PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix the first four ingredients together well.
• Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
• *I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
• I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
• *If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).
