Instructions
1
Begin by filling a plastic food bag with the creamy peanut butter, ensuring it's at room temperature for easy piping.
2
Cut a small hole in one corner of the bag to create a piping tool.
3
Twist the open end of the bag tightly, and carefully pipe the peanut butter into each Bugle. Be cautious not to overfill, as this may cause the filling to leak out.
4
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate confectionary coating by heating it at 70% power for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir the mixture.
5
Continue to heat for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
6
Once the chocolate is melted, dip the peanut butter-filled end of each Bugle into the chocolate, covering it halfway.
7
Carefully place the coated Bugles on a sheet of wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry and set.

Note: For a different flavor, you can melt chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of shortening. If the chocolate thickens while dipping, rewarm it in the microwave for a few seconds until smooth.
