Recipe Introduction
I haven�t actually made this recipe yet, but it is in the pad of recipes that Grandma Jean convinced Ma to sit down and write out years ago. I want to try it sometime, but wanted it in here for posterity in the meantime. I won�t be using paraffin in my chocolate, though � I�m only willing to go so far for authenticity! If I can ever manage to temper chocolate, I�ll use that, but even plain melted chocolate would be better!
List of Ingredients
1/4 c. butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 box 10X
1 lb. chopped nuts
1 can coconut
1/4 lb. paraffin
12 oz. milk chocolate
Recipe
Melt butter and pour over nuts. Let stand. Meanwhile mix milk, sugar and coconut then add the nut mixture. Mix well and chill 2 hours.
Form into small balls and refrigerate overnight.
Melt paraffin and chocolate together and dip balls. Place on wax paper to dry.
