Ingredients

• 1½ cups peanut butter
• 1 cup butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 cups confectioners sugar
• 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate candy coating

Directions

• Line a large tray or baking sheet with wax paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, peanut butter,vanilla extract and butter, stirring until well blended.
• Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls, and place the balls on a wax paper-lined baking 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 microwave (about 1 minute).
• Using the toothpick as a handle, dip each peanut butter ball in chocolate.
• Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes.
• Place chocolate covered peanut butter balls on wax paper and remove the toothpick.
• Once the peanut butter has softened, you can use a finger to smooth over the hole from the toothpick.
• Refrigerate, until chocolate is set. Store in refrigerator until eating or gifting.
