What paraffin wax do you use in candy making?
I use Household Parrafin wax — the kind that is sold in grocery stores with the canning supplies, in the same section with the glass jars used for canning fruits and vegetables. I have used this for many years in the chocolate coating for my Christmas peanut butter balls. If you research the use of parrafin in candy online, some postings say it is perfectly safe for consumption and others advise against it. I’m not sure — it IS a petroleum product! Eating a lot of wax is probably not the healthiest thing — but those peanut butter balls are pretty and shiny and YUMMY.
