How to make the No Bake Chocolate Covered Raspberry Hearts

First of all, you will want to gather your ingredients together and measure out the quantities. Beat the butter, corn syrup, and raspberry extract together. Then stir in the powdered sugar until a crumbly dough forms. Add the powdered sugar in stages. One half first, and then the second half. Keep stirring until a cookie dough has formed.

Use your hands to work the dough into a ball. It will feel quite stiff. If you feel like it is too dry to form a ball, add a few drops of water. However, be mindful that you do want a stiff dough and not something that is soft to the touch.

Sprinkle some extra powdered sugar on a countertop, or use a large piece of parchment paper, and roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness.

Use a 1-2 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cute heart shapes, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can then roll the dough scraps back out, and repeat until all the dough is used up. Place the tray in the refrigerator and let those cute cookies chill for 30 minutes.

Now it’s time for the chocolate. Place the chocolate chips and remaining butter, or coconut oil if using, in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. You can gently heat it until the chocolate is melted on the stove. If you are using the microwave heat for 15 seconds at a time and stir in between to make sure the chocolate has melted.

Remove the heart dough cookies from the fridge. Using a fork, dip each heart into the chocolate, shake off excess, and place it back on parchment paper. It can be helpful to use a toothpick to push hearts off the fork.

Decorate with sprinkles, if desired, before the chocolate sets. You will need to chill the no-bake cookies in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set and/or you’re ready to serve.

You could melt some colored candy melts instead. You can get red or pink ones to really help you continue with a Valentine’s theme.

Notes

You can use coconut oil in the chocolate coating in place of butter if desired. The coconut oil is thinner, which makes coating the hearts a little easier, but you will need to keep them stored in the refrigerator or a very cool place since coconut oil melts easier.
