Pro tip: make the chocolate more yummy by pushing pretzels on the underside of the heart domes. It helps give it more stability and then you have a yummy salty sweet treat to snack on other than too much plain chocolate!
I got a silicon bold JUST like this from Amazon except it’s a huge bear! 😭 It’s adorable! But every video I look up it’s done much smaller & they use a plastic mold (altho from the reviews of the actual mold, it seems possible.. I’ll absolutely but using this as my guide. Thank u SO MUCH for the video!! Wish me luck!
Hi when I put the heart in the freezer it went really hard and crunchy when I put the second coat and it didn’t work I had to do it again and put in the fridge instead
😂😂😂 I’ve never made one but even- I was like... “Nooooo, Liz-nooooooo....why you got that metal mallet so high in the air? It’s...it’s....it’s just choc-late”!!
I love this trend. I want to attempt this but I need to get my hands on a IR thermometer in Australia that is accurate. Would you be able to recommend another reliable IR reader
When you are working on tempering chocolate, what should be the room temperature? If we are in hot climate country then should we turn on the aircon and work? If yes what temperature should be the aircon kept on?
When I attempt to make the top and the bottom they do not line up, probably a 1/2 inch gap. Did you use the same mold for the top and the bottom or two molds? I used two molds. I am familiar with making cocoa bombs and assumed it would be the same process but when the hearts didn't line up I was baffled. Any advise?
Oh no! Yes I use 2 separate molds, but they game together in a kit so I’m positive they’re the same size. My only guess is that the chocolate is shrinking away from the edges, so just take extra care with building up the edges so they’re nice and strong.
Do these rules apply with almond bark, or is that a lot different? Also what chocolate do you recommend? Jc there’s a lot that comes up when I do a google search.
Not quite, tempering only applies to chocolate that has cocoa butter in it. If you haven’t seen them yet, I go over the difference between the chocolates in my Hot Chocolate bombs video: th-cam.com/video/glSfeaoYgvk/w-d-xo.html And in my how to temper chocolate video: th-cam.com/video/z1dHYZgko_k/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
Can I make these ahead of time like one day ahead of time and then put them in the fridge raider if I have chocolate covered strawberries inside? Looks amazing 💖
Sorry just added it! www.amazon.com/Silicone-Non-Sticky-Pounding-Chocolate-Valentines/dp/B08GX8NM9V/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=silicone+heart+mousse+mold&qid=1611854329&s=home-garden&sr=1-18
Cake question-- Liz, your cake recipes that use oil simply say "vegetable oil". That's a broad range of choices. What type of oil (canola, peanut, safflower, generic vegetable, olive....) do you recommend in a velvet cake--say your pink velvet cake for Valentine's day? Thank you!
Hi! I am not a professional baker (yet) but I have tried different oils but I’ve found that vegetable oil and canola oil was best. Idk but the peanut oil made it taste a little different and not my preference. I hope that helps some 😋
Oh , absolutely! That’s the mind blowing part. You’re charging top dollar for candy melts 🥴 when REAL CHOCOLATE TASTES AMAZING and costs more. Some people just will never know
Would love to make one filled with m&ms! So once you have tempered chocolate, it stays tempered? Like, if it sets and you want to use it again later, you only have to melt it and not temper it again?
Hi. Thank you for this video. Do you know what can of cake board I can use to stick the heart? I am trying to use one, but the heart sticks on the board and then like 1 hour later starts moving. What can I use or put on the bottom? Thank you 😊
OK so I just found your channel LMBO. It looks like you were taking some frustration out on that poor little heart LOL so we’re making one of these to give to someone how would you seal the hearts together? Would you add a small tiny layer of white chocolate and press it down or would you melt it down a little bit and then stick it on top? Thank you and you’re funny btw and I love conversation hearts 🥰 ❤️
Make a french buttercream video and can you put the egg yolks by oz and not egg yolks because I have broken left over egg yolks so I don't know how many I have
@@SugarGeekShow thank you for telling me. Also can you please follow me on tikok. I ask a lot because my family knows I love your channel. And if you follow me it will show them that making sweets is not a waste of time. Also I wanted to say that I started baking at 4 years old, my first cake was a pound cake and store bought frosting. I want to be just like you when I am older. Also can you please watch my video. It would mean a lot. Love you liz ❤❤❤
Also I wanted to tell you that I don't like my cakes because they don't look like your cake.i would love to meet you in person and be your best friend, because you are the most talented cake decorator in the world. PS, can you follow me on tikok
I’ve had mine in the freezer for a couple hours now but the chocolate doesn’t seem to completely harden. Is there something I could be doing wrong? This is my third attempt and I feel like giving up
Oh no! It sounds like there was an issue with your tempering. What kind of chocolate did you use and what method of tempering? Microwave? Seeding method?
Hi could you tell me why my chocolate heart doesn't actually smash when you hit with the mallet? It just sinks (like it's soft) when smashed. Despite only being out the freezer for less than 10 mins
I need help! When I’ve done this my hearts never end up having them be the same exact size ugh! They teeter totter. Is that makes sense. What am I doing wrong?! Is the amount of chocolate supposed to be exact?
I Wana make a heart like this for my boyfriend.... Hope mine comes out pretty.. Thanks for showing us how to do it.. But I will be using the small hammer 🛠.. Lol 😂
Happy to see a full heart, with a top & bottom. It looks so great!
For some reason everyone just molds one and sets it atop a pile of treats.
Pro tip: make the chocolate more yummy by pushing pretzels on the underside of the heart domes. It helps give it more stability and then you have a yummy salty sweet treat to snack on other than too much plain chocolate!
That break was epic 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤣🤣🤣
Very beautiful 🥰 love from India, Kerala♥️
12:10 now you know why people use the dinky hammers! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I just wanted to feel like the Hulk 😂😂😂
@@SugarGeekShow apparently now you can get a meat mallet that looks like Thor's hammer.
@@BeckyMa9482 omg I NEED that 😂😂😂😂😂
💔
🤣😂😂😂😂
Thank you ! It seems that you’re the only one using real chocolate, super helpful video.
Your laughter was awesome! That really SHATTERED!
That was awesome 👌 I loved your reaction to breaking the heart. Great video.
I got a silicon bold JUST like this from Amazon except it’s a huge bear! 😭

