Annette's Peanut Butter Balls
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
150 pieces
ingredients
- 2 lbs confectioners' sugar
- 1 (18 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
- 1⁄2 cup margarine, melted
- 1⁄4 cup evaporated milk
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄4 paraffin wax block
directions
- Blend together the sugar, peanut butter and melted margarine. Add evaporated milk as necessary - up to 1/4 cup.
- Roll into small balls. Using a cookie scoop helps ensure the size being uniform. Chill for easier dipping later.
- While candy is chilling, first melt paraffin wax in double boiler. Once melted, add the chocolate chips. Stir till well blended.
- Dip candy into chocolate. A toothpick works best. Place on wax paper to set. If you refrigerate the candy at this stage it helps to set the chocolate firm and makes removing from the wax paper much easier and with less fingerprints on the candy!

I Live in Raleigh, NC I grew up in the mountains of NC but have lived in Raleigh since graduating college in 1985. I work full time and am mom to 2 kids, one in college and out on her own, the other in high school. My fiance is the world's easiest person to cook for. He says that whatever I cook, he will eat...at least once. My favorite cookbook is The Joy of Cooking. I refer to it whenever I need technical assistance on an ingredient. I rarely use the recipes but the information contained in the book is absolutely invaluable.
