Peanut Crunch Cookies

Submitted by Snowpeas

"My best friend in high school, Teresa, came up with this recipe. We made these many times back in the 70s. So easy and fun for kids, there is no baking - instant gratification! Thank you Teresa! Note: If you don't want to add wax to your chocolate, just omit it. The finish will be different, but chocolate and peanut butter is good no matter what! Cook time is melt chocolate time."
