Chocolate Pocky Heart Decorations are the easiest and most festive topper for your Valentine’s cake. They double as a chocolate treat too!
CHOCOLATE POCKY HEART DECORATIONS
I made these hearts to decorate my Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe. They’re super easy to make but make a big impact on a simple layer cake.
Chocolate Pocky Hearts are very simple to make. You drizzle melted chocolate in a heart shape over a Pocky. Finally, decorate it with sprinkles. You can find Pocky Biscuit Sticks on the international aisle of almost any grocery store.
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE POCKY HEARTS
- Spread out wax paper on the counter, draw hearts on the paper, and place a Pocky stick on each heart.
- Melt the chocolate.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a decorator bag or zip-top freezer bag.
- Snip the end off the bag and pipe the chocolate into a heart shape. Concentrate on covering the Pocky breadstick.
- Immediately scatter sprinkles over the hearts.
- Once dry, carefully turn the hearts over and repeat the chocolate drizzle on the back.
- Decorate your cake.
HEART OPTIONS
You can make dark chocolate hearts or pink or white. Wilton Candy Melts has a lot of colors.
As well, you could use pretzel sticks for smaller hearts. Pretzel sticks would be great for small hearts on cupcakes. However, the size of the hearts I made was heavy and the stick needed to go into the cake several inches to hold the heart upright. Therefore, I went with Pocky’s. (Plus, Pocky’s are really good to munch on.)
I had white sugar pearl sprinkles but you could use traditional multi-color sprinkles or shiny sugar. Have fun decorating your hearts.
