Pre-Dipping
The final productHere is the recipe if any of you are interested. They are super delicious!
PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (Marilyn Jensen)
8 oz. Hershey Bar
6 oz chocolate chips
sliver of parafin wax (I use a plain wax utility candle sliver...no one has died yet!)
Melt this mixture together in the top of a double boiler and keep it warm while you are mixing up your balls!
1 stick of butter
2 cups peanut butter (any style)
1 lb. box of powdered sugar
4 cups of rice cereal (crush after measuring)
Melt butter in heavy pan and mix in peanut butter. Add powdered sugar and cereal slowly to melted mixture. Mix by hand and form into walnut sized balls. Place on wax paper to cool. Dip in chocolate and place back on paper to cool completely. You can put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes a few at a time to solidify the chocolate faster. Then store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if they last that long.

Okay, listen here Betty Crocker! You have to stop posting all of your homemaking accomplishments because you make the rest of us look like slackers! Dan, I certainly hope you are aware of how lucky you are to have a wife like Mer! Those look so yummy. I want someone to start that tradition for my birthday. Any takers?
I saw this thing the other day about dipping chocolates...if you take a plastic fork and break out the 2 middle spears, it is supposed to be like a tool that chocolate dippers use. Let me know if that helps!
Mer, I can't believe you are friends with Lori Hanson's sister! It is such a small world and that is SO random. Lori is awesome - so hilarious and so much fun! P.S. Your trip to London and Paris looked fantastic. I absolutely loved the Cotswolds and seeing your photos made me wish I was going back soon. Hope you had fun! When will you be in Utah next?
Wow...once again impressed by your culinary skills.
Hi Merianne! I am so excited that you checked out our blog, I am still figuring the whole thing out. I now realize that if I am ever in need of culinary expertise, yet another relative I can go to! I didnt realize we live so close to each other!
