Robin's Special Truffles

Submitted by Robin S.
Chester, Virginia

1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. smooth peanut butter
1/2 c. half-and-half

On top of stove carefully melt the chocolate chips (or use a microwave oven). They melt quickly. Remove from heat and beat in peanut butter then add the half-and-half a little at a time, beating after each addition.

Chill this for about 1 1/2 hours. Form into small balls and roll in one or all of the following: coconut, ground almonds or other nut, sprinkles (colored and/or chocolate), cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar.

Makes about 3 dozen.

Children can help by doing the rolling into balls and adding the garnishes. They can be put in little candy papers, placed on an attractive tray and given as a gift or served for special events. To me, they taste very European, probably because they aren't too sweet and partly because they are very creamy. This recipe will be keeper!

Try using milk chocolate instead of dark - it'll lighten the flavor a bit.
