Buckeyes

1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. shortening
4 cups confectioners' sugar

You'll need waxed paper, a double boiler, a cookie pan, and medium bowl. In the bowl mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and sugar (mixture will be stiff). Shape into balls and place on a pan covered with waxed paper. Place into the refrigerator. In double boiler, melt chocolate and shortening. Pour into bowl and dip balls into chocolate, leaving a little circle of uncovered dough at the top to resemble a buckeye. Refrigerate for thirty minutes or until chocolate is firm. Makes 3-4 dozen.