Hey how'd it go?
Hi when I put the heart in the freezer it went really hard and crunchy when I put the second coat and it didn’t work I had to do it again and put in the fridge instead
Your reaction is priceless!!! Love it
Yass a new video! Im gonna make this for Valentine s day. Thanks
Oh great , my purpose in life has changed for the next 15 hours 🤦🏻♀️😎
😂😂😂
I’ve never made one but even-
I was like...
“Nooooo, Liz-nooooooo....why you got that metal mallet so high in the air? It’s...it’s....it’s just choc-late”!!
Haha
That chocolate personally offended her 😂
Omg I literally am crying at that break 😂😂😂
By the way … that smash was epic! I’m so glad you didn’t cut that part out.. priceless
That's why they use the dainty hammer. :)
Handing these out like hotcakes for Valentines!!! xoxoxo
Hey Liz.. can we use nestle tolls or Ghirardelli white chocolate chips...we can temper them also right?? Plzzz reply me
If a chocolate has cocoa butter as an ingredient on the back of the package, it’s real chocolate and can be tempered
What is the temp of the second coated chocolate when you dumped it over the white chocolate? 86?
I love this trend. I want to attempt this but I need to get my hands on a IR thermometer in Australia that is accurate. Would you be able to recommend another reliable IR reader
I was NOT expecting that ending 😂😂😂😂 omg!!!
Can use bar milk chocolate..?
Do you have a crepes video?
Will the chocolate melt like if the heart is made and finished will it melt ?
When you are working on tempering chocolate, what should be the room temperature? If we are in hot climate country then should we turn on the aircon and work? If yes what temperature should be the aircon kept on?
can i put it on fridge a day before the party?
What do you use to stick half of the cake onto a cake board?
Is adding the chopped chocolate a must? Are chocolate chips okay?
I really love your tutorials. Cakes are so delicious
What size mold is that please?
Does all choclate need to be tempered for this breakable heart to work?
When I attempt to make the top and the bottom they do not line up, probably a 1/2 inch gap. Did you use the same mold for the top and the bottom or two molds? I used two molds. I am familiar with making cocoa bombs and assumed it would be the same process but when the hearts didn't line up I was baffled. Any advise?

