We love us some chocolate and peanut butter! This combination had to be created by the chocolate Gods! Every Christmas mama would make these delightful treats for us and we absolutely loved them. Caleb and Alli always ask us to make these when we are doing all our baking! It is a must have around our household.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Buckeyes

This is what you need-
2 lbs. powdered sugar
3 cups peanut butter (smooth and not the all-natural kind)
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 lb. chocolate chips, semi-sweet (24 oz.)
1/2 bar edible paraffin wax*

How to make buckeyes-
Whip the first three ingredients with an electric mixer and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. After it’s chilled, roll it into small, 1-inch balls. Put these back into the fridge or freezer on parchment-covered baking sheets.

Melt the chocolate and wax in a double boiler, over, not in, boiling water, stirring mixture until smooth. Keep warm.

Dip balls using toothpick, leaving uncovered spot on top. You may fill in toothpick marks with little bits of peanut butter mixture. Dry on waxed paper. Chill covered in refrigerator or freezer. When completely hard, store in the refrigerator or freezer.
