Gather your ingredients and prepare for a tasty adventure!

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Roll the mixture into small balls or flatten it into a disc, then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape them as desired.
Refrigerate the shaped hearts for about 30 minutes to help them firm up; this will make dipping easier.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in short 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter heart into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on a sheet of parchment paper.
Let the hearts set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate them until the chocolate hardens completely.
Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate peanut butter hearts! Share them with loved ones or savor them all for yourself!
