I love homemade peanut butter cups! They are one of my favorite and most requested treats to make. And it is so fun to make different shapes with them. In this case, awesome peanut butter cup hearts.

Have someone special in your life that likes peanut butter cups? Make these peanut butter cup hearts for them on Valentine’s Day or any time of the year. Maybe for their birthday, or just an out of the blue treat. Oh, and by the way, they totally taste better than Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is one of the most amazing treat combinations around. And these fun little desserts are so easy to make without cooking or baking. If I can do it, you can do it! Let’s get started.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of peanut butter 120g
1/2 cup of powdered sugar 50g may need more or less
1 tsp. to 2 tsp. of melted butter unsalted or salted (5 to 10g)
1/2 tsp. of salt 2g
4.5 to 9 oz of chocolate milk chocolate, dark, semi-sweet, candy melts, etc. (124 to 248g)

**Instructions
**

Melt the butter and add it to a large bowl. Add the peanut butter and mix together. Then add the salt and the powdered sugar about 1 half to 1 third at a time. Mix until you have a play dough consistency. Add more powdered sugar if it is too sticky.

Melt whatever chocolate that you want to use in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or use the double-boiler method.
Fill each heart cavity with about 1/4-inch deep chocolate. Then take some peanut butter mixture with clean hands or wear food prep gloves and shape it into a small heart that is smaller than the mold. Rest that on top of the chocolate. Then fill chocolate on top.
