Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate sets. Cut into squares and package for gifting!

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to firm up.
