Well, I shall and see what happens.... :) Good Morning Quila, we have a question...... LOLOL
1 STICK of butter or margarine (NOT the soft spreadable or full of water kind) 1 lb powdered sugar
1-16 oz package of semi sweet "REAL" chocolate pieces
1/2 cake of parafin..canning wax
2-4 tlbs milk (as needed to make the "dough" the consistency of cookie dough
In large bowl melt butter, then stir in peanut butter. Mix in powdered sugar. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary (it usually is). Roll them into bite size balls, place on wax paper. Stick a toothpick in the center. Then Freeze them for a few hours. (this makes dipping them easier) IF you are using this for a party item use colored tooth picks and leave them in to make them easier to pick up off the plate)
When PBB's are frozen, melt the wax in a small 1 qt sauce pan then stir in chocolate pieces. When smooth dip the frozen PBB's in the chocolate. Replace on the wax paper. Remove toothpick and fill the tiny hole with chocolate. Store in Fridge.
YUM, YUMs.
