Holiday Tasting Party Recipes

RECIPE NAME: BUCKEYE TREATS

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Combine peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla. Dough will look dry. Roll dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter and place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Insert toothpick into each ball (to be used as handle during dipping) and chill in freezer until hard (about 1/2 hour). Melt chocolate chips. Use top of double boiler over very low heat for best results (other chocolate gets grainy texture). Dip frozen dough balls in the chocolate using toothpick as handle. Leave small circle of dough uncovered to make it look like buckeye. Place buckeyes back on cookie sheet and refrigerate for 2 hours.
