Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

  3. Chill the hearts in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler, stirring continuously until smooth.
  5. Dip each heart in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
