Description

Chocolate Peanut Butter Valentine’s Hearts are a homemade, indulgent treat perfect for Valentine’s Day or any occasion. These Reese’s-inspired delights feature a rich peanut butter center wrapped in a silky chocolate shell, creating a mouthwatering combination that’s impossible to resist.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Heart:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet, depending on your preference)
  • Sprinkles or crushed peanuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. The consistency should be thick but scoopable.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
  3. Mold the Chocolate Hearts: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each heart-shaped mold. Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon. Freeze for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
  4. Add the Peanut Butter Filling: Scoop a small amount of peanut butter mixture into each mold. Press it gently to form an even layer.
  5. Cover with Chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, smoothing it out with a spoon or spatula. Freeze for 15-20 minutes until set.
  6. Unmold and Serve: Once the chocolate is hardened, remove the hearts from the molds. Garnish with sprinkles, crushed peanuts, or powdered sugar, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate: For the best flavor, use good-quality chocolate chips or bars.
  • Chill between layers: Let the chocolate set between layers for a cleaner finish when assembling the hearts.
  • Don’t overfill: Be careful not to overfill with the peanut butter mixture as it can cause the hearts to break apart when unmolding.
