Vivian's Notes:
This is a candy recipe my Aunt Dotsie made for me in the late 50's. I've modernized it, hopefully without compromizing the taste. The original recipe melted chocolate and wax together for dipping.

*Be sure to note that it chills overnight or at least all day before finishing. I only mention that because my son called in a panic when he promised to bring some to a potluck and only allowed a couple of hours to make them.
 
 

Directions

1
Combine center ingredients, mix well, cover and let sit overnight. Does not say refrigerated, but I did, then let them sit out a short time.
2
spoon out small amounts and roll into balls, while waiting for coating to melt.
3
Melt chocolate waffers follow directions on pkg.
4
Dip balls, using tines of fork, into melted coating and shake off excess. Place on waxed paper to set.
