Add 2 cups of the chocolate wafers to a heat safe bowl and place it over a pot of simmering water over low heat and temper the chocolate until it is melted, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate using a rubber spatula until melted.
Adding one peanut butter ball at a time to the melted chocolate bowl and completely coat it using two spoons to help move it around and then set aside on a sheet of parchment paper. Repeat the process until all the balls have been dipped.
