Peanut Butter Buckeyes

 A new favorite and much less tedious than the traditional peanut butter cups.  

• 1 1/2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup Butter, softened
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Powdered Sugar
• 6 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
• 2 T Shortening 
• Wax paper

Mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar to form a stiff dough. Shape into balls. about 1 - 2 tsp per ball. Cool long enough to set.
Melt shortening and chocolate together.
Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate with toothpick and return to fridge/freezer to set. If the hole from the toothpick bothers you, just smooth over the hole while they're still a little warm.
