Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate for the best results. A higher cocoa content will give a richer flavor.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to mix with the chocolate.
- Chill the chocolate mixture before rolling it into balls. This will help the chocolate to set and make it easier to handle.
- Use a variety of toppings to decorate the candies. Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even edible glitter can be used to add a festive touch.
- Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
