Who doesn't like surprises? Especially a delicious surprise :) You can be very creative with these chocolate peanut balls and add an element of surprise in its core. I used golden raisins and dried mangoes as my surprise element, since it gives a good chewy texture. You can replace them with anything other nut/dried fruit, or be more creative and add jams. Be sure to use an unsalted peanut butter (you could also use almond/cashew butter). I love these chocolates since it has a depth of textures, starting with thick dark chocolate, as it melts in your mouth you get the smooth peanut butter. Just when you thought its a soft chocolate, the crunch from the nut in the centre surprises you!

1) Microwave the chocolate chips in a bowl for about a minute and half to completely melt the chocolates
2) Scoop a spoon of peanut butter on your pals and make a small cookie, place dried mangoes and peanut in the centre and create a ball out of it
