My Mom made hundreds of these every year up to the Christmas before she passed away at the age of 80. She also made pecan balls, fudge, and coconut balls. She would give them to family, friends, and all of her neighbors. She was one amazing lady.
Your daughters are all so beautiful. What is even more impressive is how poised, well spoken and confident they are. How lucky they are that you have taught them so many skills they will carry throughout their whole lives. You are also very lucky as their Mom, that they clearly love working by your side. Your making some wonderful memories! Enjoy your Holiday and blessings to you all in the coming New Year!
I was today old learning that gulf wax is used in actual food recipes. LOL I grew up using it to seal our jams and jellies but was unaware it's edible. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Peanut Butter Fudge 3 cups mini marshmallows 3 cups sugar 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1 cup peanut butter 1 and 1/2 sticks butter Put marshmallows and peanut butter in a large bowl and set aside. Melt the butter, and then add the sugar and milk. Bring to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, pour the mixture into the bowl with marshmallows and peanut butter. Mix well. Pour it into a buttered 9x13 dish and refrigerate until set. Enjoy!
Wonderful memories of making these with my sister! Now my beautiful daughter and granddaughter continue. Thank you, Mom, for starting this tradition in our family! Love you forever!
OOOOh I love these! Just a quick adaptation when I did not have any wax: I used coconut oil! You do have to refrigerate or freeze but, if you like the flavor of coconut, it is a nice substitute for the wax. Yummy! Oh, love seeing those hot pads in use!! : )
@@ruralcanadianmom8964 i used about 1/2 c More or less - We ate them last night and, accept for being softer, they were great! Like I said in my comment, you have to refrigerate them - or freeze, which I prefer. Enjoy!
I think I'm going to make some to bring to my daughter were going to see them in Oklahoma city they just got there 4 months ago so I'm trying to see my grandchildren there in the air force my son in law they just came from England for 3 years were excited but my daughter loves chocolate and peanut butter
Peanut Butter Bars are a favorite in our house. In fact, after watching this, I'm going to make bars AND the balls today! Thank you for sharing. Peanut Butter Bars Recipe ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 ½ cups light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving overhang on at two sides for easy removal. Grease the foil or parchment, set aside. In a large bowl, whisk butter and peanut butter until combined. Add brown sugar, whisking until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk until combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain, and be careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and press it into an even layer. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until light golden brown and absolutely delicious!!
Yes, we always called them Buckeyes here in IA. So so good! Back in the day we used the wax for making the Buckeyes & sealing jams & jellies! Thanks for this great memory!😊
That one looks easy enough that I could make it with my elderly mother. She used to make these sorts of things when I was a kid, but gave it up a long time ago. It would be fun to do this with her this year.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie that I created, and if you use Reese's peanut butter and Reese's peanut butter chips it will taste like a Reese's Cup cookie! 1 c brown sugar 1/2 c peanut butter 1/2 c salted butter, softened 1 egg 1 1/4 c all purpose flour 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 c peanut butter chips 1/2 c milk choc chips Scoop into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake at 375°F for 9 to 10 minutes.
I have made these but with a twist. After rolling balls, flatten in you palm, put maraschino cherry with stem bring cookie dough up and around stem, then use stem to dunk into chocolate. Sooo good 👍
We have been making these for years but with slight variations. We use half the wax. And mix the chocolate half semi sweet and half milk and we chill or even freeze the balls then use tooth picks to dip. After pulling the tooth pick out We go back and put a drop of the chocolate to cover the hole. Bright blessing. I have the dough started for the braided bread. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
