Tona's Peanut Butter Delights

2 sticks butter, room temperature

1 c. coconut

1 c. chopped pecans

12 oz. chocolate chips, for dipping

2 1/2 c. crushed graham crackers

1 box confectioners sugar

1/2 c. crunchy peanut butter

2 t. vanilla

paraffin*

Blend butter, vanilla, and peanut butter. Add graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, coconuts, and nuts. Mix well. Shape into balls, then flatten with spoon. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin* in top of double boiler, being careful not to let steam get in chocolate mixture. Dip 3/4 of disc in chocolate mixture. Place on waxed paper til hardened.

*These days, you can just melt chocolate chips in microwave and dip the peanut butter discs in it and eliminate the paraffin, or use the chocolate coating discs, melting the same way. These are found at Walmart and craft stores.
