Description

These Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Hearts are a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the peanuts, enveloped in a smooth, velvety chocolate coating that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Peanut Butter Filling:
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolate Coating:
    • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  2. Using your hands, form the mixture into heart shapes, about 1 inch thick, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Freeze the peanut butter hearts for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  4. While the hearts are freezing, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Remove the hearts from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  6. Return the chocolate-covered hearts to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • These hearts can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a different flavor, substitute almond butter for peanut butter.
  • Use dark chocolate or white chocolate for a variation in flavor.
