CHRISTMAS PEANUT BUTTER COCONUT CHERRY BALLS
Lynelle's mom knew what she was doing when she made this recipe. It's not your standard chocolate peanut butter ball recipe. It's so much more decadent. The peanut butter filling is smooth, creamy and just melts in your mouth. Maraschino cherries add a lovely cherry flavor while the coconut gives a bit of crunch to every bite....

Steps:

- 2. Roll in very small balls.
- 3. Put in freezer for several hours or preferably overnight.
- 4. Melt in a double boiler 6 oz chocolate chips and 6 tbsp paraffin.
- 5. Dip frozen balls in and drain over waxed paper on a rack.
- 6. Can double dip if you want. I usually double the cherry mixture and the chips mixture making enough for dipping a double batch. Enjoy!
