These delicious peanut butter chocolates have an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth texture. Give them a try if you’re looking for easy homemade dessert ideas, like these soft and chewy peanut butter date cookies, which are another one of my favorite treats.

Ingredients and Substitutions

I prefer to use chopped dark chocolate when making these treats. You can substitute chocolate chips if you’d rather skip the step of chopping the chocolate.

I like to use creamy peanut butter with no added salt or sugar in these treats. You can substitute any type of nut butter or seed butter you prefer.

Sea salt enhances the flavors of the peanut butter and chocolate nicely. You can use any type of sea salt you like in these treats.

How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolates

Start by adding the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
