Peanut Butter Balls

*Sharon's Recipe :-)

 

1   18 OZ JAR CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER ( I USE JIFF)

2    STICKS BUTTER

1  1/4 LBS POWDERED SUGAR

2   TBSP. VANILLA

12 OZ NESTLES  SEMI SWEET CHOC, CHIPS.  (I SOMETIMES MIX 1/2 SEMI CHOC. WITH 1/2 MILK CHOC.)  USING ALL MILK CHOC IS REALLY 

TOO SWEET.  BUT YOUR PREFERENCE............

1/4   BAR (NOT BOX) PARAFIN WAX.  HOUSEHOLD VARIETY.

MIX PEANUT BUTTER AND BUTTER UNTIL CREAMY.  ADD POWDERED SUGAR.  MIX AND THEN KNEAD A FEW MINUTES.  THIS MAKES THE CANDY WELL BLENDED AND CREAMIER.   ROLL INTO BALLS -- YOU ALL KNOW THE SIZE..........ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SMALL WALNUT.  YOU CAN ALSO ROLL OUT ABOUT 1/4 " AND USE SMALL COOKIE CUTTERS TO MAKE YOUR FAVORITE SHAPES.  

IN TOP OF DOUBLE BOILER, MELT WAX, AND CHOC CHIPS.  MIX.  USING TWO FORKS,  DROP[ CANDY INTO CHOC.  QUICKLY COAT AND LIFT OUT WITH ONE FORK.  SHAKE OFF EXCESS CHOC.  PLACE ON WAXED PAPER.  USE FORK NUMBER TWO TO EASE CANDY OFF FORK NUMBER ONE.

LET SET.
