Instructions
Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add milk or cream and vanilla. Mix.
Stir in salt and flour on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Divide the dough into thirds. Leave 1/3 plain for the Cookie Dough Truffles.
For the Brownie Batter Truffles, use an electric mixer on medium to incorporate the cocoa powder and milk.
For the Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles, take the last portion of dough and mix in the peanut butter on medium speed, then stir in the crushed pretzels.
Form dough into tbsp sized balls and place on a baking sheeting covered in wax paper. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Melt candy coating either in a sauce pan over medium heat, or in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for increments of 30 seconds.
Using a fork, dip the chilled balls into the chocolate and place on wax paper.
Chill until set. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
