It is seriously ridiculous how easy these are to make, and they are sooo good!!! Great for if you want to bring an impressive looking Christmas treat to your neighbors that take very little effort.
1 package semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 (8 oz.) container of cool whip (left out to room temp.)
Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl, then fill a mug half full of water and place both the bowl and mug in opposite ends of the microwave. Stop and stir the chocolate chips every 30 seconds until completely melted. Add the peanut butter and mix well. Then thoroughly mix in the cool whip. Refrigerate for at least two hours until your chocolate mixture becomes firm enough to handle. Roll the mixture into balls (about the size of a rounded tablespoon), then roll the balls into powdered sugar, coconut, or nuts, or dip in chocolate. Return the balls to the fridge. They taste the best if they stay refrigerated.
Oh my word!! These are awesome! Perfect really-bookmarking this one to try very soon!!! Maybe tomarrow;)
These look great and so easy! I have seen cake truffles and oreo truffles, but never these before. I just might have to try them!
Made these last night. Going to deliver them to my son's Primary teachers. Thanks! (also, I sent the link to my sister to make for her husband. . .a peanut butter addict)
Yummy this will for sure be on my dessert treat tray that I do for my parents and in laws every xmas thanks for sharing.

These were so easy to make a looked wonderful. We also rolled them in chocolate and then rainbow sprinkles. We mistakenly used frozen coconut which was too wet to stick so next time I will use regular coconut. Loved the ones rolled in powdered sugar. My family loves peanut butter and these were great, but for non peanut butter lovers as myself, any suggestion for another ingredient that would be something similar without using the peanutbutter?

I am sure you could substitute Nutella. I haven't done it before but I am sure it would be ok!
