Two little words that are heartfelt, to the point, and easily understood: “I know.” How do you show someone you care? By freezing them in edible carbonite — is there any other way?
These crunchy treats are made with luxurious milk chocolate, filling it with creamy peanut butter. As if that wasn’t enough, take these candies to the next level by topping them off with buttery toffee bits and salty chopped pecans, all molded to look like everyone’s favorite scoundrel frozen in time. Place them into a festive heart-shaped box and you’ve got yourself what’s sure to be a long-remembered show of affection.

Supplies:

Ingredients for chocolate:
8 ounces milk chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Step 3: Pipe the peanut butter on top of the chocolate, into the center of each mold.

Step 8: Place into the heart box, to serve.
