O.k. you will want to chop about 6 candy canes.

 and put it in the pot that has water in it.  Then, put it on the burner
set the burner close to boil.

and see if they are done melting. 
If done melting take it off the burner  (don't forget to turn off the burner).
Then take your spoon and pour your
chocolate in the candy cane hearts.
Then  take your crushed candy canes 
and pour a little of the crushed candy cane in the chocolate
heart. Lastly, take your spoon and mix it up and wait for it to harden.
