Emojis show our expressions when we can’t do so with words or face-to-face reality. Texts and social media rely on them. How can you show love without a little heart emoji, or show laughter without tears shooting out of your eyes with a laughter emoji? The internet world tells us, this is impossible, and you should always believe everything you read on the internet (even this, right here, right now.) Since emojis are a part of (we can assume) everyone’s daily life, it’s no wonder they are wildly popular as a party theme as well. What better way to express your feelings than with an emoji party? Here’s some creative ways to showcase your favorite emojis, and yes, you’d better believe there will be smiling poop involved. *insert first bump emoji here*
This recipe/tutorial takes a lot of the effort out in the actual facial design of these emoji by using heart sprinkles (commonly used around Valentine’s Day, of course). It also uses a chocolate mold to keep things neat and clean!
