Directions
Cream together butter and peanut butter.
Add confectioners sugar slowly and mix thoroughly.
Roll mixture into little balls (no more than an inch a piece) and place a toothpick in the center.
Melt chocolate chips, then add melted wax. Stir well until smooth. This can be done using the microwave, or on the stove top.
On stove top, use a heavy sauce pan and melt slowly so not to burn the chocolate or the wax.
Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate and swish around to make sure they are completely covered.
Let candy dry on a sheet of wax paper. Store in refrigerator.
