    Here's a link to allrecipes that is close. The trick is to get all the air out of the balls as you roll them. Good luck!

    I have the best recipe. :flowerforyou: I got it from a former nurse at our school. Thanks Wendy!!

    1 c butter
    2 c peanut butter (Jif preferred)
    3 c powdered sugar

    For the chocolate part: 1 bag of chocolate chips and 1/2 bar of wax.

    TIP: After you roll the peanut butter balls, put them in the freezer for 20 min. It makes it easier to dip them in the chocolate (using a toothpick).

    Not everything we do in our lives revolves around ourselves or our diets.
    She was just asking for a recipe, for whatever reason.

    Chill

    Ok- I have been making these for years (over 20) and this comes directly from the great state of Ohio. By no means is this low fat :happy:

    2 sticks butter or margarine
    1 cup peanut butter-creamy
    6 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon vanilla

    Mix with hands and form small balls

    next:

    Melt over low heat (in a double boiler)
    1 12 oz bag of chocolate chips or 6 hersey milk chocolate bars ( I prefer the candy bars)
    1/2 parafin wax

    After chocolate and wax is melted use toothpicks to dip the peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate. ( don't completely dip) . Put onto wax paper to dry. Keep cholocate on the stove while dipping to keep the chocolate melted.

    I was given this recipe to remind me of where I grew up, and it's still on the same recipe card.

    Hope you like......trust me they will not last long. ( at least the don't in my house)

    Have you seen what they put in foods lately....
    Wax is a breeze compared to some of that stuff.
