Recipe Introduction

Sue Schulte Alton, Illinois 1/2 cup melted margarine
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 [1 lb] boxes of powdered sugar
[about 7 plus cups]
3 1/2 oz can coconut
1 cup finely chopped nuts

Mix well by hand and cover bowl. Chill. Then roll into 1" balls and chill again..
In top of a double boiler, melt:

12 oz chocolate chips
3/4 cake paraffin

Blend until smooth and then dip chilled balls, speared with a toothpick, into the coating. Lay on foil-covered cookie sheets until set.

Notes from Carol..
You could use butterscotch chips instead. Paraffin comes in 1 lb. package with 4 bars. I sometimes use a candied cherry as the center and then wrap with mixture. Makes a nice addition to any dessert tray and a welcome gift if presented in little fluted paper cups..
