Valentine’s Day Love Potion Hot Chocolate

Test Tube Hot Chocolate Add-ins

I decided to fill my test tubes with all different kinds of fun hot chocolate add-ins.  We picked up all the fun treats at the bulk store, and then made up fun names for everything, so they sounded like good ingredients for a love potion.

The labels are made from some pink card stock  and a stamp, and tied them on with a little pink baker’s twine.  They came out looking so cute.

I wasn’t too sure how I was going to stand the test tubes up, but came up with the idea of a simple wood stand.

My sweet brother-in-law Shaun helped me out by drilling 1 inch holes in some 2 x 4’s, and it worked out perfectly.

Love Potion Ingredient Names

I used ten different candy add-ins and here’s what I called them, in case you need some ideas for your own love potion.

Heart Sprinkles -“Sprinkles of Love”

Hersey’s Kisses -“Kisses”

Valentine Jimmies -“Happiness Confetti”

Cinnamon Hearts -“Red Hot Passion”

Mini Valentine Nonpareils -“Pearls of Joy”

Rolo Minis -“Chocolate Caramel Sweetness”

Pink Cotton Candy -“Cupid’s Pillow”

Lip Sprinkles -“Cupid’s Kisses”

Pink and White Mini marshmallows -“Puffs of Affection”

Caramel Squares -“Building Blocks of Love”

Use some Science Beakers

I was also able to find some brand new science beakers and filled them with the hot chocolate and a few other treats.  I labeled the hot chocolate “Base Formula No.1”, and made some pink hot chocolate with some white hot chocolate powder and a little red food colouring, and labeled it “Base Formula No. 2”.

I  also added some whipped cream, labeled “Sweet Dream Clouds” and a little juice called “Devotion Juice”.

Specimen Cups

On the bottom of the cart were some paper cups and straws.

I picked up some pink paper cups and customized them with a “Specimen No. ___“ label.  The labels are attached with a glue stick.  I made a free printable of the cup labels, you can download it here, and print it for your own love potion.

Love Potion Books

I thought it would also be fun to include a few love potion books.  Using some old books, I  covered them with brown paper, and added some fun labels to the fronts.  You can get the free printable here, and add them to some of your books for a fun prop.

I put the pretty heart paper straws in a tall science beaker, and filled another large one with some heart lights.

I had so much fun putting my little love potion making hot chocolate bar together.

If you’re looking for an activity that your kids are guaranteed to love, this one’s a winner!
