Peanut butter balls have been one of my favorite candies since I was a little girl. This was another one of my late mother-in-laws recipes, and it's the best I've tried. Although this is not a "simple" process, it's not hard either and well worth the effort.
Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
Ingredients:
6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 block paraffin wax
1 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1b powdered sugar
toothpicks
wax paper
In double boiler melt chocolate chips and paraffin wax together.
Melt butter and peanut butter. Mix graham cracker and powdered sugar into this mixture. You will have to finish the mixing by hand, and kneed for a minute. Shape into small balls, Insert toothpicks into balls and use as a handle to dip them into the melted chocolate mix. Place on wax paper until cooled and set.
Helpful hints:
You can add a little shredded coconut for a nice addition.
You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter for different textures.
