~*~*~Buckeyes ~*~*~

This recipe has always been a favorite of mine ever since I was a wee lil buckeye myself lol. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family & I have.

• 2 lbs. Peanut butter
• 1 pound butter
• 3 pounds powdered sugar
• two 12-ounce packages of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  
• 1/2 of one bar of paraffin wax
• toothpicks for dipping
• waxed paper

Place wax paper onto cookie sheets and set aside. Cream peanut butter and butter until combined. Add sugar a little at a time. Make sure it is mixed well. Roll peanut butter mixture into approximately 400 1-inch diameter balls. Insert one tooth pick into each small peanut butter ball. Set all of them aside. Melt chocolate and paraffin (parafin helps the chocolate become shiny when it cools) in a double boiler. Be careful not to over-heat the chocolate. Dip the ball into the chocolate so as to ALMOST cover the entire ball. Leave small portion of ball uncoated. Let cool on waxed paper. Store in a cool place.

This recipe will make about 400 Buckeyes so you'll have plenty to package up & share with your friends & family.
