Makkuro Kurosuke Chocolate Cake
Recreate soot sprites with sweets! Finely grate baby castella using a grater, then mix it with a blend of white chocolate and milk.
Roll the resulting dough into small balls, chill them in the refrigerator, then dip them in coating chocolate and attach chocolate sprinkles all around.
Chill again to set, and finally use white chocolate or a chocolate pen to add the soot sprites’ eyes.
They’re done! If you’re not set on black, using colorful sprinkles makes them look super cute.
Chewy Bear Muffin
You only need Oreos and milk! These muffins are super easy to make with no special techniques.
Put the Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin or similar.
Add milk and mix—your batter is ready! Pour into muffin molds and bake.
After baking, decorate to look like a bear’s face using store-bought cookies, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and more to finish your chewy bear muffins.
It’s amazing that a muffin batter, which usually requires mixing various ingredients, can be made with just two! You’ll want to try it right away, won’t you?
Double Chocolate Muffin
Muffins that won’t melt before you hand them over are perfect for sharing with friends.
These double chocolate chip muffins made with pancake mix are super easy—just combine all the ingredients, including the pancake mix, chocolate, cocoa, and chocolate chips, pour into molds, and bake.
If you use cane sugar instead of white sugar, they’ll be a healthier treat.
Decorate with whipped cream or chocolate sprinkles to make them an even cuter Valentine’s gift!
Chocolate tart
These chocolate tarts are easy to make with ingredients from the dollar store.
Just mix butter, chocolate, and whipped cream, pour the mixture into tart cups, decorate with heart-shaped chocolates and colorful sprinkles, and chill until set—ready in no time! Pack them in a cute box that shows off the decorations from the outside and give them as a Valentine’s gift.
If your other baking attempts don’t go well, this is a great option since you can quickly pick up the ingredients and whip them up fast!
Choco Pops & Cake Pops
Cute and easy to eat, these no-oven chocolate pops and cake pops are simple to make—perfect even for first-time homemade chocolate makers! Combine chopped chocolate with heated heavy cream, pour it into a tray, and chill in the refrigerator until fully set.
Roll the chilled chocolate into bite-sized balls, insert sticks, dip them in coating chocolate, and they’re done! For cake pops, crumble sponge cake, mix in a binder made from white chocolate and heavy cream, roll into balls, and coat the outside with chocolate just like the chocolate pops to finish.
