Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and ½ cup of softened unsalted butter. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Transfer the peanut butter mixture into a parchment-lined 9x9 inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
While the hearts are freezing, melt 8 ounces of chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Remove the peanut butter mixture from the freezer and cut into heart shapes. Dip each heart into the melted chocolate.
Place the chocolate-dipped hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
