Peanut Butter Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 -3 cups dipping chocolate, wafers melted in a double boiler (available at most bulk food stores)

Preparation

Mix the first four ingredients together well.
Shape into 1 inch balls.
Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
*I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
*If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).
