We’re calling it: Nothing says Valentine’s Day quite like these fun-sized Chocolate Hearts. Not only are they decadent and tasty, but they’re also so incredibly easy to whip up. I used simple ingredients in this recipe, including Vital Proteins™ Chocolate Collagen Peptides ($27; shop now)!
These Chocolate Hearts are great if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to treat yourself or your loved ones. The combination of the dark chocolate, Chocolate Collagen Peptides and cinnamon, with a touch of almond crunch and sea salt, is a perfect blend of flavor. You can add dried fruit and a touch of maple syrup to sweeten it up. Another wonderful way to gift these chocolates is to add a popsicle stick and tie a ribbon on the end.
Whatever your plans are on Valentine’s Day, don’t forget to enjoy a chocolate heart or two.
