Buckeyes

We were reminiscing about treats our Grandma's made during a recent dinner party. Buckeyes, a mix of peanut butter, powdered sugar and chocolate, peeked my interest. I will admit a great fondness for most treats that involve a mixture of peanut butter and chocolate.

I must agree, they are tasty. While making a batch last night for Jessica's Super Bowl party, I devoured six.

Buckeyes

    1 16 ounce package powdered sugar, sifted
    1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
    ½ cup butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    ½ teaspoon salt
    2 ounces paraffin (optional)
    1 12 ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Blend sugar, peanut butter, butter, salt and vanilla until smooth. Shape into 1 inch balls.

2. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin in top of double boiler. Dip balls in chocolate mixture with toothpick until ¾ covered. Place on waxed paper until set. Cover over hole until smooth.

Yield: 6 dozen
