Ingredients

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• 1 ½ cups peanut butter
• 1 pound confectioners' sugar
• ½ cup butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine the melted butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and the vanilla together and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on waxed paper.

Step 2

In the top half of a double boiler melt the chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly. Use a toothpick to dip balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small uncovered area so balls resemble buckeyes. Place balls on waxed paper. Use fingers to blend in toothpick holes. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Enjoy!
