BUCKEYES I
This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
- Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

PEANUT BUTTER BUCKEYES
Steps:
- Chill: Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator so the balls become firm enough to dip
- Chill the buckeye balls: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the chocolate to solidify. Once the chocolate is solid, wet your finger and smooth over the hole the toothpick has formed with your finger.
- Store buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat: Buckeyes can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for several weeks, or (wrapped tightly) in the freezer for several months.

BULL'S EYE PEANUT BUTTER CANDY
These are just like little peanut butter cup balls. There is a bare circle on the top where the peanut butter shows through and this is the bull's eye (I guess). You could dip the whole thing and have just a chocolate covered ball. Anyway, they are delicious and they make a lot.

Steps:
- Mix the peanut butter mixture together well.
- Form into small balls and put in refrigerator over night.
- When ready to dip, use a double boiler and melt the wax, chocolate bits, and the squares of chocolate together.
- Using a toothpick (I sometimes use a fork so I don't have to get rid of the toothpick hole), insert it into the middle of the ball and dip in the chocolate mixture about 7/8 of the way, leaving a small eye at the top.
- Put on wax paper to cool.
