Buckeye Candy:
1 pound jar peanut butter (I use Jiffy cause it really makes a difference)
1/2 pound margarine ( stick butter softened,my choice Parkay)
1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar
Mix all this and form into 1" to 1 1/2"balls
Melt: in a double broiler(or I just use a pan setting in a pan of water)
Heat your water up to a small boil to melt the chocolate thats in the top pan.
You will need a package of chocolate chips and,
1/4 stick of paro wax(the kind you use for canning jelly)
Melt them both together( the little bit of wax just keeps the chocolate from melting in your hands and gettin gooie)
Now take your peanut butter and powdered sugar mix that you have rolled into balls,stick a toothpick in it and dip into melted chocolate.
Leave a 1/2" uncovered to look like a buckeye,sit on wax covered plate.
Continue till all are dipped and place in refrigerator.Later cover up the hole left by the toothpick by pressing a clean finger over the hole.
These taste like reeses pieces,and you can make them look like eggs for Easter.
