Buckeyes

And here I thought the only good thing to come out of Ohio was our friends, Dave & Katie Kiss!  Seriously, though, Ohio, you’re pretty sweet (pun intended).

1 1/2 cups Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
3 to 4 cups powdered sugar, divided
2 cups Baker's Milk Chocolate

DIRECTIONS

  • Combine peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt in large bowl. Beat with mixer on low until blended. Add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until blended. Beat in additional powdered sugar until mixture, when shaped into a ball, will stay on a toothpick. Shape into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate.
  • Melt Baker's Chocolate by following directions on the package.
  • Insert toothpick in peanut butter ball. Dip 3/4 of ball into chocolate, leaving top uncovered to resemble a buckeye. Remove excess. Place on wax paper-lined tray. Remove toothpick. Smooth over holes. Refrigerate until firm.
