- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup red and pink M&M’s or candy hearts
- 1/4 cup Valentine’s Day sprinkles
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for extra smoothness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Melting Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and coconut oil or butter if using. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

- Press and Chill: Spread the mixture evenly into a lined shallow pan or baking tray. Sprinkle the Valentine’s Day sprinkles evenly over the top and gently press them into the mixture.
