Peanut Butter Truffles with Potato Chips

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. peanut butter
• 5 tbsp (75 g) butter, room temperature
• 2.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups finely crushed ribbed potato chips, plus larger pieces for garnish
• 350 g dark chocolate, chopped

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then the vanilla; beat until the mixture comes together, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the crushed potato chips and mix thoroughly.
2. Form tablespoon-sized balls (about 36) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cool while you melt the chocolate.
3. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Let the chocolate melt, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan.
   
   Dip the formed balls one at a time into the melted chocolate using a spoon, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, and then return them to the baking sheet. Insert a large piece of chip into each truffle. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set, at least 15 minutes, or freeze until ready to serve.
