Tips:

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality peanut butter.
If the peanut butter is too thick, add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
Be sure to chill the peanut butter mixture before dipping it in the chocolate, this will help the chocolate set more quickly.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it is ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
To make the peanut butter fingers even more decadent, try dipping them in melted white chocolate or caramel.