I keep waiting to see if Tabatha is going to help in the kitchen. Does she not enjoy that? Your family is lovely and you are so blessed. I have one daughter and she enjoys making certain family recipes as well. She's been working in the kitchen with me since she was little on a stool. ❤
Actually, she just made a cake with me yesterday (the big girls were out and about). She loves it. She's our "egg maker" and "apple muffin maker" here❤️
I do something similar but I add some ground oatmeal (pulsed until fine crumbs in the food processor) to give the peanut butter mixture a texture similar to Reese peanut butter cups. For Easter I form them into an egg shape and coat them in milk chocolate.
We are on it! Did these with my 9 yr old daughter now.:) Had to use coconut oil for the coating instead of wax but they turned out super yummy.Thanks!!! It gives me the push I need to bake with my daughters..and they think its a fun"school" day.
Here we make "Picnic" bliss balls that would probably taste similar. Picnics are an Aussie choc covered peanut , caramel bar. My hubby loves our healthy version and he's definitely not "crunchy". Pun intended. Lol. 1 cup dry roasted cashews 1/2 cup crushed peanuts 6 tablespoons smooth peanut butter 2 tablespoon honey* 2 tablespoons maple syrup 3 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon strong homemade vanilla extract pinch of salt Place the ingredients into your processor and blend until the mixture is combined but still has lots of texture. Use your hands to press and shape the mixture into balls and place the balls into the fridge to set. Eat. Enjoy.
@@anniemcelroy2812 because I am a feeder, its my love language, I made fun and yummy things whenever we have visitors. They tend to mention that my kids are so lucky to eat this delicious food all the time . But we actually eat real whole foods daily and have treats , even if they're a healthy sort , only when we have someone over. Treats are much more fun to share . I see that your family is healthy, strong and active so some sugar won't hurt . 🥰
I just made pb balls on Wednesday. Basically the same recipe. I did discover that the Wilton light chocolate candy melts are so much easier to work with for the coating. I melted the candy melts down and added a dribble of vegetable oil and the consistency was perfect. Plus non of the waxy taste from the gulf wax. Everyone in my family uses the wax except me. Just a little hint💚. But definitely thank you for another fun video.
Ooooh yum we call them buckeyes out here in PA only dip them halfway in the chocolate leaving the peanut butter peeking out hence the name.Thanks for all the yummy recipes!(Mrs Z)
These are literally the best! My mom grew up having these and sneaking them from the freezer! Have you ever tried using maraschino cherries in the middle then the peanut butter rolled in chocolate? That's always how we made them. So amazing! 😋
We make a similar peanut butter ball, but use crushed up nutter butter cookies in the center with other ingredients (I need to get that recipe from my SIL!) and I don’t recall ever using the wax. Seems like we always just used chocolate…..I really need to get that recipe and make them this year!
I used to have to make these all the time for my brother, he loved them. I like your recipe better, the one i used had me heating the butter, pwdr sugar and peanut butter in a sauce pan to combine, otherwise it's the same. They are so yummy.
when i first started making chocolate/peanut butter balls I did the chocolate/wax combo but then changed it in following years to just using chocolate wafers melted. No wax needed. My recipe calls for Graham cracker crumbs and Coconut flakes as well in the inside mixture. I am making some tomorrow! :)
We have done this in the past...yes, you can. It doesn't harden quite as well. I can't remember the ratio though so you may need to research/test it out.
I have just asked everyone around me if they have ever heard of baking wax, and nobody has ever heard of it. Maybe its am American thing. (I live in Canada) Is there a substitution that can be used for the wax? It appears that cooking wax is just paraffin wax.
You can find the wax in with canning supplies. It was originally used for sealing jams and jellies in glass jars. If you cannot find the wax you can substitute a couple of tablespoons of vegetable shortening but the coating won’t harden completely like the wax does.
My Mom made hundreds of these every year up to the Christmas before she passed away at the age of 80. She also made pecan balls, fudge, and coconut balls. She would give them to family, friends, and all of her neighbors. She was one amazing lady.

