Ingredients

  • 1 box graham cracker crumbs (or do it yourself)
  • 1 box confectioners sugar xxx
  • 3 sticks butter, unsalted
  • 1 jar peanut butter, crunchy (8oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure
  • - parafin wax (1/2 cake)
  • 1 package chocolate morsels, semi sweet

How To Make drema's "peanut butter" balls

  • Step 1
    In top of double boiler melt chocolate with 1/2 cake of parafin wax. Stir ocassionaly.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile in large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Mix well. Keeping your hands buttered or sprayed start making small round balls. Place in fridge until chocolate is ready!
  • Step 3
    Once you are ready have waxed paper prepared and spread out. Dip balls in chocolate and place on wax paper. Allow to thoroughly cool and set up. Tip: You will find the easiest method for you. I have small plastic tongs I use for dipping and use a butter knife to shear off the excess on bottom before placing on paper. Tip: I have made by balls and left in fridge until next day till ready to do the chocolate. Enjoy! Store on wax paper layers in air-tight containers until ready for use.
