Raw Chocolate Crunch Sandwich
Why not try making and gifting a no-oven raw chocolate crunch sandwich? You might wonder how to make the crunchy part without an oven—the secret is cornflakes! Crush the cornflakes with a hand chopper and mix them with melted chocolate to create a delightfully crunchy base.
Then shape it as you like, sandwich chocolate in the middle, and your crunch sandwich is ready.
Decorate with silver dragées or dried fruit for an even tastier and more eye-catching finish!
Letter Chocolate
You can make this with sliced bread! Here’s how to create adorable letter-shaped chocolates that are perfect for Valentine’s treats.
First, cut off the crusts from the bread.
Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread.
Cut the slice in half, then trim both corners on one side of the half, and place a chocolate bar on it.
Fold the bread like an envelope.
Press the edges slightly with your fingers or a fork so they don’t open.
Lightly moisten the top edge with a little water.
Toast it, then decorate with sweets—and it’s done! It’s super cute, so be sure to make it with your kids.
Dreamy-kawaii flowing chocolate
Simple to make and super cute! Here’s how to create dreamy, kawaii poured chocolate that girls love.
You can get most of the ingredients at a 100-yen shop! First, prepare your favorite mold, then pour in melted chocolate.
Using two different colors of chocolate, split left and right, makes it extra cute.
If you swirl the center border with a toothpick to create a pattern, it looks even higher quality.
After that, top with small chocolates, silver dragées, or dried fruit as you like! If you color white chocolate, you can make any shade you want—so give dreamy, kawaii chocolate a try!
Strawberry Chocolate Pie
Let’s make delicious pies easily using frozen pie sheets, even for complex pastry dough! Here’s a Valentine’s Day–recommended recipe for strawberry chocolate pies.
First, coat the entire frozen pie sheet with granulated sugar and let it adhere.
Cut the pie sheet into four long strips, then take each strip and cut it into three lengthwise strands, leaving the top ends attached so they stay connected.
Braid each one, then gently stretch and form into rings.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15–20 minutes.
Once baked, let them cool slightly, then dip in melted strawberry chocolate to hide the seam where the dough connects.
They’re ready to enjoy! Wrap them cutely—they make great gifts, too!
White Nama Chocolate Sandwich
Just mix and chill! Here’s how to make White Nama Chocolate Sandwiches, perfect for Valentine’s Day.
First, break white chocolate into a bowl.
Heat it in a 600W microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.
Take it out and stir the chocolate.
Next, add 100 ml of the 200 ml heavy cream to the chocolate.
After mixing, add the remaining cream and mix again.
Place a biscuit upside down in a muffin cup that fits the size of the biscuit.
Pipe in the mixed chocolate.
Place another biscuit on top, right side up, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Remove the cup, and it’s done!
