Buckeyes

Around Christmas time, these are one of my favorite desserts that my mom would make for family gatherings and for us kids.  I will warn you, they are very rich, but so delicious!

Buckeyes

Ingredients:

½ cup butter or margarine

3 cups powdered sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon vanilla

8 oz semi sweet Baker’s chocolate

 

Directions:

1.    Melt butter.

2.    Mix all ingredients except chocolate in mixer.

3.    Roll into 1 inch (or smaller) balls.  After all balls are made, refrigerate for about 30 minutes

4.    Melt chocolate in double boiler. 

You can create a double boiler by sticking something metal under the glass or ceramic bowl to hold it up.  I used a metal ramakin to hold it up.

5.    Using a toothpick, dip balls into chocolate and place on wax paper.

6.    After all chocolate balls are dipped in chocolate, refrigerate for 1 hour.

After refrigeration, you can take a spoon and cover up those toothpick holes

I just realized my dog totally photo-bombed my picture.
