For a smoother candy, use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you don't have a double boiler, a microwave can be used. Melt the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. To add a festive touch, sprinkle the top of the candy with sea salt or crushed peppermint candies before chilling. For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips.
