Valentine’s Hearts Lollipops

Valentine’s Heart Lollipops are a quick, easy, and delicious treat. They make a fun and festive candy, perfect for sharing!

If you are like me, you still have candy canes left from Christmas stashed in your pantry or around the house in early February. I can’t stand to just throw them away, so I use peppermint in various things until they are used up around Valentine’s Day. They are perfect to serve with my hot chocolate, to make a few more batches of peppermint bark, and to use in these adorable lollipops.

How to Make Easy Heart Lollipops

Ingredients

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.

For this recipe, you’ll need candy canes, candy melts, nonpareils or your favorite sprinkles, colored icing, and lollipop sticks.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Prep. Lay a piece of parchment paper on your counter. Unwrap the candy canes and place two together to form hearts. Repeat until all of the hearts have been formed. Place a lollipop stick in between the bottom tips of the heart shape about 1/2- to 1 inch into the middle of the heart for stability.
• Melt the candy melts. Place the candy melts into a microwave-safe measuring cup with a handle. Microwave according to the package directions to melt the candy melts. Stir until smooth. Pour into the center of each of your heart shapes and spread to the inside edges of the candy canes with the back of a spoon. Repeat until all hearts are filled.
• Decorate. Sprinkle with the nonpareils or your decorations and using colored icing decorate the lollipops. It is fun to write a name, a word, a saying, or to draw a shape like a heart.
• Dry. Allow the lollipop to dry for about 10 minutes or until the candy melts have dried solid. Do not refrigerate or freeze or it will cause the candy canes to become sticky.

Here’s how you make them.
