Chocolate Peanut Butter Heart is a no-bake candy treat featuring a soft, sweet peanut butter filling coated in smooth chocolate. Shaped into hearts, these bites are perfect for Valentine’s Day, gifting, or whenever you’re craving something rich and homemade.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
  • Optional: sea salt, sprinkles, or crushed peanuts for topping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
  2. Shape into hearts using a mold or press into a dish and cut with a cookie cutter. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. Freeze hearts for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  4. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled heart into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, and place back on the tray.
  6. Before chocolate sets, sprinkle with optional toppings if desired.
  7. Chill in the fridge until chocolate is set. Serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter only if it’s well-stirred and not too runny.
  • Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work—choose based on preference.
  • Try adding cinnamon, espresso powder, or crushed pretzels for variation.
  • Let hearts warm slightly before dipping to prevent chocolate cracking.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free butter and plant-based chocolate.
