Buckeyes (Chocolate/Peanut Butter Balls)
2 c peanut butter1 c margarine
1 1/2 lbs powdered sugar
12 oz chocolate chips
1/3 paraffin wax
Mix peanut butter and margarine well. Add powder sugar and set
aside in refrigerator for a few minutes while you prepare the
chocolate. Melt paraffin in microwave, add chocolate chips and
heat gently, stirring until melted. To keep the chocolate from
getting too thick, place bowl over extremely hot water or a double
boiler.
Dip balls (I find using the two-fork method works best as this
allows the chocolate to drip in bowl) into chocolate and place on
wax paper. Cool until chocolate sets.
NOTES: This is a Christmas favorite to add to your cookie/candy
tray if you haven't already. The chocolate balls may be made with
plain/crunchy peanut butter and any brand (even generic) will do.
Finding the paraffin in the stores can be tricky, however, once
you purchase a box it will last a very long time and it's inexpensive.
