Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. butter or margarine (2 sticks)
  • 1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. smooth peanut butter
  • 1 box confectioners sugar
  • 3/4 bag chocolate bits
  • 1 c. fine crumbs of vanilla wafers (I put about 8 at a time in a sandwich bag and pound and roll them with rolling pin or heavy water glass)

Method

  • Mix all together.
  • I knead it with hands like bread, as it is stiff.
  • Form into balls (roll in palm of hands), smaller than walnuts.
  • Melt together in double boiler 3/4 of 1 block paraffin wax.
  • Roll balls in chocolate mixture and put on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
  • I use ice tea spoon with long handle to get them out of double boiler.
  • If they stick to pan, you can pull them free by pushing them off wax paper by putting your hand under wax paper. Sounds harder than it is.
  • Makes about 60 to 70.
