Peanut Butter Balls - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 cups smooth peanut butter (I find that JIF peanut butter has the best flavor and works the best)
1 cup butter
5 cups powdered sugar
2 cups oats
1 -2 paraffin wax block (optional)
1 (16 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, I'm not really sure of the size bag to get, but it's the basic, most common size bag of ch) (optional)
Preparation
-
In a medium sized bowl combine powdered sugar and oats; mix well.
In a small saucepan melt together the butter and peanut butter until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the peanut butter \"sauce\" to bowl of oatmeal and sugar. Mix together well using a spoon at first, then after \"sauce\" has cooled slightly use your hands to better mix all ingredients together.
Roll into balls about an inch in diameter (or whatever size you wish). Lay formed balls on wax paper or foil until all dough has been used.
After forming balls, melt paraffin wax in a double boiler, then add chocolate chips. Melt and mix together well.
Place about a handful of peanut butter balls in chocolate wax, being sure to stir in order to coat balls completely. Remove coated balls with a spoon and return to wax paper or foil to cool and dry.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight bowl in the fridge.
