Use a heart shaped silicone mold to make your heart shapes. You can purchase these at Amazon, Walmart or Target. See step 9, if you don’t have heart molds to make heart shapes.

In a microwave-safe bowl, place half (1 cup) of the chocolate chips and half (1 tablespoon) of the coconut oil and microwave in 30-second increments, stir, and stir in between each increment until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Scoop about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate into each of the heart mold. Use a small spoon to spread it around and up the sides just a little bit, then place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.

While the chocolate hardens in the freezer, make the peanut butter mixture.

In a medium sized bowl, add the peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt and mix together with a spoon or fork until well combined.

Remove the silicone pan from the freezer. The chocolate should be firm. Use a tablespoon cookie scoop or a tablespoon and scoop the peanut butter mixture on top of the each of the chocolate cups, and if you want to press down the mixture a bit with your hands you can or you can put the peanut butter mixture in a pastry bag and snip a hole and pipe it into the heart mold, that's what I did and it makes it easy. Place the pan in the freezer while you make the chocolate for the tops of the peanut butter cups.

Melt the other cup of chocolate chips and the last tablespoon of coconut oil, as you did before. Scoop a teaspoon or two of chocolate on top of the peanut butter and spread immediately with a small spoon if needed, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt, or chopped salted peanuts, if desired.

Place the peanut butter cups in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set. Once set, enjoy!

To make heart shaped peanut butter cups without the silicone molds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Make the peanut butter mixture and then roll the peanut butter dough on your counter with a rolling pin about a ½ inch or so. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make heart shapes. If your dough is to creamy, add a tablespoon or two of more powdered sugar to thicken it up. Freeze the peanut butter hearts for 20-30 minutes so they are firm enough to dip into the melted chocolate. Melt 2 cups of the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and let set for a few minutes before dipping the peanut butter hearts. Don’t take the peanut butter hearts out of the freezer, until you’re ready to dip because they thaw really quick. If they start to thaw, just put them back in the freezer for a flash freeze for abut 5 minutes or so and continue dipping them in the chocolate. Place the dipped hearts on the lined baking sheet and then sprinkle with some coarse sea salt or salted chopped peanuts. Place the peanut butter cups in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set. Once set, enjoy!
