How to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Hearts
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and powdered sugar.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then remove the bowl and give it a stir. Place the bowl back into the microwave and repeat the process until you stir the chocolate and it’s smooth and melted.
- In your heart tray, place enough chocolate in the heart shape to cover the bottom of the mold.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of your peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate (you can kind of mold it into a flat heart shape or leave it in a ball shape – whatever you prefer).
- Cover the peanut butter with more melted chocolate until the heart mold is full.
- Stick in the refrigerator or freezer until hardened.

No heart mold? No worries! You can roll the peanut butter into balls and dip them balls into the chocolate!
