Ingredients
- 10 graham cracker squares
- Wilton white fondant
- powdered sugar
- Wilton red edible food marker
- pink or white frosting
- small candy hearts
Supplies
- small square cookie cutter
- rolling pin
- toothpicks
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Gently knead the white fondant until pliable. Take a small handful at a time and gently roll out to ¼" thick using the rolling pin. If the fondant gets sticky, use the powdered sugar on your rolling pin and surface to prevent sticking.
- Once the fondant is rolled to about ¼" use the square cookie cutter to cut the fondant into small squares.
- Set the fondant squares on the baking sheet for 30-60 minutes to set.
- After the fondant hardens a bit spread a small amount of frosting on the back of the square and place on top of the graham cracker.
- Use the edible food marker to make 4-5 dashes on on all sides of the square and then a small triangle in the middle.
- Use the toothpick to place a small amount of frosting on the back of the candy heart and then affix onto the 'envelope flap'.
- Repeat with all 10 graham crackers.
