Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
why do some recipes for choclate covered peanut butter balls have parafin wax added to the chocolate?
When paraffin wax is added to chocolate it thins it more than what just the chocolate would be. This makes the Chocolate A nice consistency for dipping or pouring in molds. The paraffin then hardens when it is cool so the chocolate keeps its form. You can add cocoa butter in place of paraffin if you wish…it does the same thing but has a more creamy texture to it than what the wax has. I prefer not to add the wax and just go ahead and use the chocolate even if it is a little thick for dipping.
