Chocolate Peanut Butter Heart is a rich, no-bake treat made with a creamy peanut butter base and smooth chocolate topping, molded into a heart shape. It’s a perfect, easy dessert for holidays or edible gifts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
  2. Press the mixture evenly into a heart-shaped silicone mold or a parchment-lined baking dish.
  3. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  4. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter base and spread evenly.
  6. Return to the freezer or fridge until the chocolate is fully set, about 20 minutes.
  7. Once firm, remove from mold or cut into heart shapes if using a pan. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Top with flaky sea salt, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets for added texture and decoration.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for more texture, or swap in almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • Let chocolate sit at room temperature before slicing to prevent cracking; use a warm knife for clean cuts.
  • Dark chocolate can be used for a richer version.
  • Can be shaped in a square pan and cut with cookie cutters if no mold is available.
