I hope this recipe was not repeated somewhere else, but since I
think it's delicious, I wanted to share it with you since I am
new to this conference:
Ohio Buck-Eyes (Peanut Butter Balls)
12 ounces creamy peanut butter
1 16 ounce package powdered sugar
1/2 cup margarine - (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 6 ounce package chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons Crisco
Mix peanut butter, sugar, margarine and vanilla together. Shape
into small balls. Put on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
Refrigerate until hardened. Melt Crisco and the Chocolate Chips
in a double boiler until melted and pour into a small cup. Insert
toothpicks into peanutbutter balls and dip into the chocolate mixture
until they are about 3/4 covered. Refrigerate. Enjoy.
Yield: About 5 dozen
Note: When my mother made this recipe back East, she said the
peanut butter mixture was sticky so refrigerating it helped.
However, the first time I tried this recipe was out in
California and the mixture was DRY! So I added some drops
of milk or vanilla just enough so the mixture formed a nice
ball. Experiment - whatever fits your needs.

I have made this, but I use some parafin to help keep the chocolate
from melting so quickly, I use 1/4 bar to one batch of Peanut Butter
Balls. I do these at Christmas and put them in small decorative
cans, and give them as Christmas gifts to fellow employees, So
far I've had nothing but raves.... I personally dont like peanut
butter, but I know that this is most people's favorite.

> I have made this, but I use some parafin to help keep the chocolate > from melting so quickly... Do you mean parafin as in wax, or parafin as in kerosene? (Not that either one sounds expecially appetizing.) Is that what keeps chocolate from melting on your fingers? >>>==>PStJTT | |||||
