Equipment
- Silicone heart molds
- Hand Mixer
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 T brown sugar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating:
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate melted
- 4 ounces milk chocolate melted
- V-day/Pink Sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and salt. Blend together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix again until thoroughly combined and a thick peanut butter dough is formed.
- Take the heart silicone mold and press a large tablespoonful of the peanut butter mixture into each mold. Adding more if needed to fill each slot to the top.
- Once you have used all the peanut butter mixture, place the mold into the freezer for 20 minutes.
- While the hearts harden, melt the semi sweet and milk chocolate over a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals.
- Prep baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove all the hearts from the mold, placing on the baking sheet.
- Dip each heart into the melted chocolate and coat thoroughly. Use a fork to lift the hearts out of the chocolate and gently shake to let the excess drip off.
- Place the heart back onto the parchment covered baking sheet and immediately top with the Valentine's Day sprinkles.
- Repeat with the rest of the hearts and then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to cool completely.
- Package in bags for Valentine's treats or eat immediately!
