Trim Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Hearts
Updated: Mar 31, 2022
Over the years Valentines day has often been the tipping point in my wife and I's attempts to keep our new year's resolution to start and keep healthy habits. Last year was the first time in a long time that we managed to keep to our eating plan on Valentines day and beyond.
One of the ways we manage to do that is prepping for things like Valentines day in advance. So on a lazy Sunday afternoon I made a bunch of different candies. This post is about peanut butter hearts, but you could sub in the caramel from the Trim Healthy Pecan Squares if you were wanting more of a crunch to it. This recipe is a modified version of Skinny Chocolate recipe with my own additions. If you just want the original recipe check out the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.
To make this recipe in bulk you'll need:
4 Cups of Coconut Oil
2 Cups of Cocoa Powder
2 cups sugar free peanut butter
I wanted to make really big shareable size candy hearts. A form of that size seemed really expensive when we had a bunch of heart shaped cookie cutters sitting around. So I decided to improvise. To make big candy hearts with cookie cutters you'll need.
2 Metal Cookie Sheets that stack
Ice
Aluminum foil
1 or more Heart Shaped Cookie cutters
8 Cup or bigger mixing bowl (preferably with a pour spout) for chocolate Whisk
4 cup or bigger mixing bowl for peanut butter
6 Cup or bigger cooking pot.
