How to Make DELICIOUS Buckeyes (Candy)

Now, I know everybody has had these before, right?? Well, if not - you HAVE to try them!! Very easy, and they are AWESOME!!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 stick of Margarine
• 1 cup Peanut Butter (Smooth)
• 3/4 lb. Powdered Sugar
• 1/2 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 2 Tbsp Shortening (Crisco)

1. First, soften the butter in the microwave. When done, get a large mixing bowl. Add the softened butter, the peanut butter, and the sugar. Mix well it well - you should use your hands to mix this - it works better that way. Now, form them into balls, then place in the refrigerator for 1 day.

2. TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE COATING: Read step 3 - I have divided them to make it easier to read - not all bunched up, you know?

3. Melt the chips and the shortening in a small pan on the stove, and dip the balls into the chocolate, using a toothpick to hold them. This is why you should let them harden for 1 day. Place them on waxed paper to cool, so they don't stick. I cool mine in the fridge until they set.

4. Enjoy your yummy Buckeyes!!!!
