Here's a holiday throwback! "Grammie and Grampa Hakala's" recipe for peanut butter balls. I remember he took over making them after my grandmother passed away. Every Christmas, he would dole them out to family and friends. They were like currency, you would treasure them and feel so special to receive them.

Grampa Hakala’s Peanut Butter Balls:

Ingredients:

1) 18 oz. Jar of crunch peanut butter

2) 2 and ½ sticks of butter or margarine

3) 2 and ¼ cups of graham cracker crumbs

4) 1 package of confectionary sugar

5) 12 oz. Package of chocolate bits

6) ½ stick of paraffin wax

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar together. Roll into ¾ inch balls. Melt the chocolate bits in a double boiler, w/the paraffin wax. Take and dip the balls in the chocolate w/ a candy stick. Place on wax paper and later in refrigerator to cool. Enjoy!
