This my favorite Valentine’s day cookie, and we make them every year! These probably seem a little overly simplistic, and I guess they are. I think to really appreciate the greatness of these cookies, you have to be someone who also really appreciates the difference between a Butterfinger candy bar and a Butterfinger heart (or jingle bell or Easter egg). Because it’s the texture of the Butterfinger heart that really separates these cookies from your typical peanut butter blossom. Instead of a “crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery” core (like a regular Butterfinger), the whole heart is solid chocolate with crispy bits of that peanut-buttery core throughout. IMHO- SO MUCH BETTER than the candy bar!! If you’re a texture freak like me, you are going to l-o-v-e these Butterfinger Peanut Butter Blossoms.

Ingredients Needed for Butterfinger Peanut Butter Blossoms peanut buttersugareggsButterfinger hearts Recipe Tips & Notes It helps the hearts to hold their shape a little better if you stick these in the fridge or freezer immediately after you press the chocolates into the cookies. I usually just put a hot pad on an empty shelf in the freezer and stick them in there straight out of the oven on the cookie sheet. But you could also transfer the cookies to a cooling rack first and put that in the fridge or freezer.This is my favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies. But more often than not, I’ll use the 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies I’m sharing in today’s recipe for simplicity’s sake. But if you’d like a softer peanut butter cookie that makes a bigger batch, definitely be sure to check out my other recipe for PB Cookies!Also, that sprinkling of sea salt you see on top of my cookies? TOTALLY unnecessary. But I like how it looks in pictures, and I personally love a little extra salt on my cookies. But you would be just fine to not add it!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Butterfinger hearts are my fave. sending Cameron to the store now so I can make these (and eat the extra hearts….multiple bags… by themselves, too). He says thanks.
OMG. She is the cutest thing ever!! And kudos to you for being happy about the sleep deprivation. I’d just be yelling. 🙂 WHY have I never had a butterfinger heart?????
These look yummy! Right in time for Valentine’s Day. Reminds me of my V-day cookies last year. http://www.toddlindsey.com/2013/02/valentine-pb-blossoms.html
I made these except I substituted Dove milk chocolate hearts instead of butterfinger hearts. And also rolled them in different Valentine sprinkles. They are sooooo good and pretty for Valentine’s Day!
