Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter truffles - with a Crispy Twist

                                                       Ingredients -

1 stick of butter

3 cups of confectionery sugar

2 cups of chunky peanut butter (best quality results in a better truffle)

3 cups of crushed rice crispies

1 bag of chocolate morsels (minis will melt quicker)

½ stick of paraffin wax (for shine and stability of chocolate)

Melt Butter, add peanut butter and mix well.  Add crushed crisp rice cereal and confectionery sugar in alternating amounts until all is mixed well.  Scoop and roll the truffle center batter into balls.

In a separate either double boiler or sauce pan gently melt the chocolate and paraffin wax.

Roll out parchment paper on a flat surface for drying and setting up Truffles.  Take peanut truffle ball and roll in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to cool and set.  Allow air dry on parchment on a flat surface – avoiding placing in refrigerator, this will for white moisture and not allow the chocolate to dry properly.
