This simple and easy recipe makes classic, chocolate covered peanut butter truffles that are rich, buttery, creamy, and old-fashioned the way Grandma used to make. Totally no bake, making it a sweet homemade candy that is made quickly.
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly blended. Add the powdered sugar and stir until the mixture has the consistency of sticky play dough.
Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips with the shortening, stirring frequently. If you're using different types of chocolate, melt them in separate batches.
