A couple of days ago I promised to track down this recipe for you if nobody beat me to it. Well, the friend who gave us the Buckeyes at Christmas just called so I got it.

Here goes.

Mix these ingredients:
2 Cups peanut butter
3 Cups confectioner's sugar
1/2 lb. of butter

And....

Melt together:
A 12 oz. pkg. of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 layer of paraffin wax

And then....

Roll the peanut butter mixture into balls and dip them in the melted chocolate & paraffin mix to make them look like Buckeyes. (No, not like people from Ohio. Make them look like the Buckeyes from the tree.)

Whalen, this is wicked, wicked stuff I am giving you the recipe for. But you know that already and you asked. Have fun.
