How to Make My Buckeyes

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a dough forms.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
If using paraffin wax, combine it with the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until completely melted and smooth. (Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each).
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate mixture, coating about 3/4 of the way up.
Place the dipped Buckeyes on wax paper or parchment paper.
Let the chocolate set completely before serving. Refrigerate for faster setting.
