Valentine's Day is coming!!! Here are some homemade Reece's Peanut Butter hearts. They are as close as it gets to the real thing. My boyfriend loves Reece's so I made these for him. I haven't got down the dipping or decorating yet. Its harder then it looks dip things in chocolate, and I am not very good at it. Out of about 20, only about 4 came out presentable. I think using the candy melts are easier then using real chocolate, the thinner the coating the easier to work with. Well I am going to pick up my boyfriend from the airport today and I will surprise him with one of these. If he likes it, then we know they are good! Wish me luck!

Directions:
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter and salt.

- Add the milk and mix until it starts to come together.
- Pour out onto a flat surface.
- Knead together until it forms a ball.
- Roll out to desired thickness.
- Cut out whatever shape you like; I like hearts. Place them on a cookie sheet.

Those hearts are the prettiest things ever.
