Notes

We used a heart shape mold to get the peanut butter cups to be shaped liked hearts for Valentine's Day.  You can make these in any shape molds or if don't have molds you can make this in a glass pan.  You can pour the layers into a 8" by 8" baking dish and cut them into pieces once hardened.
