3/4 C. chunky peanut butter
1/4 C. butter
1 C. flaked coconut
1/2 C. finely chopped walnuts

In a mixing bowl cream peanut butter and butter until well mixed.
Fold in coconut, nuts and one cup sugar; mix well. Sprinkle some of
the remaining sugar on a board. Turn peanut butter mixture onto
board, knead in enough of the remaining sugar until mixture holds
its shape when formed. Shape into small egg-shaped pieces. Cover and
