Peanut Butter Buckeye Brownie Hearts
Are you looking for the perfect sweet treat for your special Valentine? Well, if they are a peanut butter and chocolate lover, I have got just the thing with these Peanut Butter Buckeye Brownie Hearts! It takes two of the best desserts, brownies and buckeyes, and combines them into one stunning treat.
Let the kids join in on the fun too adding sprinkles and even coating some of them with chocolate. They will feel extra pride when passing out these beautiful chocolate hearts to their friends, knowing they helped!
Impressive Valentine Heart Dessert
This impressive dessert starts with an easy store-bought fudge brownie mix and is topped with a buckeye mixture made with peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham crackers and butter. After you spread the buckeye mixture over the cooled brownies you use whatever small heart cookie cutter you have on hand to cut out the hearts.
After all my hearts were cut out, I piled my scraps in a bowl and snacked on them as I worked on decorating. #NoShame
Decorated Heart Brownies
Next up, we need to make these little bite-sized hearts beautiful. Melt some dark chocolate chips with a little bit of coconut oil or shortening and using an offset spatula spread the chocolate over the top of the hearts. If you are a huge chocolate lover or want to store these for a few days before serving, you can coat the entire heart in chocolate.
If you will be serving them right away, I prefer just a nice chocolate heart on top so people can see that they are peanut butter brownies.
After each heart is coated with chocolate, embellish with sprinkles and store refrigerated! Be sure to add the sprinkles after you add chocolate to each one, or the chocolate may harden too quickly and the sprinkles and nonpareils won’t stick.
Grown Up Valentine Dessert
I brought a tray of these to work and they disappeared in record time! If you make these Peanut Butter Buckeye Brownie Hearts for your Valentine you are sure to get lots of compliments. They truly are an amazingly delicious dessert that are a serious crowd-pleaser.
Kids will obviously love how they taste, but let’s be real. Usually when we go through this amount of work to make an impressive dessert to share, it is somewhat done to impress the grown ups. 😉
