Peanut Butter Balls.

These are made just like Martha Washingtons.

Peanut Butter Balls

4 sticks butter
2 boxes powdered sugar
1 quart creamy peanut butter
1 cup ground pecans (or, to maintain smooth consistency, use pecan meal - found in the nut selection of the produce section, or on the baking isle)
15 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 block parafin

Mix first four ingredients and roll into 1-inch balls. Chill until firm. Melt chocolate chips & parafin in a double boiler. (Leave over hot water while dipping balls.) Insert a toothpick into a ball and dip into chocolate. Let cool on waxed paper. Makes 150 balls.
