Martha Washington Balls Candy

I have been making these candy concoctions for at least 35 years....and strange as it seems....we still love to eat them....of course we only make them during the Christmas season....don't ask me why... they are really not hard to make... just a little time consuming.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup nuts, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cup coconut
• 2 boxes confectioners sugar
• 1/4 block paraffin wax
• 12 oz. semi sweet chocolate
•  
•  
• Method: 

  Mix first five ingredients together.
  Roll in balls and refrigerate until hard. 
  Melt paraffin wax and chocolate together in a crockpot. 
  Dip the balls into the chocolate to coat, and drop onto parchment or waxed paper.
  
  
  David Coleman suggests that you top it with an almond and you'd end up with an Almond Joy!
