This recipe makes about 120 chocolate covered jingle balls. We usually make
a batch this large to give as gifts to all our friends. If you want to make
these just for yourself, cut this recipe in half or thirds
.

You will need:
3 cups creamy peanut butter
7-8 cups powdered sugar
2 cups softened butter
4 tsp vanilla
3 packages (12 oz) chocolate chips
6 tbsp parawax
Mix peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla together in a bowl. Cover and
refrigerate for 1 hour.
Melt chocolate chips w/ parawax over low heat. Make peanut butter mixture
into balls about the size of a quarter. (It's best to work with small amounts
of the mixture, keeping the rest refrigerated until you're ready to form
and dip. The mixture gets gooey and messy very quickly.)
Using toothpicks or small forks, dip the balls into the chocolate. Set on
wax paper and refrigerate.
