Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftover candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
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.
