Making ganache from scratch is a lot of work, so I used mini bell-shaped castellas. I only had a few lollipop sticks at home, so in a hurry I used Toppo sticks. I'm quite proud of my daughter for refraining from eating these until the very end.

I was careful not to move the chocolates while they were still cooling and hardening. Even if they look somewhat clumsy, I think that these would be good for Valentine's Day gifts for children or your friends. Recipe by Hidemi mama
