okay kids y'all gather round because I
0:03
am gonna be showing y'all how to make a
0:06
recipe that as a as a child growing up
0:10
it was my favorite dessert in the whole
0:14
entire world the first 10 years of my
0:18
life kids I lived at River Bend which
0:21
was my grandmother and grandfather's
0:23
motel a restaurant a skating rink a
0:26
swimming pool and cottages in that
0:32
swimming pool the skating rink yeah it
0:34
was like a like a small Disneyworld it
0:40
was about that big you know it was
0:41
before we ever had recreation centers
0:45
like that and it said just across the
0:48
Mitchell County line so that meant I had
0:52
to go to bake inton elementary school
0:55
and every Friday they would have
1:00
homemade vegetable soup toast and peanut
1:04
butter balls for dessert well honey
1:08
on Fridays don't get in Paula hands way
1:11
because I was right into that cafeteria
1:13
to get my peanut butter ball well let me
1:19
tell y'all something it was like maybe
1:23
25 years later
1:27
yeah probably 25 years later I ran into
1:33
this woman and we got to talking and I
1:39
told her that I had gone to bake tintin
1:41
elementary school she said oh my
1:45
goodness my mother worked in the
1:46
cafeteria there for years well bells
1:52
started going off in my head and I said
1:55
did your mama actually cook she said oh
1:58
yeah I said well
2:00
me tell you something on Fridays I look
2:03
so forward did those peanut butter balls
2:05
she said I'll bring you the recipe I've
2:09
got the recipe and my aunt Trina and I
2:12
had craved those peanut butter balls but
2:16
25 years when I was so decided to get
2:20
that recipe and then equally as excited
2:24
to share it with you kids because it
2:27
doesn't involve a stove and it's a good
2:31
healthy nutritious snack that tastes so
2:36
dadgum good so let's get started
2:40
oh I was looking I was looking through
2:42
the book this is my the first cookbook
2:46
that I wrote I wrote two children's
2:48
cookbooks and it tells you how to set a
2:52
table talks about good manners it has
2:58
instructions on how to measure wet and
3:02
dry things and then you've got a
3:05
glossary with definitions I love that
3:12
and then this is a message to Mama and
3:17
Daddy or grandmama whoever's cooking
3:19
with the kids and safety first because
3:27
when you're cooking there's always a
3:29
danger that you could hurt yourself so
3:34
it really is helpful to those mother's
3:41
or Father's is out there just
3:43
introducing their children into the
3:45
kitchen it's a fun read to have with
3:48
them so peanut butter balls y'all
3:54
all right I've got a half a cup of
3:57
creamy peanut butter now if you like cut
4:01
punchy you can certainly use crunchy
4:06
I've got a half a cup of honey and I
4:11
love Tupelo Honey but there's all
4:15
different kind of honey's out there boys
4:17
and girls
4:18
and it depends on what flower the bees
4:25
have Fadem it will determine the taste
4:31
of their honey all right now this is a
4:34
half a cup of powdered milk so we're
4:41
getting our dairy - so that's a yes that
4:45
is it and I'll I'll share this with you
4:51
when Jamie and Brooke got married we had
4:56
the reception at Uncle Baba's and the
5:00
morning of the wedding I got this idea
5:05
because Brooke had wanted to chocolate
5:08
fountain so I said I don't want to serve
5:11
the same old stuff you know with a
5:13
chocolate fountain
5:14
so I ran down to the restaurant and I
5:18
pulled somebody aside and I said let me
5:21
show you what I would like the ultimate
5:23
for the chocolate fountain and it was
5:28
this recipe
5:32
and so we just rolled it up in balls
5:37
about that size put them in the
5:41
refrigerator and let them get hard and
5:43
then you took your toothpick and you
5:46
held it under the chocolate fountain we
5:49
ran out of those it was plenty of fruit
5:52
left and all that but these were gone so
5:57
I'm going to show you the size that they
5:59
served us it's school on Fridays
6:07
and it was that time right there and
6:11
they served them naked they would not
6:16
make it I mean a fun boss wernicki show
6:20
so there's several different ways you
6:22
can do this you can toss them in
6:25
powdered sugar or you could chop your
6:29
peanuts put them in a ziploc bag and
6:32
beat them with a rolling pin and roll
6:35
them in peanuts or you can roll them in
6:38
pecans or frosted flakes if you'll crush
6:44
up some frosted flakes in your ziplock
6:47
bag and crush them that's mighty good
6:51
too but to me it's hard to be just a
6:55
plain old peanut butter balls so please
6:58
ask your mommy or your daddy to get in
7:02
the kitchen with you and try auntie
7:05
Paula's peanut butter balls okay kiddies
7:11
till next time I love y'all and I love
7:16
