Christmas Peanut Butter Balls

Combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter in a bowl. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours for the mixture to firm up.

Combine the chocolate chips and paraffin in the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling, water. Stir until the chips are melted.

Scoop the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch size balls. Using a candy dipping fork (or regular fork or skewer), dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place the balls on waxed paper to cool.

When all the balls are done, let them cool completely then store in an airtight container.

If you can't find the old school paraffin wax, use almond bark or other dipping chocolate instead of the chocolate chips.
