1/2 cup butter softened

Directions:
Mix peanut butter, butter vanilla and icing sugar, add cereal mixing well until well combined.
Form dough into 1″ balls and place them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge or pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
In a double boiler or microwave melt 1/4 bar of pure paraffin (yes, wax, I know it’s weird but that’s what you do!!) with 3 cups of chocolate chips.
Using fork or slotted spoon, dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and place on wax paper. Chill until set.
