Peanut Butter Bon Bons

Peanut Butter Bon Bons

These are one of my very favorite Christmas cookies.  I love them so much, that when I graduated from High School, I asked my mom to make these, in lieu of a cake for my graduation party.  :)  My brother claims that I make the best...I think he's full of it because my entire family all uses the exact same recipe...but I'll let him keep telling me that year after year.  At least I think of him with every single one that I make.

1/2 cup soft margarine
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups peanut butter
3 cups crushed rice krispies (don't use off brand or they'll get soggy)
1 - 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 bar parafin (find it in the canning section) to make the balls shiny

Combine margarine, sugar, peanut butter and rice krispies.  Form into bite sized balls and chill at least two hours.  Melt the chocolate and parafin together in a double broiler.  Dip the balls with a spoon and let cool on foil or wax paper.  Store in the refrigerator.
