Here’s something fun {and a little spicy!} for Valentine’s Day: cinnamon candy hearts made with red hot candies! These would be delicious dissolved in a cup of tea or cocoa or as decorations on top of cupcakes.
To make these, you just need small cinnamon candies {found in the candy or baking aisle at most grocery stores}.
Bake at 350 degrees for about ten minutes, watching carefully for the last few minutes. Take them out when the candies are melted but before they burn.
I popped the pan into the freezer to cool them then carefully popped them out of the pan. When popping them out, be careful not to break the candy hearts. I slipped a small knife under the edge of each heart to loosen them and then slid them out.
These candy hearts look so shiny and pretty and would be a really fun embellishment at a valentine party!
What would you do with these cinnamon candy hearts?
