Candy Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

2 Cups Peanut Butter

1 stick margarine (softened)

1 pount confectioner’s sugar

Candy Kisses (you’ll need approximately 1 “kiss” per ball)

1/4 stick Parafin Wax (cut into small pieces)

Mix the first 3 ingredients well, using your hands if necessary.  Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on a waxed-paper lined cookie sheet.  Refridgerate for a couple of hours (overnight is best).  Melt the parafin wax and candy kisses in a double-boiler (use 1 kiss per ball, plus maybe 10 extra to be safe).  Make sure the wax and chocolate are mixed well.  Drop cold balls into chocolate 1 at a time, coating each well and lifting them from the chocolate, using 2 teaspoons, and placing them back on the waxed-paper lined cookie sheet.  Refridgerate again until they are easy to handle.  Then place them in a plastic lined container in layers separated by waxed paper and store them in the refridgerator, or even in the freezer if you will be keeping them for a long time.
