How To Make martha washington balls

  • Step 1
    Mix first 5 ingredients together & chill in freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Dip hands in confectioners' sugar to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands. Roll out 1/2in to 1in size balls until mixture is gone.
  • Step 3
    Insert toothpick into each ball then set in freezer again to chill.
  • Step 4
    While balls are chilling, melt down the block of parafin wax. Once wax is melted add the chocolate chips & stir until melted & smooth.
  • Step 5
    Dip each ball into chocolate until all are dipped & coated. You may add as many coatings of chocolate as you prefer. I prefer 2 coatings.
  • Step 6
    Return balls to freezer again until the chocolate is set then remove toothpicks & enjoy!!
