Directions: |
Directions:Mix the above ingredients together with hands. (You can try using a mixer or a wooden spoon if you wish, but bet you'll return to hands!) Make into small balls (about 1" in diameter) and either let them stand at least 2 hours or refrigerate at least one hour.
18 ounces (1 large and 1 small bag) of chocolate chips (Choose either milk chocolate or dark chocolate, to taste)
1/2 bar Gulf paraffin
Melt chocolate in double boiler with 1/2 bar of paraffin/canning wax. Dip balls with fork or toothpick into chocolate. (If the balls have not cooled sufficiently before dipping, they fall off and you have to go "fishing" through the warm chocolate mix to retrieve them). After dipping, place the candy on wax paper to cool. |

Notes: Maw-Maw Willmon used to make Martha Washington Candy at Christmastime as a special treat for our family. In June 2005, Mimi helped my daughter, Montana make this candy as a Father's Day gift for me, her Paw-Paw Willmon and her Grandpa Alan. Although Montana (and Mimi) got covered in chocolate, the result was appreciated ... and delicious.