Where do you get the heart pan? What is it called
So do you put it in the fridge for a while until you use it again how long if so?
What's the chocolate brand?
Could i use almond bark?
Do these rules apply with almond bark, or is that a lot different?
Also what chocolate do you recommend? Jc there’s a lot that comes up when I do a google search.

Hi! Can we melt Nutella instead of chocolates, please?
That's awesome. Thanks! I.was.wpndering how the bottem was done. Now I know
Hi can we use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the second layer?
Hi. I fridge it for 10mins and when i try take it out from the mold, it break. Any idea why?
OMG!!! It looks amazing 💖
Hey liz what if we want to use semisweet chocolate?
Can I make these ahead of time like one day ahead of time and then put them in the fridge raider if I have chocolate covered strawberries inside? Looks amazing 💖
Ahh the link for the mold is not on there 👀👀👀👀

Lol wow when you whacked it ! Thanks for sharing
will it melt on room temp after tempering?
Nope, if tempered correctly it will stay in tact at room temp
@@SugarGeekShow wow thanks! even in transport a bit hot sometimes.. it will not be melted right?
@@SugarGeekShow and how many days can i store it on fridge before serving?

Wow i can't wait to get to watch this video!!!
So when the chocolate starts to cool after it's tempered and you need to reheat it, do you have to temper it again?
can i use chocolate compound?
Hi, the left over tempered white chocolate. How would you reuse it for next time? Would you need to reheat it upto 45c?
Yesssss! Agree 100000%
I cringe at all the candy melt strawberries, hearts, etc 🥺 they charge so much for chocolate that isn’t even real
and doesn't taste as good
Oh , absolutely! That’s the mind blowing part. You’re charging top dollar for candy melts 🥴 when REAL CHOCOLATE TASTES AMAZING and costs more. Some people just will never know
Would love to make one filled with m&ms!

Hi Liz :) will any thermoscan thermometer work?
Any infrared thermometer will work!
Thank you :)
Hi. Thank you for this video. Do you know what can of cake board I can use to stick the heart? I am trying to use one, but the heart sticks on the board and then like 1 hour later starts moving.
What can I use or put on the bottom? Thank you 😊
Love your energy ❤️😍
Oh it's so cute Liz I love it.

Okay 🤣 thats it 🤣🤣🤣
Lol this was to fun! Thank you for the laughs Liz 😋🥳🙌
can i use candy melts?
They may not come out of the mold, because candy melts don’t contract like real chocolate. So I wouldn’t recommend it
Make a french buttercream video and can you put the egg yolks by oz and not egg yolks because I have broken left over egg yolks so I don't know how many I have
If it helps you, one egg yolk weighs .67 ounces so you can always figure out how many you have :)

Hello how do u seal the breakeable heart?
Hi! Will it taste different if I make this with chocolate compound?
Yes :) the better tasting chocolate you use, the better it will taste
And I know this recipe will be good because you make good recipes and I have tried it before
Can you make different kinds of frosting
I have tons of frosting recipes you can check out on my blog :) sugargeekshow.com/category/recipe/frosting-and-icing/
The minute you took out the meat tenderizer... I was like!! Oh that's not good! Lol.. But it was epic... 😄😂😂
Hi could you tell me why my chocolate heart doesn't actually smash when you hit with the mallet? It just sinks (like it's soft) when smashed. Despite only being out the freezer for less than 10 mins
Your temper was probably off 🙁 it can be really tricky to get right.
Can you give us an idea about what chocolate it is and where to buy? I know that if you have crap chocolate, all that work will be for naught!
Yes I have them all listed and linked on my blog post! sugargeekshow.com/recipe/breakable-chocolate-heart-tutorial/
Definitely making this ❤️❤️❤️
I need help! When I’ve done this my hearts never end up having them be the same exact size ugh! They teeter totter. Is that makes sense. What am I doing wrong?! Is the amount of chocolate supposed to be exact?
I need more details on how you seal
Is she using regular paint brushes or is there specific ones for baking???
Any clean paint brush or pastry brush is fine. These are paint brushes that I use only for chocolate :)
@@SugarGeekShow thank you sooo much! 🤗
Can we use lindtt chocolate ?
Yes! Just be sure to chop it finely for seeding or before melting if you're doing the microwave method.
