There are many versions to this candy recipe, but I’m going to share my twist on it!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 pound confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1# Coating Chocolate
*Melt chocolate over double broiler. While that is melting you’ll want to cover your work area with waxed paper.
*In a large bowl, combine (your kiddos can do this step, if you over watch them) all of the above ingredients.
*Roll dough into quarter-sized balls, then roll each Buckeye into the chocolate, only covering 3/4th of the way so the peanut butter shows at the top. I use a tooth pick to hold the Buckeye while rolling in chocolate.
*Once the Buckeye is covered with chocolate you’ll want to place it on the waxed paper for several hours, until the chocolate is firm.
Enjoy!!
