This recipe has been in the family for as long as I can remember, I have no idea of its origin. There are many peanut butter ball recipes on this site, but each is a little bit different, so thought I might as well add my version too. I grew up making these as a Christmas candy. But they are fun to shape into an egg shape at Easter too.

How To Make peanut butter balls
-
1Mix together sugar, butter, nuts and peanut butter. Form into 1" balls, place on wax paper lined cookie sheets and freeze for at least one hour. (can be frozen for a couple weeks) Melt chips and wax in double boiler, dip balls and place back onto wax paper. Let dry and harden. Store in cool place. They do freeze well. *I have found white chocolate chips are really good on these too in place of the chocolate and butterscotch chips. *parafin wax - does not have to be used, it just adds a nice shiney coating and the candy don't melt in your hand as easily with it either.
