• Once cold, beat in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
• Roll the mixture into truffles and pop into the freezer.
• Dip in the melted chocolate.
• Drizzle with chocolate for a design and sprinkle on the butterfingers.

I had left over filling so I melted some chocolate into the bottom of a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Then, I chilled it. I pressed the extra peanut butter filling on top  making sure it was evenly pressed in and chilled it. I melted some more chocolate on top and gave it the final chill. It does crack when cutting straight from the fridge but it sure was scrumptious!
