Tinfoil Chef

I remember seeing this once upon a time when I lived in Ohio. I never cared for it myself because peanut butter is a primary ingredient and I personally have no use for the stuff. However just because I don’t care for something doesn’t change the fact that LOTS of other people do like it. Judging by how fast these things used to disappear, I’d say that most everybody who had ‘em, liked them quite a bit.

Why are they called Buckeyes? Because when they’re done they sorta resemble a Buckeye. That and I’m sure the recipe originated with an Ohio State Buckeye fan.

Mix a cup of creamy peanut butter and a stick of butter until it’s creamy. Add 1 3/4 cups of powdered sugar a little bit at a time. When the powdered sugar is fully incorporated refrigerate it for a half hour or so.

Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls and put them on cookie sheets or trays lined with wax paper and freeze for 30 minutes or until they’re firm.

Then, in a microwave safe dish, melt 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips or almond bark in the microwave. Heat it for 30 seconds at a time until it’s melted enough to work with. Be careful not to overheat or the chips or almond bark will scorch and that will be bad for the taste.

Insert toothpicks in the frozen peanut butter balls and dip them in the chocolate or almond bark. Let ‘em cool on wax paper and keep ‘em someplace cool.

1 cup creamy peanut butter
