Chocolate Bouquet
Mix a few of these long stem treats with a dozen roses for a beautiful Valentine's Day bouquet.
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 10-12 min.
Decoration time: 20 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
- 1 bag DOVE® Brand Milk or Dark Chocolate Hearts
- 1 bag SNICKERS® Brand MINIS® for Valentine's Day
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 18-oz. tube refrigerated chocolate chip dough
- 18 12-inch wooden skewers
- 18 12-inch square sheets various colors cellophane
- 12-inch strands curling ribbon
- Non-toxic glue
- Green construction paper
- Green food coloring, optional
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- If desired, tint the wooden skewers with the green food coloring, and set aside to dry.
- Knead together the flour and cookie dough. Finely chop 1 cup of SNICKERS® Brand MINIS® for Valentine's Day, and gently knead the candy into the dough.
- Shape the dough into slightly flattened 2-1/2-inch circles. Insert the skewers into the sides of the dough, and bake until golden brown (about 10-12 minutes). Remove the pan from the oven, and lightly press an unwrapped DOVE® Brand Chocolate Heart in the middle of each cookie. Let cool completely.
- To wrap the cookies, poke a tiny hole in the center of each sheet of cellophane. Slide a skewer through each hole, and have the cellophane "collar" the cookie. Completely cover each cookie by bringing the cellophane up and around, tying it on the top with a ribbon. Cut small leaves from the construction paper, and glue them onto the stems.
