from my mom, who got it from a candy maker in Ohio
Centers
1 2 1/2 pound jar unsweetened peanut butter (no sugar, but you want it to have salt! Make sure it's not unsalted!)
1 pound butter
5 pounds powdered sugar (or until the right consistency, which might vary some depending on how think your peanut butter is)
1 pound butter
5 pounds powdered sugar (or until the right consistency, which might vary some depending on how think your peanut butter is)
Chocolate Coating
2 1/2 oz bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 stick paraffin (1/5 pound)
1/2 stick paraffin (1/5 pound)
Mix peanut butter and butter together. Add 4 pounds powdered sugar. Try to form into 1/2" ball. If the ball won't hold together or hold shape, keep adding sugar until it does. Place balls on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate.
Melt chocolate chips and paraffin together in double boiler or crockpot. Keep warm.
Dip centers into chocolate using a toothpick. Do not cover completely; leave an "eye" of PB showing on top.
Replace on cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
