Easy Sugar Hearts Recipe
I am in love with these hearts.
Rather I *heart* these hearts. I amuse myself. Sigh
These sugar hearts are super simple and fun to make – kids can help! I also will list the items I used and link for you to snag them to make this treat very easy to make
These hearts are PERFECT for Valentine’s Day – serve them with coffee instead of sugar cubes. HOW Romantic π
One thing I must tell you is that these hearts are pretty hardy. Once they are set you can handle them with ease – think of them as a sugar cube ( which is basically what they are π )
I actually did an Amazon order for this recipe for the mini heart cutter and the gel food coloring ( you can pick these goodies up at Michaels)

Gel Food Coloring Set ( you can buy just pink at Michaels) go HERE
One funny story from making this recipe:
Once you cut the hearts out of the sugar ( which is rolled out) you are suppose to leave it for 2 – 3 hours to set
BUT I wanted to snap the picture before the natural light was gone so I put the hearts outside since it is around low 40s here in Portland, OR
I checked 20 minutes later and they were ready for their photo π
I had a hard time trying to think how to snap the picture for recipe but my dad helped me π Here he is trying to figure out the arrangement π
I really hope you make this recipe – I love when y’all leave feedback on what you thought – simply leave a comment on the recipe
This is the color I got from using ONLY 1 drop of the gel food dye! I am pretty impressed – though the light in the picture above make them look really pink not too sure what happened there

Love You Guys!
Easy Sugar Hearts Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tsp of water
- ½ Cup of White Sugar
- 1 Drop of Pink Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine water, sugar, and food coloring
- Mix very well - make sure the color is completely even and the sugar mixture has an almost dough like consistency
- Roll out the sugar mixture onto parchment paper - the thickness is up to you
- Dip your heart cutter into water ( I found this helpful for cutting cleanly ) place the heart onto the parchment - keep cutting till you have as many as you want
- Wait 2 - 3 hours and let them firm up
- Place in a air tight container if you want to keep them for a while or use right away - makes about 20 hearts
- Enjoy !
