Buckeye Candy
2 cups peanut butter
1 1/2 boxes confectioners (powdered) sugar (1 1/2 lb)
2 sticks margarine (1 cup)
6 oz package chocolate chips
6 oz package butterscotch chips
2 tablespoons paraffin wax bar
Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and margarine and roll into balls.
Chill at least one hour. Melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips
and wax in double boiler or put one sauce pan into another one with
about an inch or two of boiling water. Low heat on the stove. Stir
until smooth. Dip each ball into the chocolate mixture to get the
buckeye effect. Use a toothpick to dip the balls and smooth over the
toothpick hole after dipping.
Note: We always used a piece of styrofoam to stick the toothpicks in
after dipping the buckeyes. This gave them a place to cool without
having to hold them. |
