Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy recommended)
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a firm, pliable dough forms.
- Roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness on a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar or parchment paper. Use a 1.5-2 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the hearts in the freezer for 30 minutes, or refrigerator for 1 hour, until very firm.
- Melt chocolate chips and optional coconut oil in a microwave (30-second intervals, stirring) or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each chilled heart into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, add sprinkles or sea salt immediately.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
