While at the store (Target) last week, I came across this cute little heart shaped baking tray and I just had to pick it up. Mostly because my 3 year old was yelling about “eat-a-pops”, which is what she calls anything you can eat that’s on a stick. A few minutes later and we were on our way home to make some Chocolate Covered Heart Shaped Cake Pops.
There really are not a lot of things you need for this tutorial, just a great cake recipe, some chocolate candy melts, and an oven!
Chocolate Covered Heart Shaped Cake Pops
Step 1: Grab your favorite cake recipe and get everything mixed and ready.
Step 2: Once your mix is ready, place small scoops into the heart shaped baking dish that has been sprayed with a non stick spray and sprinkled with a little flour.
Step 3: Cover your tray with the top and bake for 10 minutes. I found this was the perfect amount of time for these little hearts!
Step 4: Once finished, open up the tray and pop them out on a sheet of wax paper or a cooling rack. Take the popsicle (eat-a-pop) sticks, dip them in chocolate, and allow to cool.
Step 5: Once cooled, cover in chocolate and decorate as desired.
Such a cute and fun project, and now little Addy can have her cake and “eat a pops”, too! Ok, that was cheesy… I did find that one cake mix would make about 60 heart shaped cake pops, so you will have plenty to share!
We had so much fun making these. I love making fun desserts with the kiddos, and they love to help “taste test” to make sure they are perfect. We coated our “eat-a-pops” in chocolate and sprinkles, (and we coated half of the kitchen in the same).
I hope you have fun like we did making cute Valentine’s desserts, and make sure to give these Chocolate Covered Heart Shaped Cake Pops a try.

January 29, 2014 at 08:12Well, this was less of a recipe and more of a how-to with the fun little heart shaped baking tins I picked up at Target. Addy went CRAZY over them! It was a good buy, I am sure Des and Scarlet would have fun with this as well. 🙂

January 29, 2014 at 09:03I really want to try these, but I am so afraid my lack of baking skills will ruin them! 😉 They look delicious!-Ashley

January 29, 2014 at 09:22You could totally do this! Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it… 🙂

January 29, 2014 at 11:46How adorable are these?!! So cute! Very tempted to try to make them…but I burn everything that needs to be baked…
Jennifer says
January 29, 2014 at 12:47The trick is NOT to bake them long at all. I took my cake recipe and placed the oven on the same temp I would for cupcakes….and then I only baked these for 10 minutes.

January 29, 2014 at 12:31Just last night my husband and I were discussing how to make cake pops! Great timing 😉 Thanks for these cute ones, too.
Jennifer says
January 29, 2014 at 12:48Awe, thanks Melissa! These were super easy because there was this heart shaped bakeware being used. It was actually easier for me to make than when I do my other cake balls! LOL

February 1, 2014 at 08:39OK< those look amazing! My kids would have so much fun making those. I've pinned, and we are going to do it! Second of all, your pictures are incredible! Have you done any posts on how to make great pictures because I need some tips on getting my photos to look like THAT! (not only the pictures, but what program you use to make them so pretty!)
Jennifer says
February 1, 2014 at 08:59Awe, thanks so much! I have not done any posts on how to do pictures, but I do have a board on Pinterest and it has a ton of photo tips and tricks. I haven’t read them all, but the ones from ClickItUpANotch are what got me shooting manual. Courtney is an amazing teacher! For the program, I actually use TWO. I use both PicMonkey and Photoshop. I am sure there is a much easier way to do it…but I’m like an old dog who doesn’t learn new tricks…LOL.
