Paraffin wax (Gulf Wax) is a food-grade, indigestible wax used commonly in the past to seal jams/jellies. These days, it's used to help chocolate to be easily handled. If you'd prefer not to use that ingredient, substitute chocolate-flavored bark (confectioner's candy coating) for the chocolate/wax mixture.

MARTHA WASHINGTON'S CANDY BALLS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Mix together sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and butter. Add coconut and pecans. Chill until firm enough to handle. (I put mine in to chill faster) Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet, chill in freezer while melting chocolate bark. You can melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave. Dip chilled balls in chocolate and transfer to wax paper to cool. I melt chocolate half at a time or it gets too thick. (unless you have a helper for dipping) This makes a bunch. Plenty to give as gifts. I've also cut the recipe in half and it works well. Also, they are very rich so I roll the balls small enough for one bite.

I make this for Christmas every year. It is the best candy! Sometimes I also use milk chocolate on half of the recipe. You could even make them for Valentines Day and shape the balls into hearts.
