Delicious
I double the recipe and use dark chocolate chips= My biggest tip is not to process he pretzles to much so there is some crunch to them
Pros: Satisfiyng
Cons: Work fast - return to freezer if starting to melt

Misleading quantity
makes 20? Hardly. Even keeping them to only 1 inch, we had to double the ingredients to barely get 15.
Pros: Taste great
Cons: Had to use twice as many ingredients to get only 15 truffles.

Simple, delicious treat
I made these as Christmas gifts for my neighbors. They loved them! I'm making another double batch tomorrow for a party. They are better than buckeyes and fewer calories.
Pros: Few ingredients, great result
Cons: Doesn't make as many as recipe states it should

Tried For The First Time
I accidentally used semi-sweet chocolate chips but I think they still turned out delicious. Aside from the chocolate, it's not super sweet but not every treat has to be, in my opinion. I enjoy them and would make them again.
Pros: Delicious, low sugar
Cons: Low sugar (LOL)

Delicious but NOT pretty!
Made these twice now, Hubby LOVES them but he is a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate sweets. I think they r ok but not much of a peanut butter fan. Super messy. I tried my hardest to get them pretty. No such luck BUT in the sweets defense, they dont need to be pretty, taste is all that really matters... Second time arund i added the confectioners sugar and it seemed to help a BIT...
Pros: 3 ingredients, tasty
Cons: Sloppy

Delicious!
I loved these, I used almond butter and they tasted just as good! The toothpick before freezing tip helps out a lot...I highly recommend double boiling your chocolate as it can scorch in the microwave.
Pros: tasty, quick & easy to make
Cons: can be messy if you do not use a toothpick before freezing them

Use a melon-baller
I don't mind these having a flat bottom, so I used a melon-baller to form the truffles before freezing. Mess-free, uniform size, easy!
