Truffles From Holiday Mini-Catalog Question

In summary, these truffles can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 2 months. They do not require any special equipment to make, but a melon baller or small cookie scoop can make shaping easier. You can use any type of chocolate for these truffles, and one recipe makes approximately 24 truffles. Additionally, you can customize these truffles with different flavors or toppings such as liqueur, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or melted chocolate.

These are so delicious and really easy to make. I decided to make them for my kids' teachers. Rather than do the mint ones, though, I thought I'd do the peanut butter version. But I accidentally misread the recipe and bought the chocolate PB Oreos instead of the Nutter Butter type of cookie. So, I'm wondering what I want to coat them in. Should I still just roll them in chopped peanuts and drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate? Or should I coat them in melted chocolate and drizzle melted PB morsels? Would melted PB morsels work okay for a coating and then drizzle with semi-sweet chocolate?

If I melt PB morsels, should I add a certain amount of oil to it or will it run and coat the truffles okay?
 
When I've made these before, I've found that the regular chocolate chips work the best for coating.

What I would do is use a mix of PB and cream cheese for the filling with the cookies, and then coat in chocolate and drizzle with melted PB chips or sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

Thanks Becky! I'll give that a try for my next batch. For this first batch I just did cream cheese w/ the cookies. Then I rolled them in chopped peanuts and then melted semi-sweet morsels and put it in a ziplock and did the drizzle over them. I've got them in the fridge right now getting all set up. I tasted one and it was pretty good. But I like the idea of doing a full coating of chocolate on them like you mentioned. So I'll do that next. Thanks! :)
 
Can these be made one day ahead?
