Peanut Butter Love

A Valentine Treat for my Etsy shop, JulseyMarie

I wanted a cookie that would be perfect for a Valentine treat.  One that would be fun to make and be easy to ship.  A cookie that someone could buy for a special someone. Or even themselves. 

I love peanut butter blossoms but was afraid the 'kiss' on the cookie would get knocked off in shipping.  I found these Dove milk chocolate hearts and thought they would be perfect.  Topped with a pink tinted milk chocolate drizzle for effect.  I think this is the perfect treat for a Valentine sweet.
