Ohio Buckeye's Featured in Sept.07 National Geographic Magazine
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Butter
- 32 oz Jar Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2-3 1 lb. boxes Confectioner's Sugar
- 3/4 cake Paraffin Wax
- 24 oz Chocolate Chips
Steps:
- Melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in peanut butter until completely incorporated. Remove saucepan from heat.
- Add confectioner's sugar and blend well, until peanut butter can be formed into balls without being sticky.
Add more confectioner's sugar if the mixture is still too sticky.
- When cooled, form into golf-ball size balls.
- Melt wax and chocolate chips together in double boiler. Keep the chocolate mixture hot and dip each ball to coat, using a spoon.
- The peanut butter balls will not be completely covered, so spoon the chocolate over the top of the balls and transfer them to wax paper to cool.
*Paraffin Wax is edible and tasteless. It helps the chocolate stick to the peanut butter balls.
*Chocolate and peanut butter mimic the state's tree nut.
