Cooking, Peanut Butter Truffles

I am a big fan for chocolate and peanut butter... Who isn't?  Really, it is kind of hard to mess up these two when they are put together.  I am also a fan of minimum ingredients. 4-5 ingredients are some of my favorite recipes. Here is one to add to the books: PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES. 

Ingredents:

Room temp 16 oz Peanut Butter

1/4 cup room temp butter

2 and 1/4 cup Confectioner  sugar 

1 lb Melted chocolate

Directions:  Add the peanut butter and butter into a mixing bowl.  Cook it in the microwave for 30 sec.  Mix and add the Confectioner Sugar half cup at a time. 

It will end up having a dough constancy like like this: 

Roll the dough with clean hands into 30 even balls. (give or take) I put them into the freezer for 30 minutes so they would harden. 

I like to do this next part 1/3 at a time.  Take 1/3 of a lb of melted chocolate.  Put in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir.  Take 10 peanut butter balls out of the freezer.  Drop the ball into the chocolate mixture.  Take a toothpick and paint strips on the top or wiggle it like a wand over the ball. I also dipped some completely in chocolate.  Do this step separately two more times. 

Put them in the fridge for an hour and they are done!  Here is pictures of the two finale products:
