Ingredients & Substitutions

Use any type of chocolate chips. I love dark chocolate, but milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and white chocolate all work well.
Coconut oil helps the chocolate harden quickly. Unrefined coconut oil has a slight coconut flavor. On the other hand, refined coconut oil is neutral.
Conversation candy hearts are so fun! If you cannot find them in stores, they are available on Amazon. If desired, replace with M&M’s.
Lastly, top with sprinkles!
