Planning a bachelorette party? Whether your bride is totally in the know or she’s itching for some surprises, small thoughtful touches throughout the weekend are guaranteed to make her feel like the queen she is. It's the little things—those cute details—that transform an ordinary weekend into an unforgettable experience. Yes, planning a bach party is a lot of work, but trust us, when you add these personal touches, it will be all worth it!
Today, we’re showing you how to make a breakable chocolate heart filled with goodies, including your weekend itinerary. Trust us—it’s as adorable and delicious as it sounds. It’s simple to make, and it’s got that wow factor that’ll set the tone for an epic bachelorette weekend.
A breakable chocolate heart isn’t just a fun idea, it’s completely edible (yes, you can eat it all), and it’s something that can be fully customized to your bride’s personality and the vibe of the weekend. While you can certainly buy one pre-made, let’s be honest—DIY is always more fun, and it’s way more affordable. Plus, the best part? You get to stuff it with not just the itinerary, but maybe her favorite candies, mini bottles of champagne, or something that’ll make her giggle!
This easy DIY is a cute way to surprise the bride and set the tone for the entire weekend. Now, let’s get into how to make this chocolate heart and fill it with surprises she’ll love!
STEP 1: Prep the Mold Wash and dry your mold thoroughly, making sure it’s totally clean before you start. Next, place the mold on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for an easy transfer when it’s time to harden.
STEP 2: Melt the Chocolate Now, melt your chocolate! You can use a microwave (just make sure to check it every 30 seconds), but we love the stovetop method for better control over the temperature. Don’t rush it—you want that smooth, silky chocolate! Pro tip: For extra fun, add a little booze (hello, Baileys or vodka!) to the chocolate while it’s melting. It’s a fun twist that’ll have everyone in the Pierogi Princess Nation toasting to the weekend ahead!
STEP 3: Pour the Chocolate into the Mold Once your chocolate is silky smooth, pour it into the mold. Use a pastry brush to spread the chocolate evenly all the way up the sides—this gives it that thick, sturdy texture to hold all your surprises inside!
STEP 4: Chill Out After the chocolate is evenly spread, carefully wipe the edges of the mold and pop it in the fridge to harden. It takes about 10 minutes, but feel free to check it to make sure it's solid. We promise you’ll be so excited when you see that perfect, shiny finish!
STEP 5: Get Creative with the Filling Once the chocolate heart is hardened, carefully peel it away from the mold. Now comes the fun part—decorate! You can add sprinkles, melted chocolate drizzle, or even personalized chocolate letters to make it feel extra special. It’s totally customizable! We used a fun mix of colorful sprinkles and basket filler for an adorable, aesthetic touch. Then, gently lay your weekend itinerary in the center (you can even roll it up like a scroll for extra flair).
STEP 6: Assemble (Or, like us, keep it simple with just one half!) & Surprise! Once everything is filled, carefully place the top of the mold onto the bottom half and seal it shut. If you’re feeling fancy, you can melt a little extra chocolate and use it as glue to make sure the two halves stick together. For extra girl power, tie a cute ribbon around it for a finishing touch. When it’s time to surprise your bride-to-be, just grab that mini hammer and let her break into her sweet, sweet surprise!
For the bride who loves a good drink (who doesn’t?), a little booze inside the chocolate is a must. You can add mini bottles of her favorite alcohol inside the heart, or even mix a splash of flavored liqueur into the chocolate itself for an extra kick. Trust us, she’ll love it!
Want to take it up a notch? You can make this chocolate heart as personalized as you like! Some molds come with letter molds or customizable pieces for a more themed vibe. Add a “Bachelorette Bash” inscription or even the bride’s name. If you’re in Pittsburgh, add a fun Steel City touch to tie it into the local theme—because who doesn’t love a little hometown pride?
This DIY breakable chocolate heart is not just a fun project, it’s the perfect way to make your bride feel extra special and totally surprised. Whether you fill it with candy, itinerary details, or a little something extra (hello, mini booze), this chocolate heart will set the tone for an unforgettable weekend with your besties.
Start your bachelorette weekend off with this cute surprise and let the fun begin! Cheers to you, to love, and of course, to Pierogi Princess Nation—where we’re always making things sweeter! 💕
