I made truffles for Xmas this year for the first time.  It was so easy and turned out great. I gave them out from Christmas and everyone loved them including  my husband (which is no surprise because he is obsessed with chocolate and peanut butter).  The only thing I would do different next time is add more peanut butter.  The recipe below is the one I used from the book "Truffles and Other Chocolate Confections", by Pamella Asquith.
