- Yields:
-
7 doz
ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
- 1.5 (16 ounce) packages powdered sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 0.5 (12 ounce) bag Hershey chocolate kisses, unwrapped
- 1 (16 ounce) box paraffin wax (Gulf Wax household preferred)
directions
- mix peanut butter , butter and sugar until blended, adding drops of milk to moisten if needed. (You want a pliable dough not a crumbly mess).
- Shape into 1-inch balls; chill 10 minutes or until firm.
- In a double Boiler over medium heat melt kisses and Semisweet Chocolate morsels, stirring to mix when melted.
- shave off 1/4 cup of Paraffin wax and add to the chocolate mixture. (This hardens the candy coating and smooths out the chocolate for an even coating. Yes, it's OK to eat in small quantity!).
- Dip each ball in chocolate mixture until coated; place on wax paper to harden.
- Store in an airtight container.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Hello, <br />I am a southerner, born and raised here in the deep south. I have many interest and you could probably call me a jack of all trades, master of none! Currently I am a school bus driver, before that I was a Costumer and manager/ buyer for a Costume shop, before that I spent a few years as a graphic designer. For the past 15 years in my free time, I have studied Medieval history and hope to one day get a degree in it. <br />I have 4 wonderful kitty's who allow me to live with them If I bribe them with food. Hehe, other wise they mutiny! I love snow skiing, mountain climbing,and archeology digs,most of which are not conducive to the south, so Its a good thing I love to travel! <br />Of course I love to cook and horde recipes like they are gold, I am also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism's (SCA), where I am a baroness, painter of manuscripts, and leader of the local group. Thus my name. <br />One of the things I like doing in the SCA is cooking period food for 300 or so of my friends, after researching recipes and redacting them to suit modern taste. I have always been interested in different cultures and food is a wonderful way to experience a taste of someone else's world. Thats when I found Recipe ZAAR, and I have been enjoying new friendships and some great food here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></p>
