These homemade Peanut Butter Tagalongs require several steps, but the result is well worth the effort. The key to success is allowing proper cooling and chilling time between steps to ensure the layers set properly. Don't rush the process, especially when working with the chocolate coating.
For a more professional finish, you can temper the chocolate instead of using shortening, though this requires more skill. If you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the peanut butter filling. For a festive touch, drizzle the tops with contrasting white chocolate after the main coating has set.
