Ingredients

- 16 ounce creamy peanut butter (JIF or similar)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 20 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, confectioners' sugar, fine sea salt, vanilla extract, and whole milk. Use a spatula or whisk to blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- While the filling chills, prepare the chocolate. Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the semi-sweet chocolate, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Once the peanut butter filling has chilled, scoop out a small amount and roll it into a small ball, then flatten it slightly into a heart shape.
- Dip each peanut butter heart into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated heart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
