Peanut Butter Balls with Coconut

In this recipe you find that peanut butter is not just for PB&J sandwiches. These cookies require no baking just like the PB&J sandwiches. These make great Christmas candy gifts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup margarine or butter
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 2 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 box powdered sugar (1 pound)
  • 1 12 oz package of semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup grated paraffin

Directions

Step 1

Melt margarine. Add the other ingredients except the chocolate and paraffin. Mix well and make small balls walnut size or smaller. Wearing plastic gloves help make the rolling easier.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate and paraffin in a double boiler over hot water.

Step 3

Using two forks, dip the balls into the chocolate. Place on wax paper or parchment to dry.
