when mom’s happy…everyone’s happy!

  114. I love my fiancee. Just 100 days left until the big day! He is so sweet and thoughtful….always putting others ahead of himself.

  115. I love my Mom. She has been helping me recover from as surgery and has been so sweet in doing it! I don’t know what I’d do without her!!!

  116. what a lovely idea, make your own chocolates + wrappers! love the clutch.
    something sweet about someone special? my dear sister….though we’re 1000 miles apart, she takes the time out of her very busy life to give me a call, which I need desperately! sisters are the best listeners and advice givers. Regardless of our love lives, we send each other little gifts on Valentine’s Day, just to show that no matter what/who else is in our lives, we will always have each other!

  117. Those chocolates are so cute! I’ll have to save this page for next February.

    I have a couple of people who are special to me, but this year it was three of my close friends. All of us decided that we weren’t going to mope around on the 14th, and we had a fun girls night out. Leave it to your girl friends to turn a sad day for singles into a really fantastic day!

  118. My special someone is my husband who is a wonderful husband and an amazing Father to our boys. Love you!

  119. my husband is the best, he sent me and our 3 girls flowers for Valentine’s Day! The girls (9,8,3) were so excited!!!

  120. Aaaah, so cute !!!

    My special someone… that would be my partner. He is the Gomez to my Morticia ! (No, really… Bats and hearts, dead roses, demented grin and all)

  121. My niece holds such a special place in my heart. I love waking up to her beautiful curly head saying, “You get a grape because you took a good nap!” She makes me laugh every day.

  122. Beautiful! YES, please, and thank you for the AMAZING heart chocolates!

  123. What an interesting bag! How creative.

    I have the worst kind of love of all, unrequited. Other than that, in the non-romantic sense, I have plenty love of around with my close friends and my pets and family. Love is Love though, it knows now bounds or labels.

    Love to all on Valentine’s Day and all year long!

  124. I am so lucky to have a boyfriend that is also my best friend. He makes me feel special and loved everyday.

  125. My husband – simply because he does the dishes, laundry, sweeps, vacuums, and clean the bathrooms – which I really hate doing. And he does it without complaining.

  126. I’d love to give this to my granddaughter! She loves items like this but cannot afford them. We love to bake together and have lots of fun.

  127. I love my husband and my children so much, they give love, joy and happiness to my life!
    And I love chocolate….

  128. Ma babe. His smile is incredible.

  129. These look so adorable, I really want to try making these with my mom. :) Dear mom, I love you so much, and thank you for supporting me in all that I do and for always being there. xoxo

  130. Fabulous giveaway! Adorable chocolates!

  131. I just found your blog when a friend pinned the Te Amo cookies you had done. They are beautiful!

    My sweet thing: My wonderful hubby who vacuumed and did the dishes as a v-day present! To heck with flowers, I’ll take a clean house any day!!! He’s a prince. <3

  132. I love my children to pieces they each make me a very happy and proud mother

  133. My amazing husband was my Valentine. He loves me and supports me no matter what mistakes I make and I’m so glad to have someone so like me (we’re both total nerds) in my life!

  134. This clutch is just like my special someone;
    solid and strong enough to carry all those chocolates, colourful and bright so that he makes me smile everytime i see him, and very very sweet. I love my Valentine husband x

  135. the sweetness in my life is my husband, who has been taking care of me after I had my gall bladder removed. the only thing cuter than this purse is watching him try and scramble eggs for me.

  136. This is such a cute idea! I love it! I am going to have to try this next year for my kiddies. Someone or should I say people I love are my wonderful husband and 2 kids. They are my world and I couldn’t imagine my life with them in it!

  137. I just got married for the last time to the love of my life and we have a lovely big family and I am as happy as can be!

    LIFE IS SWEET!

  138. Very cute chocolates! I love my husband for many reasons… good or bad, he is always there, consistent and strong. :) On a side note, I also love your constant positivity! Hope to see you in person someday on your tours!

  139. I love you for being such a great inspiration to all of us! You are so creative and talented and remind me that the little things really do count and can turn things from good to GREAT! Thank you!

  140. My husband and my son are both the light of my life! I adore them both so very completely.

  141. My someone special is my amazing group of friends. We’ve been through a lot of drama together, but have managed to stick together through it all!

  142. I love Audrey, who’s my 3 month old. She laughed out loud for me for the first time last night. :)

  143. So cute – My husband is sweet – even after 12 years of marriage and 3 kids, he still goes out of this way to make Valentine’s day special

  144. My special someone is my boyfriend.
    We have been together for nearly 7 years, met in high school. The best part? He’s my first love. And only love.
    We’ve been through some rough patches, but nothing we weren’t able to overcome. I am so confident to say that we were meant to be. <3

  145. We just had our first baby so this year I had TWO valentine’s! My husband has been amazing and helpful and my little son is already a charmer. Love them both!!

