If you want to make a homemade treat for your family or that special someone, try these beautiful Grape Chocolate Hearts.
Made with dark chocolate, green grapes, and chocolate ball sprinkles, they are perfect for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and birthdays.
Pipe the heart-shaped chocolates on top of a lolly stick for mess-free eating, or wrap them in cellophane and gift them to anyone who enjoys a sweet treat.
Feel free to swap for milk chocolate, and if you can't find chocolate ball sprinkles, just use mini chocolate chips.
