1 lb. (4 sticks) butter
1 (18 oz.) jar creamy peanut butter (about 4 cups)
3 (1 lb. ea.) boxes confectioners' sugar (or less)

Cream butter and peanut butter together. Mix as much of the powdered sugar as you can into the mixture, then roll into (1-inch) balls.

CHOCOLATE COATING:

1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 oz. paraffin wax (I buy "Gulf Wax" in the Walmart baking section)

Melt wax (about an inch) and chocolate chips in a double boiler pan. Stir well, then dip balls into chocolate with toothpicks. Place on wax paper to cool.

Note: You may substitute real chocolate chips and food-grade wax with 1/2 (24 oz.) bar of Almond Bark. Candies may be frozen.
