Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and ½ cup of softened unsalted butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into a lined 9x9 inch baking dish, creating a layer about ½ inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. After the peanut butter layer has firmed, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the mixture.
  4. Melt 12 ounces of chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  5. Dip each heart into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully submerged, then lift out and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Place the dipped hearts on parchment and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  7. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the hearts or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