  146. I have the greatest husband imaginable. After 30 years I still think he’s gorgeous.

  147. That purse has to be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen….

    My Valentine’s wish just has to go to my four-legged best friend Scrappy, who I had to put down on V-day. Broke my heart, but I know that somewhere in heaven, he’s looking down on us — and licking out a gigantic bowl of chocolate ice cream ;-)

  148. My husband is the person I love most in this world. We’ve been married for 43 years and I think that it is pretty certain that we’ll make our 44th Anniversary in July. Of course it hasn’t all been hearts and roses, but ours is a strong love and I’m so thankful to God everyday that we are together. I know my hubby would just love to have me win that adorable Cha Cha Chocolate clutch!!!

  149. I love my little family, TOTES! They bring me joy…not just on Valentines Day but everyday. I would like to fit them all into that adorable clutch and carry them with me wherever I go! ;0)

  150. Love my daughters who gave their mama the best Valentine’s cards this year!

  151. Okay – I have been DYING over this clutch, but I wasn’t sure if it was busy enough to keep my iphone, keys, and all that cash I carry around (ha!). Good to know it’s bigger than it looks!

    I didn’t have a valentine this year, but I found lots of Valentines joy in the posts of my favorite pastry bloggers! They inspire me daily – and YOU Ms Bakerella, are a constant inspiration! In the kitchen, and in life. Thank you for doing so!

  152. My valentine is my loving and amazing husband. He’s so caring, understanding, and patient with me! I am truly lucky to have a husband who puts my wants and needs before his. I can only try my best to be the same to him!

  153. My boyfriend is the sweetest! He always goes out of his way to do something special for me. I’m the luckiest girl!

  154. That is the neatest idea ever for a clutch!! Of course, the chocolates are bad either! Can’t wait to try these. You have some of the best ideas, they always bring a smile to my face!

  155. I love my family! They always support me in all my efforts and they are so comforting to be around. Being away at college makes me miss them 1000x more!

  156. Perfect Pair! Lovely Chocolates and THE clutch!
    My valentine is my husband and i couldn’t ask for more

  157. LOOOVVVEEEEEE IT!!!!

    Also I really love my brother and his fiancee who got engaged yesterday!!!

  158. I would LOVE to give this to my friend, Cheryl!! She is such a sweet, kind and sharing person and we share an affinity for chocolate that is unending!! Thanks!

  159. My husband and 9 year old son are my sweet valentines. They are really the best guys in the world and bring such joy to my life.

  160. I love this and I love Kate! My special someone’s would be my family!!

  161. Well aren’t those cute! My family is my sweet Valentine. They can make me smile when I am down and lift me up. It is great to have people who love you no matter what!

  162. ADORABLE!! My hubby and kids took turns being my valentines. Lucky me.

  163. I can only thank God that he put my husband and I together. He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met.

  164. I love my wonderful husband of 21 years and our four children. Although our life is usually crazy and hectic, every day is filled with love, laughter and happiness.

  165. My little dog is the sweetest, you pick him up and he’ll just lick you until you put him down. Love him so much!

  166. Yay for giveaways!
    My valentine is the best daddy ever. He’s patient and kind and loves others. He lets me stay home with our little boys while he works hard all week long. He is generous to the needy. He loves my parents. He’s goofy and makes me laugh. He brings me chocolate when I need it most. He shovels the snow from our driveway. He lets me make messes in the kitchen. He doesn’t complain about a messy house. He folds laundry (sometimes), ha!
    Thanks for asking me to write down the sweets about my sweet! I know I take him for granted–it’s good to make a list once in awhile. (:
    Hope you are doing great with your new kidney, Bakerella! Just renewed my d. license and thought of you when I saw the little heart (organ donation) on the front!

  167. Cute! I made Vanilla Custard Cream cookies for Valentine’s Day in the shape of a heart and sandwiched pink buttercream in between two cookies. They were the hit of the office. I would love, love, love this little clutch.

  168. The one I love gets me just the way I am, I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. He’s the best!

  169. That is the most adorable clutch I think I’ve ever seen!

    My dear husband is my world! I wouldn’t trade him for the world!

  170. My hubby is the bestest… High School sweethearts we made it thru the college years together, we’ve been together 17 years, arried for 11 years, two beautiful boys, and living our happily ever after. And I love Kate Spade, I too “die”.

  171. SO CUTE!!! you’re the sweetest for doing this post. happy valentine’s day~!

  172. My sister is sweeter than chocolate, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t use a candy bar purse filled with her favorite treats! <3

  173. SO CUTE!!! happy valentine’s day~!

  174. I have 3 valentines! My lovely daughters. All grown up, but still very much Mommie’s Girls and each so special in their own way.

