Chocolate Bites
Author: Seawaters of California
Recipe type: Desserts
- 2 sticks margarine
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 box powdered sugar
- 1 T vanilla extract
- 1 (12-ounce) jar peanut butter (crunchy is great)
- 1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips, more if needed
- ½ cake paraffin wax
- Melt margarine in large container. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, pecans, coconut, powdered sugar, and vanilla; add peanut butter and mix well. Roll into walnut-size balls and lay out on waxed paper. Melt chocolate and paraffin together over hot water. Using 2 teaspoons (or any method you prefer), dip each ball into mixture, returning to waxed paper. The balls will cool quickly and be pretty and glossy.
This recipe was from my Aunt Ede, who had another name for them that I cannot tell!
