Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
1 pkg (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
½ cup evaporated milk
Optional coatings:
Cocoa powder
Chopped nuts
Confectioners sugar
Flaked coconut
Makes about 3 dozen truffles.
Place chocolate morsels in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds. (The bits won't look as if they are melting, but they are.) Stir the bits around with a spoon, leaving a space in the middle. Microwave on HIGH another 30 seconds and stir again until smooth and creamy. If lumps persist, microwave another 15-20 seconds on HIGH, then stir again.
Add peanut butter to melted morsels and stir to blend. Add evaporated milk and blend well. Chill mixture one hour in the refrigerator.
Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture and form into balls. Roll in desired coatings. Refrigerate until serving.
