Holiday Balls???? Buckeyes

Everyone likes holiday balls, right? And especially when they are green.....that's my favorite color.

I can't believe November is almost over with.....DANG!! How time flies....

I was so busy this weekend that I couldn't find time to sit down and work on my posts for this week. So here I am today posting for today.....it's just not suppose to be like that. I am suppose to be organized and ahead in my work. You all follow me for a reason, right?

I also missed a school assignment because of my busy-ness this weekend.....UGH!! But I stayed home from church yesterday to complete it.

I really hate that feeling when I feel like I'm running behind.

And I bring you "holiday balls" just to get you all confused and dirty minded....

This is the holiday balls I'm talking about. Everyone loves buckeyes, correct?

But I quickly found out through my Facebook Fan Page that not everyone knows what a buckeye candy is. It must be an Ohio treat?

That is why I'm posting the recipe today. I assumed that everyone knows how to make buckeyes.....OOPS!!

I was invited by a local business to make some holiday candy for their Christmas open house.

My daughter and I worked very hard to make three different kinds of candy. We had chocolate flying everywhere in the kitchen....

And we accomplished a deadline.....All these candies made it to the open house.

Buckeyes

1 1/2 c. peanut butter

1 c. butter, soft

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

6 c. confectioners' sugar

4 c. melting chocolate for candy

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.

Chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Stir frequently until smooth.

Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate using a toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like buckeyes. Place them back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
