Ohio Buckeyes

1 c. creamy peanut butter
4 oz plus 3 tbsps softened butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 to 4 c.s confectioners sugar, about 1 pound

3 c.s semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
Beat peanut butter, butter and vanilla until smooth. Slowly stir or beat in confectioners' sugar . Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place on wax paper lined cookie sheet and chill in freezer or until firm.


Melt chocolate

Spear a peanut butter ball with toothpick or dipping fork and dip ball into the chocolate to cover most of it. Place chocolate side down on cookie sheet. If desired, leave the top uncovered to resemble the Ohio buckeye nuts. If desired, drizzle more butter over the balls to fill in gaps made by toothpick or dipping fork. Refrigerate buckeyes for about 2 hours or longer, or until the chocolate is set. Store buckeyes tightly covered in refrigerator or freezer.
