Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

My family says that they like these better than store bought peanut butter cups. They are very easy to make.

What you will need:

1 cup peanut butter

2 Tablespoons margarine

1/2 cup powdered sugar

6 squares chocolate almond bark

1 inch square paraffin wax

Mix peanut butter and margarine together.

Stir in powdered sugar. If mixture gets to stiff to stir, you can knead it with your hands.

After powdered sugar is well incorporated, form into desired size balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.

Place in freezer.

Grate or chop paraffin wax into small pieces. Melt in double boiler. This is what will keep your chocolate from melting and will also give it a shiny appearance.

Break apart almond bark squares and melt in double boiler with wax.

When chocolate is smooth, remove from heat.

Dip peanut butter balls one by one in melted chocolate with a fork. Tap fork on the side of the pot to remove excess chocolate. Place back on wax paper.

Let set.

Serve and enjoy!

hint: To get the chocolate to set faster, you can place back in freezer for about 10 minutes.
