Valentine's Hot Chocolate on a stick DIY

Came across these at Target and I wanted to share an easy DIY for them too. They cost $1.00 a piece but can be duped for much less. 

With Valentine's just around the corner, I've been looking for inspiration for things to make for gifts. These could be given to friends, teachers, coworkers and anyone who loves hot cocoa.

What you will need:

Double boiler or glass bowl to go over top of pot of simmering water

Heart shaped chocolate mold, ice trays work great I got a heart shaped one from IKEA for $1

Stir sticks or a bag of wooden craft sticks, can even use sucker sticks

Ziploc baggie or piping bag. 

Cellophane wrap or treat bag

Option 1:

Ingredients:
8 oz. chocolate bittersweet, semisweet, milk, and white chocolate all work (I used Andes Mints baking chocolate) 
3 Tbsp cocoa, sifted
6-8 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar, sifted, depending on how much sweeter you’d like your hot chocolate
pinch of salt

Giver's blog has the best directions on making hot chocolate on a stick. http://www.giverslog.com/?p=3290

Option 2:

Just use baking chocolate and heat in microwave. Fill mold with ziploc bag or piping bag. Always tap the chocolate in the mold on a surface to release air bubble. Stick the stick straight up after the chocolate has hardened a little.
