Directions:
Mix first four items in bowl and hand-knead until it has a dough-like consistency. Roll into balls and put on cookie sheet covered with wax paper.

Chill them in refrigerator for an hour or two.

Melt chocolate and finely-chopped paraffin together. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip the balls in the chocolate so that they are coated except for a small circle on top. Be careful as the balls fall apart easily. Put back on wax paper and chill for another hour or so.
