Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Old Fashioned Buckeyes 7 cups sifted confectioners sugar 1 cup butter, softened 1 16 or 18 ounce jar creamy peanut butter 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels 1 tablespoon shortening Process butter and peanut butter in a food processor until thoroughly blended. Add 3 cups powdered sugar and process until smooth. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar in two batches, processing after each addition until mixture pulls away from sides and is no longer crumbly. Shape mixture into 1 inch balls. Cover and chill thoroughly. Combine chocolate morsels and shortening and melt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Use a wooden pick to dip each ball in chocolate, coating about three fourths of ball to resemble a buckeye. Place on wax paper. Carefully smooth over wooden pick holes. Let candies stand until chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 What an interesting recipe. Wonderful sweet treat for warm weather when you want some little bite and don't want to bake a batch of cookies. Thanks, Myrtle; just placed this one in our files under the candies folder. Also filed your delicious peachy orange shake drink in our smoothy folder. ~ PT ~ , Myrtle Killian <myrtleskies wrote: > > Old Fashioned Buckeyes > > 7 cups sifted confectioners sugar > 1 cup butter, > softened > 1 16 or 18 ounce jar creamy peanut butter > 2 cups semisweet > chocolate morsels > 1 tablespoon shortening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
