Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degree F. Sift in a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
- Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.)
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into smooth balls. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the coating is smooth and thin. Drop the chilled balls into the coating, and roll them around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each truffle with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. (If the coating begins to harden, microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and thin it out.) Chill the truffles until the coating is completely set, about 1 hour. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)

Steps:
- Mix the first four ingredients together well.
- Shape into 1 inch balls.
- Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
- *I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
- I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
- *If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES
Steps:
- 1. In a double boiler, melt chocolate and cream until smooth. Whisk in the peanut butter. Spread mixture into a 9" pan or pie plate. Refrigerate until hard, at least 1 hour to overnight. 2. Place the ground peanuts in a shallow dish. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out 30 heaping spoonfuls of truffle mixture. Place them in a single layer on the prepared sheet. When all scoops have been made, lightly roll them between your palms to give them a nice round shape. If at any point the chocolate gets too warm, making the truffles too difficult to roll, refrigerate for 30 minutes until it firms up. 3. Roll the truffles, a few at a time, in the ground peanuts. Press peanuts gently into truffles to get them to stick. Store in wax-paper lined container, separating layers with wax paper. Cover tightly and freeze.
Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor. Creamy peanut butter will give you a smoother truffle, while crunchy peanut butter will give you a more textured truffle.
- If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the truffles will be less rich and creamy.
- Be careful not to overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing will make the truffles tough.
- If you want to make the truffles ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.
- You can decorate the truffles with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of truffles that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these peanut butter truffles a try. You won't be disappointed!
