Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:

This is from Eating Well magazine. I haven't made these yet but am planning to make these for Valentine's Day. Cooking time is actually chilling time for this one.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 10

Yield: 20.0 truffles

• 1/2 cup crunchy natural-style peanut butter
• 1/4 cup finely chopped salted pretzel
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted (see Tip)

Directions:

1. Combine peanut butter and pretzels in a small bowl. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 20 balls (about 1 teaspoon each). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour. Roll the frozen balls in melted chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
2. Make Ahead Tip: Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Really, really nice little tasties, & I figure they'll last the 2 of us all of 4 or 5 days, if we pace ourselves as we should! Enjoyed making them & they are a delight to eat! Another time I might try several different chocolate coatings, all the way from dark chocolate to white! {Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
