Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 whole graham crackers crushed
- 1 pound chocolate
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter, powdered sugar, and peanut butter.
- Add the crushed graham crackers to the peanut butter mixture, mixing well.
- To create the heart shapes, roll out the peanut butter filling on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin; roll to about 3/4 inch thickness.
- Cut heart shapes with a small heart shaped cookie cutter.
- Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl; and melt, starting at 30 seconds, then stirring every 15-20 seconds, 'til melted and smooth.
- Dip the hearts in chocolate, using tongs or a candy dipping tool. Once you do a few, you start to get a knack for it, and it becomes easier.
- Drip off excess chocolate after dipping, and place the candies on a wax paper covered cookie sheet.
- Place the chocolate dipped candies in the fridge to chill, so the chocolate coating can harden. Serve when ready!
