Chocolate Peanut Butter Heart Cups

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Makes 12 cups

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces milk chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

  • Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 4 minutes.
  • Spoon about a teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cavity of a 12 cup silicone heart mold, tilting to coat the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  • Refrigerate the mold for 10 minutes, until the chocolate layer is fully set and cool to the touch.
  • In a small bowl, stir the peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt together until smooth and thick enough to hold a shape.
  • Spoon about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into each chocolate-lined cavity, pressing it flat and leaving room at the top for a final layer.
  • Gently rewarm the remaining chocolate if it has thickened, then spoon it over the peanut butter layer in each cavity, covering it completely.
  • Sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt over the tops while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until fully firm, then press gently on the back of the mold to release each cup.

Good to Know

Swap sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter if anyone at the table has a peanut allergy; the texture holds up the same way.
