Peanut butter balls are typically one of those treats that are made during the Christmas holidays. But sometimes there are events that need to be given that much special attention too. Unfortunately these came to my mind to make for the family gathering after the memorial service for a very special woman - Craig's aunt Joyce.
The three sisters: June, Joyce and Dixie
I always held a special place in my heart for Joyce because I felt that she and I were alike in some ways. Only, she was much better at showing her love and compassion than I have ever been. She was a strong woman of faith, put her family as her top priority, was very strong in her opinions, kept lists and bins, travelled all over the world and spent more years than she would have liked in the middle of house remodeling projects. My girls loved her deeply, Craig loved her deeply and I loved her deeply. But even more than that - we all confidently know that she loved us just as deeply too.
So with that said, and now that I've wiped my still-fresh tears away, I will try to describe this recipe.
