Servings: 30 -35
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cup crushed crisped rice cereal measure out then crush
- 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and melted butter together in a large bowl.
- Add powdered sugar and rice krispies. Mix until combined.
- Line 8 x 8 inch dish with parchment paper, let the paper overhang the sides for an easy lift later.
- Pour the PB mix into dish, and press into about 1/2 inch thick layer.
- Chill until firm (15-20 minutes in the freezer should do it).
- Cut hearts from the PB mix with cookie cutters. The 1.5 inch cutter makes a bite size treat and the 2.25 inch cutter makes a treat similar in size to a Reese’s.
- Re-roll the scraps of PB mix and cut more hearts. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before chocolate coating.
- Melt chocolate in microwave by heating for 30 seconds then stirring and repeating process until it is melted and smooth.
- Place a toothpick in each peanut butter heart and dip each into the chocolate and roll around until coated.
- Place the chocolate coated heart on a separate cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Remove the toothpicks from each peanut butter heart.
- Place the hearts back in the freezer to let the chocolate set. It should take an hour or two.
- Best to store these in the freezer as well. If you store these in the fridge, they will become slightly soft.
