2 sticks margarine
1 and 1/2 (one and one half) cups Graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp vanilla
1 Box powdered sugar
1 12oz jar of Jif creamy peanut butter (or one and one half cups)
1 6 oz bag Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 (one half) of a cake of paraffin (Gulf Wax for canning)
1/2 (onehalf) cup chopped pecans

Mix margarine in a large container, stir in graham crackers, pecans, sugar, and vanilla. Add peanut butter and mix well. You can use electric mixer or wooden spoon. Shape into walnut size balls and lay on wax paper.

Melt chocolate morsels and wax together in a double boiler. Dip each ball in chocolate and return to wax paper. Makes 6 dozen candies. You can refrigerate over night to get them hard, otherwise they will be very soft.
