Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) coconut oil
Instructions
- Gently melt chocolate and coconut oil in microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals until glossy and uniform.
- Lightly coat silicone heart molds with non-stick spray to ensure easy chocolate release.
- Carefully distribute first layer of chocolate into each heart-shaped cavity, tilting mold to create even chocolate coating. Chill in freezer for 10 minutes until completely solidified.
- Whisk peanut butter and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy, creating a consistent filling texture.
- Delicately spoon peanut butter mixture into center of each chocolate shell, leaving slight margin around edges.
- Pour remaining melted chocolate over peanut butter layer, ensuring complete coverage and smooth surface.
- Return filled molds to freezer for 10-15 minutes until chocolates are fully set and firm to touch.
- Gently remove heart-shaped candies from silicone molds by carefully pressing bottom of each cavity.
- Store finished valentines hearts in refrigerator until ready to serve, maintaining their elegant shape and rich flavor.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more decadent flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Opt for room temperature peanut butter to ensure smooth, even mixing and prevent lumpy texture.
- Create dairy-free version by selecting vegan chocolate chips and plant-based peanut butter alternatives.
- Store these heart-shaped treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks, making them perfect for advance preparation.
