First, take your pot, and fill it about halfway with water. Then take your bowl and set it on top of the pot. Fill the bottom of the bowl with chocolate chips and then turn the heat on halfway. Stir until melted.

Now, take your peanut butter and spoon, and take a average sized glob out of it with the spoon. Scrape it off onto the counter with your fingers and sprinkle powdered sugar onto it. Roll it into a ball and keep adding powdered sugar to it until its not sticky. Make as many as you want as long as you have enough chocolate chips.

Coating the Peanut Butter Balls

Take your wax paper, and rip a piece of wax paper the size of the cookie sheet and place it on there. Once you are finished, take a peanut butter ball, and drop it into the melted mass of chocolate. Roll it around with a spoon until its evenly coated. Place it on the wax paper. You probably will need to add more chocolate chips depending on how many you are making.

Chill

Okay, once you finished coating and placing the "balls" on the cookie sheet, clear a spot in your refrigerator and put the "balls" in there. Chill them in there for about an hour or until the chocolate is cool.
