Easy Valentine's Day treats

Ingredients

• 1 small container Strawberry Jell-O (3‑oz flavored gelatin powder, prepared according to package directions and cut into small cubes)
• 2 cups Water (For dissolving the Jell‑O; use boiling water then chill)
• 1 tub Cool Whip (8‑oz tub, kept chilled)
• 8 oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Half of a 16‑oz container, softened)
• 1 cup Diced Strawberries (Approximately half a pint, fresh or thawed from frozen)
• 4 oz Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate (Chopped for melting; use high‑quality dark chocolate)
• 1 tsp Edible Glitter (Optional, for decorative sparkle)

1. Prepare Strawberry Fluff Mixture

   In a medium mixing bowl combine the Cool Whip, softened cream cheese, half of the diced strawberries, and the prepared strawberry Jell‑O cubes. Mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Add Chocolate Drizzle

   Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top of each filled heart, allowing it to flow down the sides. Use the spoon to spread any excess.

7. Final Freeze

   Place the molds back in the freezer for at least 5 minutes (or overnight for best firmness) until the chocolate is completely set.
