Ingredients

2 cups peanut butter-I use Jiffy

3 cups powdered sugar

1 stick melted butter

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

2 pkg. chocolate chips-I use Giradelli semi sweet

1/2 bar paraffin wax- Gulf Wax household paraffin wax for canning.

Directions

In double broiler melt wax and chocolate.

While that heats up mix together peanut butter and melted butter. Add powder sugar then the Rice Krispies. I usually end up using my hands to mix the peanut butter mixture.

Make balls about the size of a ping pong ball and place on wax paper on a cookie sheet.

Dip each ball in chocolate with a fork tap to remove excess chocolate.

Place back on wax paper.

Place in freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until the balls remove easily from the wax paper.

You can find the wax at the grocery store in the baking aisle by the canning stuff, It is called Gulf Wax household paraffin cooking wax for canning.

If you do not have a double broiler take a sauce pan fill 1/3 with water in another sauce pan add chocolate & wax place on top of pan with water, heat on stove about med. low heat.

I keep it on the heat while I am dipping the balls.

Do not cook chocolate at too high of heat it will ruin it.

If you have chocolate left over you can cover the pan and reuse with in 3-4 days.

I've been making this one since the 70's - my oldest daughter's favorite holiday candy! I've never used the wax, though. They are a delicious little bite, with few ingredients!

I agree with the others, we love PB balls. Made them for our neighbors for New Years and they quickly disappeared. My recipe doesn't call for the cereal, but next time I just might have to try that.
