These look delicious! Love anything chocolate and peanut butter and being heart shaped makes it even better

Yum!!! Chocolate in any shape is delish to me... thanks for the recipe, I will be making these for Valentine's Day. Oh and you might want to check your local 99 cent or Dollar Tree stores for these heart shapes molds... because at $10 ea is a little much for my pockets. I found these at my local Dollar Tree just last week :) and actually... I pretty much see these every year at my local discount store. Just FYI.

These look mouth watering! Soooo making these! Thx!

Come to mama!! These look absolutely amazing. Mmm!!
-
These look so stinkin' good! Peanut butter & chocolate are a combo made in heaven. I gotta make these!

I'm so happy I found this! I too am on a budget this year and was looking for something adorable and handmade I could do. When I found these hearts and saw that you had used them for an inexpensive gift I knew I had to make them. I was lucky to get the last heart candy mold pan at Walmart (Jessie I wish I had seen your comment about the dollar store earlier! But I paid $3 for mine so not too bad). I just got done making them and popped them in the freezer, hopefully the s/o will love them tomorrow!

When I made this my mixture wasn't creamy like yours. It was dry and crumbly. Can you tell me what I did wrong? I followed the recipe but not sure what happened. :( Thanks for your help. Elizabeth

I've made something similar and when it comes out too dry I just add a little extra melted butter.

Recipe sounds great, but what happens when you package them? do they tend to melt?? or get soft?
