Ingredients

1.       3 tablespoons salted butter softened

2.       1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3.       1 cup powdered sugar

4.       10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

·         Mix up the first three ingredients, including the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar.

·         Take about a tablespoonful of the peanut butter mixture and begin to roll it between your hands. Shape it into as round of a ball as you can and place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

·         Continue rolling until all of your peanut butter mixture has been rolled into peanut butter balls.

·         Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour.

·         Melt the chocolate according to package directions.**

·         Once your chocolate is ready to go, you can remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and start dipping right away.

·         As you partially dip each buckeye into the chocolate, using a toothpick or dipping tool, place it back on the wax paper lined cookie sheet.

·         Chill the chocolate covered peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer ’til set, probably about 15-20 minutes.

·         Store them in an airtight container or festive Christmas tin (lined with wax paper) in the fridge.***
