Title: Frances' Peanut Butter Treats
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

1 lb Butter
2 lb Creamy *or* chunky peanut
-butter
3 lb Confectioners sugar
2/3 Parafin wax; the kind used
For canning
24 oz Chocolate chips
Milk or semi-sweet

1. Cream together butter and peanut butter. Add confectioners sugar
slowly and mix thoroughly.
2. Roll mixture into little balls (no more than an inch a piece) and
place a toothpick in the center.
3. Melt chocolate chips, then add melted wax. Stir well until smooth.
This can be done using the microwave, or on the stove top. In microwave,
use glass dishes for best result, and melt wax slowly. On stove top, use a
heavy sauce pan and melt slowly so not to burn the chocolate *or* the wax.
4. Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate and swish around to make sure
they are completely covered.
5. Let candy "dry" on a sheet of wax paper. Store in refrigerator.

These are perfect for serving with coffee and dessert, and I include
them in boxes of home-made assorted cookies for gift giving. Susan Mason
