Buckeye's

If you were born and lived in Indiana like Doug, then you'll know what these are.  They are famous!  They sell them also at Cracker Barrel.  This recipe is from Linda Flory.

Cover cookie sheet with foil

1 stick margarine (softened)
1 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 box confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix ingredients and peanut butter.  Gradually add sugar and vanilla.  Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet

In top broiler, melt 1 6 oz package chocolate chips and scant 1 inch off end of a bar of paraffin (shaved) over low heat.  Paraffin is a candy wax found at the grocery store in the canning aisle usually.  It adds shine to chocolate and is edible.

With toothpicks, dip balls into melted chocolate about 2/3 way and replace on cookie sheet.  Place in fridge until chilled.  They also can be frozen and taken out a little at a time.
