Chocolate Peanut Butter HiFi Buddy Balls—Prototypes 1 & 2:   The peanut butter flavor somewhat overwhelmed the chocolate in Prototype 1. The flavors seemed to be more balanced for Prototype 2. Take your pick.   For both prototypes, prepare a bowl of the mixture for Chocolate HiFi Buddy Balls, Prototype 1. For Prototype 1 of these combination balls, prepare a bowl of the mixture for Peanut Butter HiFi Buddy Balls, Prototype 1. For Prototype 2 of these combination balls, prepare a bowl of the mixture for Peanut Butter HiFi Buddy Balls, Prototype 2. From the bowls of both of these flavors, take equal amounts from each one—about one ounce from each mixture is suggested—and roll them together into a single ball. The result is a somewhat marbled pattern (about a two-ounce, 1 1/2" size). Repeat this until the bowls are empty. There will probably be some extra mixture left in one of the bowls after the other one is empty. Simply take double amounts (such as about two ounces) from the surplus bowl and form into balls solely in that flavor. The yield should be close to 4 dozen balls. Many years ago, back around the early 1980's, I overheard some co-workers referring to another co-worker as "Buffy", but to me, that sounded like a great name for a pet, particularly a fluffy one, such as a cat (supposedly because of "Buffy" and "Fluffy" rhyming with each other). In fact, I did have a long-haired cat at the time, named Patches, who I greatly enjoyed, and she easily came to mind when I heard the word "Buffy". Patches was a multi-colored cat with colors like brown, black, orange and white, and it wasn't long before I felt compelled to somehow apply the name "Buffy" to her. At some point, I was baking chocolate-chip, marbled "Bundt" cakes. Due to these being multi-colored somewhat like Patches, I ended up calling my such recipes "Buffy" cakes. Fast forward to these more recent times and my HiFi, or Bran, Buddy Balls. With the chocolate versions, I somehow came up with "Buffles" ("buddy" + "truffles"). Subsequently, I ended up creating a batch of "Buffles" that were "marbled" or "multi-colored", somewhat like my "Buffy" cat of late. In light of "Buffles" (and also "Buddies") being very close to another "funky" word—"Buffies", I ended up with the idea of these alternative names for this multiple-colored recipe: "Bran Buffies" and "HiFi Buffies" (singular "Bran Buffy" and "HiFi Buffy", of course)!
