Peanut Butter Chocolate Hearts (Homemade Reese's)
I love Reese’s hearts around Valentine’s Day! These taste just as wonderful as the actual thing, but make a darling gift to package up and give to friends and loved ones.
Serving24 hearts
Ingredients
- ¾ peanut butter (creamy)
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1½ cup powdered sugar
- 24 ounces milk chocolate chips, (2 bags chocolate chips; you can also use semi sweet)
Instructions
- 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. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them.
Notes
If you want the heart mold I used, you can find it here.
No mold? No worries! You can roll the peanut butter into balls and dip them balls into the chocolate!
