Steps:
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate squares on high power for 1 minute.
- Stir chocolate and microwave for another minute or until chocolate is melted.
- Remove bowl from the microwave and mix in peanut butter until smooth.
- Let the mixture sit until it has cooled to room temperature.
- Mix in whipped topping and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Shape the mixture into one inch balls.
- Using a melon baller or teaspoon may make this easier.
- Roll the balls in your choice of coatings.
- This part is the most fun!
- Be creative!
- Store the balls in the refrigerator until serving or gift-giving time.
- These would make a nice gift if you placed the balls in paper candy holders and wrapped them up in a decorated tin or plastic container.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES
Peanut Butter and Chocolate are just 2 of my taste addictions. These truffles are fantastic, better than the peanut butter cups I used to devour while I was growing up.

PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES
These are my family's favourite holiday treat. Where we live the kids call them "Moose Droppings", but don't let that keep you from trying them...they are decadent! Cook time is the time it takes to dip them in the chocolate.

Steps:
- Mix the first four ingredients together well.
- Shape into 1 inch balls.
- Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
- *I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
- I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
- *If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).
