Breakable Heart Molds: Tips & Tricks For a Smashing Success

You’ve fallen in love with the idea of those clever smashable diamond hearts—so what is the best way to pull off this clever dessert/gift?

• To give a shine to the chocolate, consider cleaning the mold beforehand with a small amount of vodka or other alcohol. Don’t worry—it doesn’t affect the taste, as it evaporates quickly.

• Tap the mold as you pour the chocolate into the mold. This releases any air bubbles and also smoothes out the chocolate!

• Use a piping bag if the chocolate doesn’t make it all the way to the top of the mold. 

• Remove any excess chocolate as you don’t want the mold to be too thick!

• Place it in your freezer for 12 minutes.

• Consider doing a second layer, taking care to make it a consistent thickness. Use a spoon the smooth it out.

• Clean the sides before putting it back to the freezer.

• It is easiest to remove the silicone mold when it is first removed from the freezer. If you wait, the chocolate begins to warm . . . and can cause it to stick to the mold!

Ok, now that the tips are out of the way, here are the molds we thought worked best when we tried them out in our own kitchen.
