We make these with chocolate kisses and it is my brother's favorite cookie- no need to wait until the Nestle Crunch heart shaped chocolates are in the stores! Great hit at parties, too!
Heartfelt Treat!

Steph Garrison from COTTAGE GROVE, MN

These little gems aren't just for Valentine's Day! They turned out absolutely delicious (and I'm not even a big Butterfinger fan-I couldn't put them down!) and were very easy to make! I will definitely make these again!

My first treat!

Leah Falls from Sherman Oaks, CA

I'm venturing into baking and choose this as my first treat. Since I'm not baking savvy it took me a bit longer to complete, but the outcome was worth it! My sweetheart loved these "sweetheart cookes"!
Easy and yummy

PEGGY SOWDEN from SHAKOPEE, MN

These are easy and good cookies. I made them with the 'kisses'. They tasted good and are easy to make. All ingredients right out of the pantry. The basketball team I made them for gobbled them up.

Julie Taylor from GRAND RAPIDS, MI

These cookies are quick and easy to make, taste wonderful, and they are so cute with the holiday shapes.<3 Hearts for today!<3 My family loves Peanut Butter Cookies and Butterfingers, and this combo really works! Thanks!
Delicious cookies!

NANCY SHIELDS from CEDAR PARK, TX

I couldn't find Butterfinger hearts so I used peanut butter hearts. I recommend only letting them sit on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute after placing the hearts as they will melt and begin sliding if you take the cookies off at an angle. Try using a metal spatula and keeping them straight. Yum!
Moist and delicious

Debra Grady from OAK LAWN, IL

Amazing cookies

Jennifer Clark from Amelia, OH

My husband and little girl just loved these cookies. They loved the taste and how they just melted in your mouth. I loved how easy they were to make. It is a wonderful recipe to make when you have young kids and very little time to bake.
Sweetheart cookies

Kathy Bright from Duncanville, TX

These are wonderful. I made them for a cookie exchange and they were a real success. They stay soft and chewy which seemed to be a big hit with my friends. It take a little while for the hearts to cool and set-up if you are planning on stacking them on a tray or plate, so allow time. I put mine in the fridge for a couple of minutes to speed up the process.
Great cookie!

Peanut allergy? Try Almond Butter!

Zonda from Antioch, California

I substituted almond butter for the peanut butter and Hershey's kisses for the butterfinger jingles because my kids are allergic to peanuts. The cookies still turned out great! We loved them.
Good stuff
