Buckeyes
List of Ingredients
Buckeyes
1 jar of JIF peanut butter (18 oz.)*
1 1/2 lbs. powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
1 1/2 cups margarine** softened
1 package (12 oz.) milk chocolate morsels***
1/4 paraffin wax, grated
Cream margarine and peanut butter well. Mix in powdered sugar, using
hands to mix well. Form into little balls approximately 1/2 inch
across. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Melt chocolate with grated paraffin
in top of double boiler. (You may melt in microwave, using glass
bowl. Stir every 30 seconds, until melted)
Using a toothpick, dip peanut butter balls into chocolate mixture,
covering 2/3 of the ball. Place on COLD metal tray, pushing the
toothpick hole closed with your fingers. I store in the refrigerator
or freezer for the best taste!
*Any kind of peanut butter may be used, but I prefer the taste of JIF.
**If you wish, you may use 1 cup of butter instead of margarine, but
they turn out a little dryer and not as smooth. ***The original
recipe called for semi-sweet chocolate morsels, but I think the milk
chocolate tastes much better.Recipe
