MMMMM You sending me some candy..how sweet of you hehehehee

I am thinking the Peanut butter balls...are yummy...

GOLF BALLS
1 pkg crushed graham crakers
2 sticks of room temp oleo
1 cup peanut butter
1 # powdered sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut (optional)

mix well, and form into balls ...best if you use a small ice cream scooper for uniform balls. Place on wax paper cookie sheets and refridge overnt.

1/2 block or 1/2 stick parafin wax
1/2 pkg coco chips
1/2 pkg butterscotch chips

melt together in double boiler or low heat, till melted. dip balls in 1 at time and return to wax paper cookie sheets. cool and enjoy.

(this is someone elses recipe..that they gave me...but I think you could do these without the parafin...cause I have never used wax persay for any of these type things....)

hugssss,sarah

I will have to do this one without the peanut butter. I lost my family recipes years ago when the house caught fire...or my MIL might have gotten it and it is now with the Xhusband and his wife. Will not do me any good to ask however...no one ever knows what happened to my things that got left behind. I didn't have a chance to get all my things.

Thanks for the recipe though...I have been looking online...Godiva has a few good ones, I am looking for ones that will pack and send easily. chocolate doesn't do well for shipping in some instantances...

Gets where its going and its all melted mush.lol

I have made candy doing that also...I found a really good recipe online...the others I can probably get out of several cookbooks I have. I just found a Hershey's chocolate cookbook packed in a box...

Maybe if I keep looking I might find some of those recipes I always used. lol

Sounds sort of great but I need a translation on some of the ingredients please.

What is oleo?
Are graham crackers plain or sweet?

Now, can I ask a silly question?
They actually eat the parafin wax?

Sarah...have you tried using frozen orange juice in place of the butter...it will hold it together without having to use the wax.
