1 12 oz packaged semi sweet chocolate chips or dipping wafers
½ - 1 tbs shortening (just enough to thin the chocolate)
Instructions
Combine peanut butter, butter, and vanilla with a mixer.
Begin to add the powdered sugar, on cup at a time. Be careful with the mixer. If you have a stand mixer use the cookie paddle. If using a hand mixer move to using your hands once the mixer begins to labor
One pound of powdered sugar will most likely be enough. However, do not hesitate to use more.
The mixture is ready when it is crumbly in the bowl but hold together when pressed and rolled into balls
Form 1" balls and place on wax paper. Cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or use a small bowl over water. Add a small amount of shortening to make the melted chocolate smooth.
Using a toothpick dip each ball into the melted chocolate and place on wax paper to cool. Place the coated buckeyes back into the refrigerator to set. They are best when stored in the refrigerator.
