Peanut Butter Balls

(This is from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.)

Everybody loves these! I think they're always the first things to disappear from the cookie plates I take when we visit people at Christmastime.

1/2 c peanut butter
3 Tbsp margarine or butter, softened
1 c powdered sugar
8 oz chocolate-flavored confectioners' coating

Stir together peanut butter and margarine. Gradually add sugar, stirring til combined. Shape into 1" balls; place on waxed paper. Let stand til dry, about 20 min (or put in freezer). Melt confectioners' coating. Cool slightly. Dip balls into melted coating; let excess drip off. (I use toothpicks to help get the balls out of the chocolate.) Place on waxed paper; let stnad til coating is dry. Makes about 30 pieces.
