Answer 2

Buckeyes

Ingredients

(1 servings)

2 c Crunchy peanut butter (gener ic works fine)
1 c Confectioners sugar
1/4 c Butter (at room temperature)


Instructions

Mix well, roll into small balls and dip in mixture of 6 oz chocolate chips (melted) and 1/4 stick of parafin. let stand on rack for chocolate to drip off and firm up. Alternatively, and lots quicker, pat peanut butter mixture into a buttered pan, and top with melted chocolate chips, mark into SMALL squares before chocolate gets totally firm. After standing overnight cut. These taste just like the Reese's cups, and keep well in an airtight cannister.

Answer 4

These are nice and easy.
Peanut Butter Balls

* 2 c. powdered sugar
* 1 c. peanut butter
* 1/4 c. butter
* 1 t. vanilla
* chocolate chips
* 1 T. parafin wax
* 1 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Mix the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Roll this mixture into walnut-sized balls and freeze on a cookie sheet.

In a small, heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and wax together. (The wax will give the chocolate a shiny, smooth finish that looks really nice.) Roll the frozen balls in the liquid chocolate and then in chopped nuts (optional.) Freeze again.

These go well in gift baskets and goody plates. They also disappear quickly at any buffet. In fact….they disappear quickly anywhere.
