Ingredients:
2 1/2 sticks margarine (NOT butter)
2 cups creamy peanut butter
5 cups powdered sugar
2 big Hershey bars (or 8 reg size)
1 - 12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 bar of wax (melt in a rinsed out soup can inside a pan with 1 to 2 inches of water)
Directions:
In a large bowl mix margarine, peanut butter and powdered sugar together until it reaches the consistency of play-dough. Using a tablespoon to measure, roll the dough into balls & place on a waxed/parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate to make firm then remove the balls and let return to room temperature before dipping. If the balls are too cold the chocolate thickens very quickly and can get clumpy.
Melt chocolate together. Melt wax separately. Gradually add wax to the melted chocolate, stirring constantly.
Drop peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate mixture, pick up with a fork and gently slide back onto lined baking sheet. It is easiest to use a plastic fork with the two center prongs broken out. Keep chilled in the fridge.
Thank you AnneMarie for another winner!
