OHIO

BUCKEYES

30 servings

INGREDIENTS:

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ½ cups peanut butter
• 1 cup butter
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 6 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, vanilla, and confectioners’ sugar. The dough will look dry.  Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
2. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used late as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
3. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
4. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate while holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
