Thank you for posting this recipe. I want to make something like this for a holiday function, but did not want the usual chocolate peanut butter ball. I am also intrigued by this recipe for another reason as well. As a child I can remember eating candy very similar to this, but was never been able to find a recipe for it among my aunts cookbooks. My mother tried to convince me I was remembering peanut butter balls, but I have held to my memory of there being crunch, nuts and coconut in the candy my aunt made, although I never found a recipe to support my memory until I saw this. I am excited to try this candy! Thank you!

Does the chocolate coating set up firmly so that it doesn't melt and run? I'm wondering because there is no paraffin in the coating..

KatieB - It sets up fine; I've made different kinds of chocolate candies, have never used paraffin, and have never had a problem.