how much coconut oil do I use if I don't have parafin wax?

my fav. Did a great job on them, Elise.
Looks like a yummy recipe. Tip, you can grate your wax with a cheese grater and it melts so fast.
Your dishes are so pretty. I love transferware.
Thank you. I'm always on the search for more:)
Such a beautiful family that just makes watching the recipes so enjoyable.

Wow!! I love those now I’ll try and make some! Thanks for the demo it looks easy.
I occasionally make peanut butter fudge..the peanut butter balls look yummy to.
❤️❤️❤️
Use a heating pad covered with tea towel to set your bowl of melted chocolate on. This will help keep chocolate soft.
Thank you ☺️
I absolutely eat smooth peanut butter with tons of fresh fruit, and come Christmas 🎄 I make Buck Eyes or Peanut Butter Balls, so yummy 😋
Yes❤️❤️❤️
I love your name, Cowgirl Jones! 😍
I have made these but with a twist. After rolling balls, flatten in you palm, put maraschino cherry with stem bring cookie dough up and around stem, then use stem to dunk into chocolate. Sooo good 👍
YUM!!!!
Great idea! Now I am thinking of all the possibilities. But of course the basic is always good.
Good Job ❣
Thank you ☺️
Oh they look so good. I have never made these but oh so easy. I might have too yhis year.
Yes:)

My mother used to make these and coconut Bon-Bons, too.
❤️❤️❤️
My mom makes them every year for Christmas. You are the only person beside my mom that uses the wax. She said that the wax makes them shiny.
And it doesn't need to be refrigerated with the wax which is nice.
We love these and the coconut balls
Yum!
Looks so yummy!! So thankful I found your channel! I’ve enjoyed the 7 series!

1/2 teaspoon strong homemade vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Eat. Enjoy.
Thank you. We will be trying these out. Believe it or not (because we are always sharing desserts) we are a bit "crunchy" as well.

Thank you, Kathy!
Wow this brings back so many memories, my grandma used to make these every xmas. We always joked about eating wax. Love your videos
❤️❤️❤️Thank you!
Not overly common, homemade peanut butter cream pie.
We make the balls and roll them in chopped sunflower seeds. Freeze them and they are awesome that way too.
❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God! My little ones will love making these! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
We put them in the Christmas paper cups Like the one used for muffins. Color coded so we don't get the chocolate covered cherries mixed up.
❤️❤️❤️
I also don't own or feel the need to own a double boiler, I use a pot and a stainless steel bowl.
Yes!
Yummy 😋
❤️❤️❤️

I steer clear of Wilton melts because of the ingredients.
Ooooh yum we call them buckeyes out here in PA only dip them halfway in the chocolate leaving the peanut butter peeking out hence the name.Thanks for all the yummy recipes!(Mrs Z)
My sister-in-law does the same as you do:)
These are literally the best! My mom grew up having these and sneaking them from the freezer! Have you ever tried using maraschino cherries in the middle then the peanut butter rolled in chocolate? That's always how we made them. So amazing! 😋
No, but I'm going to try that out!!!
We made the coffee cake it was fantastic. We're going to try to pecan pie this weekend in the crust. Then we're going to have to make these 🥰

Could you dip the PB in almond bark instead?
I had no idea that wax is edible. Interesting
In moderation 😜😊❤️
Could you use coconut oil instead of gulf wax?
We have done this in the past...yes, you can. It doesn't harden quite as well. I can't remember the ratio though so you may need to research/test it out.
For kids with chocolate allergies can it be subbed for white chocolate?
We have not done that before, but it should work.
Could you use chunky peanut butter?
That would probably work... However, it would be chunky then ;)
Why do you use the wax? Will the chocolate not stick to the chocolate? Just wondering.
The wax just creates a really nice shiny coating and makes them last a long time.
Hello 👋
Hello 🤗
We call these buckeyes lol
Yes!
I have just asked everyone around me if they have ever heard of baking wax, and nobody has ever heard of it. Maybe its am American thing. (I live in Canada) Is there a substitution that can be used for the wax? It appears that cooking wax is just paraffin wax.
You can find the wax in with canning supplies. It was originally used for sealing jams and jellies in glass jars.
If you cannot find the wax you can substitute a couple of tablespoons of vegetable shortening but the coating won’t harden completely like the wax does.
You can use coconut oil (check out the comments for "how-to").
u can do these without wax. buy the chocolate wafers/discs for melting and use just that.
@@patrice1966 It appears that "cooking wax" is just paraffin wax. Thx
