 Alicia (Arkansas) says:
Paraffin is used in candles to firm the wax, it is used in this recipe to help firm the chocolate on the coconut balls. One lesson I learned years ago is to be very careful on clean up, I clogged up a sink drain. I was very pleased to find this recipe here since its always been a family favorite.
