Are you looking for some fun Valentine's Day crafts that double as a delicious treat to make with your kids? These three Wonderful Halos crafts - Chocolate-Dipped Hearts, Cupid's Bow and Heart Balloons were originally created by Jodi Levine and shared with us by the Wonderful Halos team.
For this project we were sent supplies from Wonderful Halos which included their Halos mandarin orange and lots of other materials for both the crafts. If you don't have these exact materials, I am sure can improvise with similar items.
Chocolate-Dipped Hearts Supplies:
- 1 Wonderful Halos mandarins
- 12oz bag of chocolate chips (white, dark, milk or semi-sweet chocolate)
- Serrated knife
- Cutting board
- Two small microwave safe bowls
- Wax paper
- Sprinkles
- Peel a Halos mandarin and separate into segments. Place pairs of segments onto a cutting board facing in opposite directions to create a ‘V’.
- Use the knife to cut a small piece on each end of the segment, at an angle about 1/3”.
- Place the chocolate chips into a bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for an additional 15 seconds before stirring again. Repeat until the chocolate is melted.
- Dip the Halos mandarin segment pairs into the melted chocolate and place onto wax paper to form hearts. Add sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Cupid's Bow Supplies:
- 1 Wonderful Halos mandarins
- 1 can of vanilla frosting
- Serrated knife
- Cutting board
- Toothpicks
- Heart sprinkles
- Peel a Halos mandarin and separate into segments.
- Place two segments onto a cutting board facing in opposite directions to create a ‘V’.
- Use the knife to cut a small piece on each end of the segment, at an angle about 1/3”. Slide the two halves together to make a heart shape.
- Push a toothpick through the two halves, diagonally, until it is sticking out a bit on both ends.
- Repeat steps above 3x.
- Use a new toothpick to apply a little frosting to each end of the toothpicks inserted into the heart-shaped mandarin segments to act as glue. Place a heart sprinkle on top of each end, with the point facing towards the left.
- *Make sure to remove the toothpick before serving to children.

Wonderful Halos are an excellent source of Vitamin C. One serving (two medium mandarins) contains 50% of the recommended daily value. Halos are also a great source of fiber and provide a natural energy boost. Use their store locator here to find them near you.
