Ingredients:

1/2 C. milk

1/2 C. sour cream

3 tsp. vanilla extract

3 egg whites

3/4 C. butter, melted

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 C. granulated sugar

1 2/3 C. all-purpose flour

vanilla frosting, any brand

10 oz package of Wilton bright pink candy melts

10 oz package of Wilton light pink candy melts

X mold and O mold – Letter molds

Heart mold

2 small sandwich baggies

Kitchen scissors

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the butter, egg whites, sugar, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract.

Fold in the flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Line a 12 count muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Fill each muffin well about 1/2 way with cupcake batter.

Bake 18-20 minutes. Insert a toothpick around 18 minutes, if it comes out clean the cupcakes are done.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool completely.

While the cupcakes are cooling pour each of the Wilton candy melt colors into separate microwave safe bowls. Place each bowl in the microwave one at a time – heating for 30 second increments, stirring occasionally until melted. Let cool a few minutes.

Scoop the melted chocolate into 1 sandwich baggy.

Snip the corners of the baggies and gently squeeze the melted chocolate from each baggy into your silicone mold filling the X’s, O’s and Hearts.*

Let the chocolates set. To speed up the setting process you can place the molds in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Repeat this step for as many chocolates as you need (you may need to re-heat the candy melts)
