Buckeyes
Ingredients
- 1/4 pound margarine
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 pound
confectioners sugar
- 1 pound dipping
chocolate
Method
Combine ingredients
thoroughly. Roll into 1 inch balls and turn onto wax paper covered cookie
sheet. You may need to let set awhile or chill. Melt dipping chocolate in
top of double boiler or microwave on 50 %. Don't have chocolate hotter
then 120° F. Drop a ball of candy into chocolate, leave top uncoated.
With a table fork dipped under the ball, lift it and let the excess
chocolate run off of it. Place it on the wax paper covered cookie sheet,
using a toothpick to hold the ball so fork can be removed.
Store tightly covered in
a cool dry place. Will keep 3 - 6 weeks.
