Buckeyes
















Ingredients:
3 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ lb. powder sugar
2 bags semi-sweet chocolate
¼ Bar Paraffin wax

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powder sugar with a wooden spoon to form smooth stiff dough.
Shape into dough into 1” balls (about 75) and insert a wooden toothpick into each ball. Place on prepared pan, and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Melt wax and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat. Remove peanut butter balls from freezer.
Dip into melted chocolate leaving a small area so balls resemble buckeyes. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Serve with milk. Enjoy!
