Chocolate Peanut Butter Valentine’s Heart is a delicious dessert, but also great as a homemade gift. You can pack a bunch of these tasty treats and give to someone you love. A homemade gift is always the best way to show just how much you care.
Do you remember my Peanut Butter Christmas Trees and Homemade Reese’s Eggs? To tell the truth, these were both insanely GOOD!!! However, I could not resist to make my homemade Reese’s cups again. But this time in the shape of heart.
Well, peanut butter and chocolate are match made in heaven, right!? I don’t know a single person who does not like Reese’s.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter-room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter-melted
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 10-12 oz. chocolate chopped in small pieces (I used half of semi-sweet and half of milk chocolate) or use good quality candy coating (it’s easier to work with than with real chocolate, if you don’t have too much experience)
Instructions
- Line 8 x 8 inch dish with parchment paper, leaving the paper overhang the sides so you can easily lift it later and set aside.
- Then in a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar vanilla and salt, until sugar dissolve. Next, gradually mix in powdered sugar.
- Press the mixture into prepared dish. Smooth the top with spatula or simply press it with your palms to flatten into about ½ inch thick layer.
- Place it in the freezer until firm enough for cutting.
- When the mixture is firm enough, line a tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using small cookie cutter in the shape of heart, cut out the hearts and place them on the tray. Don’t waste any batter, pick up leftovers, kneed, press with your palms and you will be able to cut out at least a few more hearts.
- Place them in the freezer until firm.
