BUCKEYES I

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
• Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

SUPER EASY BUCKEYES

Steps:

• melt butter on low in a saucepan and then add powdered sugar. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add peanutbutter. Chill until firm, them roll into balls. I use a melon baller for perfectly sized balls. Chill again until firm. While peanutbutter is chilling, melt paraffin and chocolate chips in a double boiler. (I grate paraffin and it makes it melt much faster). When peanutbutter balls are firm again, dip into chocolate using toothpicks or uncooked spaghetti! Store in airtight container with layers seperated by wax or parchment paper.

• Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
• Pour melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer. Let buckeye bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
