- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate squares on high power for 1 minute.
- Stir chocolate and microwave for another minute or until chocolate is melted.
- Remove bowl from the microwave and mix in peanut butter until smooth.
- Let the mixture sit until it has cooled to room temperature.
- Mix in whipped topping and refrigerate for about an hour.
- Shape the mixture into one inch balls.
