I love Valentine’s Day, but my hips don’t.  If you give me a box of chocolates, I will eat it!  So I whipped-up some calorie-free, faux chocolates.  Tucked into an old chocolate box (of which I have more than a few, ahem), they make a darling Valentine vignette.  Or pack up a few as party favors.  Here’s the recipe:

 

Button Bon Bons for Valentine's Day

 

Button Bon Bons

Ingredients:

  • Brown felt, cut into 3″ circles.  I just traced the bottom of a can to get my circle.  Use light and dark brown colored felts for milk and dark chocolates!  White works too.
  • Needle & thread
  • Stuffing
  • Buttons.  The colors in Buttons Galore & More Confection Button Jar are perfect!
  • Mini-cupcake wrappers
  • Craft glue
  • Candy box

Instructions:

  1. Sew a running stitch around the outside of the felt circle.  Pull ends like you are making a yo yo.  Before tying them, stuff the bon bon .
  2. Sew buttons onto top of felt bon bon.  Get creative!  Stack them up!
  3. Apply some glue to the bottom of a mini-cupcake wrapper, and place the felt bon bon into the wrapper.
  4. Arrange the bon bons in a candy box.
  5. Enjoy them, guilt-free!
