Ingredients

12 oz Chocolate Chips
8 oz Butterscotch Chips
4 oz White Chocolate Chips
10 oz Peanut Butter

Instructions

Add the Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and white chocolate chips to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring as much as you can after, until you can stir it totally smooth. 12 oz Chocolate Chips, 8 oz Butterscotch Chips, 4 oz White Chocolate Chips
Add the Peanut butter to the bowl and stir it in until its totally creamy and smooth. 10 oz Peanut Butter
Line a mini muffin pan, or two with paper liners. Pour the chocolate into the liners filling each about 3/4 of the way, you do not want to overfill them. You can use a pourable measuring cup, or transfer the chocolate into a clear squeeze bottle and use that to pour into the molds. (You can also pour the mixture into muffin liners, or mini muffin liners.) Tap the molds on the counter to flatten the chocolate.
Transfer the molds to the freezer for 10 minutes. Pop the chocolate out of the molds, and transfer them to a fridge safe container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Chips: Use High quality chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. I have used Ghiradelli chips, with Nestle Butterscotch chips, or Guittard for all three!
Use a Squeeze Bottle: Pour the candy mixture into a squeeze bottle. I grabbed a two dollar Plastic Squeeze Bottle from Walmart, and snipped the tip so the chocolate would come out faster.
Shapes: You can make these in a mini muffin pan with paper liners so they look like peanut butter cups, or any silicone molds. I like making a variety of shapes for different holidays, and I love these Christmas ones during that time of year.
Add a Chocolate Coating: To make these even more like a truffle, you can dip the candies into pure melted chocolates to give them a little bit of a crunchy shell that you'd expect from a chocolate truffle. Top with sea salt for a little balance of flavors, and to make them feel extra fancy ;)
