Super Bowl - PB Truffles

Super bowl time! For the past four or five years I have made 7-layer dip for Super Bowl Sunday because it's an easy, chilled recipe that doesn't require any cooking. Well this year I broke that tradition and broke out some cooking - two recipes in fact! First up, Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup crushed salted pretzels
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
- Combine peanut butter and pretzels in a bowl. Chill for 15 minutes in the freezer. Roll mixture into balls (about the size of a tsp) and freeze 1 hour till firm. Roll balls in melted chocolate and refrigerate until set.

Super easy, but I totally messed these up! I forgot to freeze the balls before dipping them in chocolate, no wonder I got such a mess! They obviously still ended up tasting awesome, but would have worked better had I actually read the directions right. I also made the balls bigger than recommended, but in the end they tasted great and the Super Bowl party attendees loved them! That is, all the boys devoured them.

I got about 27 (should've been like 40 though had I sized them right) and were 3 points/serving.
