Description
Delicious heart-shaped chocolates filled with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped, or a mixture of both, can also use milk or white chocolate)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy works best)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (add more 1 & 1/2 cups for more sweetness or 1/2 cup for less sweetness, taste to adjust)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons rice krispies or toasted quinoa (for crunch)
Instructions
- Melt 2 cups chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until completely smooth and glossy.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each heart cavity. Use the back of a spoon or brush to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Freeze for 5-10 minutes until set.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened butter with peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt, mixing until thick and moldable. Fold in optional add-ins if using.
- Remove molds from freezer. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter mixture into each chocolate shell. Press gently to flatten, leaving space around the edges.
- Spoon melted chocolate over the filling, covering completely and smoothing the tops. Tap gently to release air bubbles. Freeze for 15-20 minutes until fully set.
- Carefully unmold the hearts. Drizzle with extra chocolate or add sprinkles if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of powdered sugar.
- Using a mixture of chocolates can add complexity to the flavor.