    But what would I do if I won the drawing?!? Couldn’t give that cute little purse to just one of my valentines…maybe make them share custody…no, what probably wouldn’t work…oh dang! I’d just have to keep it! Maybe I’d let them borrow it…

  175. Love the chocolates you made and love the clutch!

  176. To the one I love: “To the world you are one person but to me, you are the world.”

    I adore this Kate Spade purse almost as much as I adore Bakerella! xoxo from Britain

  177. My fiance is wonderfully sweet. He made me an edible bouquet of chocolate dipped strawberries and pineapple for Valentines day. I got him some chocolate, too, but it wasn’t nearly as interesting. :P

  178. These little chocolates are soooooo adorable!! I love my little sister, Emily. She has been one of my best friends my whole life!!

  179. i received the best valentine’s gift from my hubby. it was not in the stuffed animal or toys he got for the kids and i. it wasn’t the flowers or all the lovely things he bought. the real gift was his words of encouragement on a homemade valentine card that blessed my socks off! not only did he give me one super encouraging, loving and romantic card, but he made them for the kids also! they highlighted all the great things my kids do and how their personalities differ and are awesome in their own way!! what a man!! thank you for the lovely contest!! i hope you also had a great valentine’s day!

  180. These are ADORABLE! I want some chocolates with a side of this fabulous purse!

    My special valentine is my baby brother who is the family’s secret prized possession. He can make anyone laugh and goes far beyond his years in maturity <3 xoxo

  181. My sister is my best friend in the whole world! I’m so blessed to be able to work, shop and travel with her everyday. She’s the best and definitely keeps me grounded and sane!

  182. There is no one sweeter and no one that i love more than my daughter. She is my Sun, Moon, & Stars!!!

  183. My sweet boyfriend, flying to New York tomorrow, I love you! Have fun and enjoy, I will most certainly miss you a lot. So much that words can’t even decribe it.

  184. I love my sister so much I killed a scorpion for her!

  185. My husband because he loves and supports me endlessly!

  186. I had the best Valentine’s Day ever this year and it’s all because of my amazing boyfriend. We did absolutely nothing but just stay at home and watch a movie together. (I did happen to make him the cheescake bars from here and cut them in to little heart shapes which was messy but they looked fantastic!) But what I love most about my boyfriend is that we were perfectly happy just spending time together. He’s the first person who really sees me for who I am and we just connect in this way I never thought possible. He’s absolutely the sweetest! He would also think I was crazy if I ever showed up with that clutch but I think it’s fantastic! Hope everyone had a Valentine’s day filled with happiness and love!

  187. Love me anything that has to do with chocolate!
    My sweet husband, my best friend, there is no one that I would rather spend time with then him. He is the best.

  188. I love my sweet fiancee, Jon, so very much! Because I had surgery just before Valentines Day, we were not able to go out. But we enjoyed a nice evening together nonetheless :)

  189. Cute chocolates! Cuter purse! My special someone would be my husband…he is the ABSOLUTE greatest!

  190. I have been hoping to get a Kate Spade purse for about 1 year now. My daughter is the best Valentine I could ever ask for. She’s only 11 but she will always have top spot in my heart!

  191. This year, I got to spend Valentine’s Day with my husband and my 3 month old son. It was our first love day as a family, and I can’t wait to spend many more lovely days with my two boys. I’m so lucky!

  192. I love all your creations, Bakerella!!! Now I MUST run and buy candy molds and pink foil *sigh*

    My special someone is my husband. I love the little things he does for me, my favorites: tickling me awake and showering me with love on a lazy Sunday morning, and bringing me a glass of water every single night before I go to bed because he knows I wake up thirsty, it’s like a ritual now and I love it! :)

  193. Such a cute little clutch – thank you for your generosity!
    My valentine is my husband of 6 1/2 years…we have weathered our share of storms, but still seem to grow in our relationship and I love him with all my heart.

  194. There’s been a guy, we’ll call him “Danny,” who’s been my friend for about 3 years. And to tell you the truth? I have a huge crush on him. He has almost always been there for me to encourage me and listen to me. Right now, he’s in a different state, at a different college than me, but I miss him. so. darn. much.

    Happy Valentine’s Day, Danny! <3 I love you!

  195. My mom is so special, she helps our family on a daily basis. I couldn’t make it without her. She always doing something nice for others. This would make her day!

  196. Love the cute little candy bars! Valentine’s Day should be celebrated everyday with the ones you love; that’s what I try to do. :)

  197. I love my family and our cute little puppy! they are the best in the world

  198. Cute chocolates and cute purse! I am lucky; I have 5 wonderful valentines. My sweet nephews and niece!

  199. My husband’s birthday is Valentine’s Day. Yet he always manages to do something so nice for me as well. He got candy and flowers for me from our sons, and then spoiled me with a bunch of presents as well. On HIS birthday!

  200. Oh, how adorable!

    My hubby is the sweetest Valentine I could ask for. He feeds my need for cuteness by sending me pictures of fuzzy animals while I’m at work. Even though he’s naturally a messy person, he tries his best to clean and organize around the house when I’m not there. And he is always there to encourage me, to help me and to comfort me. I love you, honey!
