Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter. Warm in the microwave on high for about 10 seconds and stir until smooth. Add the sugars and stir until well combined. Add the pretzel bits and mix thoroughly.

Line baking sheet with a silicone mat or waxed paper. Scoop mixture in rounded teaspoonfulls and roll into balls. Place onto the baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Melt the candy coating (or chocolate chips and shortening) until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and coat completely. Allow extra chocolate to drip off before placing back on the baking sheet. Drizzle with additional chocolate if desired. After all truffles have been dipped, place baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 more minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
