How to Make Heart Peanut Butter Bon Bons
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
- 16 oz can vanilla frosting
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 24 oz chocolate, melted
- 2–3 tablespoons red heart sprinkles
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling. In a large bowl, stir together the vanilla frosting, peanut butter, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add the Graham Cracker Crumbs. Mix in the graham cracker crumbs until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but easy to press and shape.
Step 3: Fill the Heart Mold. Press the mixture firmly into the heart silicone mold and level off the tops. Place the mold in the freezer for 1 hour.
Step 4: Prepare for Cut-Out Hearts. Line a 12-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the pan to about a ½-inch thickness. Freeze for 1 hour.
Freezing helps the hearts hold their shape when dipping.
Step 5: Cut the hearts. Use the heart cookie cutter to cut hearts from the chilled mixture. Re-press scraps into the mold as needed, freezing again before dipping.
Step 6: Dip in Chocolate. Melt the chocolate according to package directions. Dip each heart into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place on parchment paper, then immediately add a few red heart-shaped sprinkles on top.
Step 7: Set the Chocolate. Refrigerate or freeze the bonbons until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once the chocolate is set, these Heart Peanut Butter Bon Bons are ready to enjoy. Serve them on a platter, package them for gifting, or save a few for later — if they last that long.
