Best Ever Buckeyes Recipe

40 -50 balls
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (400 g)
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

(I added 1.5 cups chopped Trader Joe blister peanuts, could've added more. 7/24/23)

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Crisco - or. learn how to temper chocolate!

1. Mix peanut butter, margarine or butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in bowl (It helps to soften the margarine).2. Shape into 1" balls.3. Refrigerate balls.4. Meanwhile, melt chocolate with a bit of Crisco (so the chocolate will harden. Without Crisco, chocolate will remain soft.) in double boiler.5. Insert toothpick into refrigerated balls and dip into chocolate, leaving small area resembling a buckeye.6. Cool on wax paper and store in refrigerator or freezer
