Description
A luscious peanut butter core meets glossy melted chocolate, forming crisp-edged hearts that snap satisfyingly. Scattered Valentine’s sprinkles bring bursts of color and crunch. Chill until firm for a festive, shareable treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Valentine sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a heart shaped silicone mold with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking oil.
- In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until a firm dough forms.
- Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into each heart cavity of the mold.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil, then heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
- Pour melted chocolate over each peanut butter heart, spreading to cover the tops, then sprinkle Valentine sprinkles on while chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
- Gently remove hearts from the mold and serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Notes
- For easy release, use flexible silicone molds instead of metal pans.
- Dark chocolate chips can be substituted for a richer flavor.
- Store finished hearts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow hearts to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
