Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

1 (6 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/2 cup evaporated milk

Optional coatings:
cocoa powder
chopped nuts
confectioner's sugar
flaked coconut

Place chocolate morsels in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH
for 45 seconds. (The bits won't look as if they are melting, but they are.)
Stir the bits around with a spoon, leaving a space in the middle. Microwave on
HIGH another 30 seconds and stir again until smooth and creamy. If lumps
persist, microwave another 15-20 seconds on HIGH, then stir again. Add peanut
butter to melted morsels and stir to blend. Add evaporated milk and blend well.
Chill mixture one hour in the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture
and form into balls. Roll in desired coatings. Refrigerate until serving.
