Buckeyes - powdered sugar

Method

• Part one: Combine ingredients as in making pie crust - then knead until sugar is completely absorbed.
• (Best to use hands to accomplish this.)
• Now form into small balls, place on cookie sheet and refrigerate before dipping.
• Part two: Melt chocolate and paraffin in top of double boiler.
• Stir thoroughly - be sure the water stays hot while dipping and stir occaisionally.
• Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper - insert toothpick in center of the chilled peanut butter ball and dip into melted chocolate until it resembles a buckeye.
• Remove from chocolate and let drip off.
• Place on waxed paper.
• When sheet is covered, place in refrigerator.
• The chocolate becomes shiny as it cools.
• After the buckeyes are cool, rub finger over toothpick hole to make a smooth surface.
