February=valentine's day=chocolate-right? I'll take love over candy any day, but chocolate is pretty sweet. I have a mild chocolate chip obsession, love chocolate chia pudding, chocolate coconut bliss, and a whole number of truffles. While I failed miserably at making chocolate chip pancakes Valentine's Day morning I redeemed myself with this lil treats. Reese's can eat it's heart out because it has NOTHING on this lil dudes. (Conveniently Reese's ingredients are not listed on the Hershey's website-trying to hide something much?) These lil cups are easy to make, and the dark chocolate and all-natural peanut butter have to give some wonderful health benefits right?Chocolate PB Hearts

holy yum... these are right up my alley! never tried the smoked sea salt... intriguing. thanks so much for sharing. these could get me in trouble.
I think I need to go buy a whole bunch of differently shaped molds so I can make these for ALL occassions. Chocolate PB Cup shamrocks, eggs, flags, flowers, hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers, and blue moons, pots of gold and rainbows, and a red balloon. Yes, I did just start quoting the Lucky Charms tag line there! :-)
I'm dying to make these. Where'd you get the little molds?
My oh my, these sure do look good! I guess it's time for me to give these a try - my kids love chocolate and peanut butter...
These look awesome! Such a healthy take on traditional reeses peanut butter cups.
So pretty and smoked sea salt - I will have to try that since I love regular sea salt and smoked flavoring. Brilliant idea!
