Indulge in these delightful Chocolate Peanut Butter Valentine’s Hearts, perfect for celebrating love with a sweet and savory treat.

Scale

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

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated and you have a thick mixture.
Shape the mixture into heart shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
Melt the chocolate (or candy coating) in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter heart into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated, and place back on the baking sheet.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting before serving.

For a more pronounced flavor, use high-quality chocolate. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the set hearts for a decorative touch.
