Chocolate Cashew

Happy almost Valentine’s Day!

Last week, I shared a recipe for S’mores on a Stick.  This week, I am re-posting a recipe I shared last Valentine’s Day.  When I came up with this recipe, I wanted to come up with more of an adult peanut butter cup.  I tried a few different nut combinations, but in the end I liked the combination of peanuts and cashews the best.  The flavors were just perfect with the semi-sweet chocolate.  It turns out, it is also kid friendly, as my daughter often asks me to make them.  Since she is such a chocolate lover, she will get these and the S’mores on a Stick on Valentine’s Day 🙂  These hearts are fairly simple to make, but take a little time and effort to cut out and coat in chocolate.  I make the nut butters, but you can try store-bought nut butters as well.  They freeze exceptionally well, so you can make a large batch and don’t have to worry about them going bad too quickly…not that you will have any left 😉

This is the perfect Valentine’s treat for the nut and chocolate lover in your life.  They have a delicious combination of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors, and are wonderfully indulgent.

    These look great Antonia. Homemade nut butter is tons better than the bought ones 🙂

    Oh Antonia, I really love this idea! Matt adores peanut butter cups and I’ve been trying to come up with a little “I love you” DIY gift that I can make for Sunday. I’m actually going to make these! I can’t wait to give them a try. Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day 🙂
