Hot Chocolate Stirrers a recipe for Valentine's Day

One of my favorite thing about having children is having an excuse to make a big deal about holidays.

We celebrate all of the major (and many minor) holidays by decorating, crafting, and most importantly, creating fun dishes!

When my daughter was about 2 years old, her grandma gave her an adorable pink apron and chef’s hat. I can’t remember what dish we ended up making (although, it clearly involved caramel), but she has had a love for baking ever since.

Fast forward to now, when she is 8 years old, and she is preparing dishes in the kitchen, almost entirely on her own!

This year, we made hot chocolate stirrers for Valentine’s Day! They are adorable heart-shaped marshmallows drizzled with melted milk chocolate.

They’re easy enough for an inexperienced cook, or an 8-year-old to make!
