Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups of creamy peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
2 sticks of butter softened
6 cups powdered sugar
1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chunks
1 (12 oz.) bag dark or milk chocolate chunks or chips
1/4 of a bar of paraffin wax finely shaved (TIP: Find this in the canning section and use a potato peeler to shave it)

Steps:

MIX together the peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar until well blended.
ROLL into 1 inch balls and place on wax or parchment paper. Place finished balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
MELT the BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks, dark or milk chocolate and paraffin wax down in a double boiler. If you do not have a double boiler you can always use a small metal bowl over a pot.
USING a toothpick, dip the balls into the chocolate leaving a portion of the top exposed. Drop onto wax or parchment paper. Let stand or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
