I wanted to go to See's candy and get Julio his favorite chocolate, which is peanut butter filled. We had a busy day and week, so I didn't make it over there (it isn't very close by at all) and so I had bought this heart shaped muffin tin earlier this week for another project and thought, I can make the chocolates! I just greased the muffin tin with butter, melted milk chocolate chips in the double boiler, poured some chocolate into the bottoms of the hearts, then put a dab of peanut butter in and poured a little more melted chocolate on top to cover the peanut butter. We both thought it was better than the real deal! Mostly because the professionals usually use peanut butter filling that has a bunch of other ingredients and we think it tastes great to just use regular peanut butter. Yum! :)
We decorated the play room with some heart lights and some heart cut outs we made from some crayon shavings melted between two pieces of wax paper, then cut into heart shapes. I had made some of these for our apartment at Stanford and couldn't resist again, they are so pretty in the day time. The sun shines on them and catches the color in them kind of like a stain glassed window. I love it!

Mmmmmm! I am definitely going to try those peanut butter candies. Your recipe reminds me of the peanut butter cups that I make. They really do taste better than the store brands that are filled with high fructose corn syrup.
