An Ohio tradition, these little peanut butter and chocolate balls represent the state’s namesake.
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter
1 scant cup of all-natural peanut butter
2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
3 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/10 of one block in a package of Paraffin
Cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugar and roll into one inch balls. Set on a cookie sheet and freeze (about 4 hours). Melt the chocolate and paraffin in a double boiler stirring to blend. Using two spoons gently set the peanut butter balls down into the chocolate and scoop chocolate up to the balls leaving a dime to quarter size part of the peanut butter ball exposed. Remove from chocolate and set back on cookie sheet to harden. Makes 35-40.
These will keep wrapped in your freezer for a looooong time if you have the will.
