Chocolate Locket Pinata Hearts
Chocolate
Fillings
Since we are technically making chocolate pinatas you definitely need some tasty fillings to fill the chocolate hearts. This is where you can get creative and fill them with your favorite treats. I used crystallized ginger, nuts, dry fruit and M&M candies. You can also use other treats for instance freezer drier fruit, caramel, peanut butter filling.
Decorate Chocolate Hearts
To decorate the tops I glued pretty Chocolate Pearls into a heart shape. These fun chocolate pearls are pretty small to handle with fingers. I used tweezers to arrange them on the top of a chocolate shell. You can also use sprinkles to decorate 3D chocolate heart lockets.
Over the years I used variety of tweezers for cookie and cake decorating. Blue ones are super cheap and I’ve had them for years. Couple of years ago I bought sewing tweezers and they are my new favorite. The tips have grooves for easier application.

Hi I love the idea with peanut butter filling. Did you just mix peanut butter with icing sugar pls? Love to try them for the kids. Thank you x
Hi Magdalena,
yes you can add powdered sugar. That’s what I did. You can control how sweet you want it. And add a splash of vanilla extract, too.
