Strawberry Cream Valentine Melts

Fun Food:

Time to get your Valentine plans together. Cupid will be here before you know it. Eleven days to be exact.

Try these sweet and easy Strawberry Cream Valentine Melts to dress up the conversation.

For this recipe, you will need:

16 oz of powdered sugar (1/2 of a regular sized bag)
2 oz of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Plain white sugar
Light corn syrup
Conversation Hearts
2 squeezes of Strawberry Cream Milk Magic

In a mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, the pink strawberry cream Milk Magic, with the powdered sugar. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl and mix until fully combined (and not sticky!)
Pull off small, 1/2 inch pieces of the mixture and roll them into balls.
Press the balls into a slightly flat shape (seen in the photo above) and then roll it into a bowl of sugar.
Using a small brush, place a dab of corn syrup to the center of the flattened sugar covered ball.
Press a conversation heart into the dough on top of the corn syrup. As the corn syrup dries, it will act like glue and keep the conversation heart in place!
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate in until ready to eat.
Recipe makes about 30 Valentine melts.
