Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- use 1/2 tsp of shortening per oz of chocolate instead paraffin wax
Steps:
- Mix peanut butter, margarine or butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in bowl (It helps to soften the margarine).
- Shape into 1" balls.
- Refrigerate balls.
