Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! For this upcoming Valentine’s Day, we’re going to make incredibly special and cute ‘Mini Donut Shaped Handmade Chocolates.’ Let me tell you exactly what ingredients you’ll need!
Step 2
Melting the Chocolate: First, let’s prepare to melt the chocolate. The best method is to melt it slowly using a ‘double boiler,’ but if you’re using a microwave, heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Once melted, transfer each chocolate into a piping bag. Here’s a crucial tip! Don’t melt all the white, pink, and milk chocolates at once. Melt each color separately and transfer them into individual piping bags. This is because the chocolate can start to harden while you’re filling the molds. Melting and piping them separately gives you ample working time.
Step 3
Filling the Molds: Carefully pipe the melted chocolate from the piping bags into the ‘mini donut chocolate molds’ you’ve prepared. The molds I’m using are from B&C Market or Bread Garden, and they create such cute mini donut shapes! I filled the molds first with milk chocolate, then pink chocolate, and finally white chocolate. Once all the molds are filled, place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set. The chocolates will harden nicely in a short amount of time.
Step 4
Demolding the Chocolates: After 10 minutes in the freezer, take out the molds. Now it’s time to carefully release the cute mini donut chocolates from the molds. Even though they are plastic molds, the chocolates popped out smoothly without any sticking, which was really convenient! They came out perfectly shaped like plump donuts!
Step 5
Decorating with Your Personal Touch: Even though they are cute as they are, let’s make these mini donut chocolates more special for Valentine’s Day! Use the sprinkles and chocolate decorating pens you have to decorate them in your own unique style. Write messages, add dots, sprinkle them on – let your imagination run wild! Allow the parts decorated with the pens to set naturally at room temperature for a bit.
Step 6
Arranging in a Chocolate Box: Once the decorated chocolates are completely set, it’s time to arrange them beautifully in a chocolate box for gifting. I used the ‘Amor 9-piece Chocolate Box.’ This box was also purchased from B&C Market or Bread Garden. They have various sizes like 16 or 25 pieces, but I chose the 9-piece box to achieve a more charming and compact look. Arranging the chocolates neatly already makes them look like a perfect gift!
Step 7
Packaging Like Real Donuts: Although they are chocolates, I made cute donut wrappers myself and placed them in the box so they look like real mini donuts. Doesn’t it look like actual mini donuts when packaged like this? This little detail adds a special touch.
Step 8
Adorable Pink Mini Donuts: The mini donuts made with strawberry-flavored pink chocolate are extra lovely. Adding sprinkles like candy stars further enhances the sweetness and visual appeal. They have an irresistibly cute and delightful appearance!
Step 9
Completing the Mini Donut Set!: Arranging the mini donut chocolates, carefully wrapped in my handmade donut wrappers, into the Amor 9-piece box has created what looks like a luxurious ‘Mini Donut Set’! For the mini donuts in the center row, I placed cupcake liners underneath for a neater presentation.
Step 10
Great Shape and Taste!: The mini donut chocolate molds are incredibly easy to use, and the results are so charming. If you receive such cute chocolates on Valentine’s Day, the recipient’s eyes will surely widen with surprise and delight. The shape alone is enough to impress.
Step 11
Witty Donut Wrappers: I wrote ‘DONUTS’ in English on the donut wrappers I made myself. It brings a smile every time I see this cute and clever detail. These chocolates offer a delightful visual experience.
Step 12
Clever ‘BREAD’ Packaging: Since donuts are a type of bread, I showed some wit by writing ‘BREAD’ on other wrappers! How about making this upcoming Valentine’s Day extra special with these cute and sweet mini donut chocolates? Using the mini donut chocolate molds and the Amor 9-piece chocolate box, create your own uniquely charming, adorable, and delicious Valentine’s Day gift!
