Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar add more if needed
- pinch or 2 of salt
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 2 Butterfinger Bars chopped up
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, butter, salt and brown sugar and heat until melted stirring constantly. Mixture will bubble, so make sure you keep stirring. Remove from the heat.
- Add the powdered sugar a little at a time, stirring until completely combined with the peanut butter mixture. Mixture should be thick like a cookie dough. Add 1 1/2 of the chopped Butterfingers into the mixture and mix in. It's ok if the candy melts a little.Once mixed in, let mixture cool down if mixture is too hot to handle by letting mixture come to room temperature or put in refrigerator if you want to speed up the process for about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the candy dough to a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Roll the candy dough out on parchment lined baking sheet with a rolling pin or flatten out with hands 1/2 inch thick. Use cookie cutter and make your shapes and place back on baking sheet. Once shapes are cut out, reroll dough and make more hearts.
- Transfer baking sheet to fridge for candies to firm up about 20-30 mins.
- Once the hearts are set, melt the chocolate chips and shortening together in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until completely melted. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- Use a long-tined fork to flip each heart when dipping it in melted chocolate to cover, then shake off excess chocolate and place on waxed paper. Add remainder of Butterfinger crumbles on top of each dipped heart.
- Return the chocolate-covered peanut butter hearts to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set, about 10-15 minutes.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
Can also scoop dough using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll into balls to coat instead of heart shapes.
