1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
6 Cups Confectioners’ Sugar
4 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

DIRECTIONS:

1) In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, 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 one and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.

3) Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir Frequently.

4) Dip the frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate 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. Editors Note: Instead of using 1 1/2 Cups of Peanut Butter, substitute the 1/2 cup with Nutella for an extra hint of chocolate
