Peanut Butter Balls
By: Erindipity

These are a Christmas tradition at our house. I loved making them as a little girl and my six year old daughter helped me make some this year. It is my understanding they no longer recommend you eat Paraffin wax. You can use candy making chocolate if you prefer. Of note: these freeze really well and can be made several weeks before Christmas.

'Round these parts we call these "Buckeyes" and they are yummmmy. Some people use butter or shortenig in place of the wax, but I prefer the wax.
