Not sure who posted it first we had a very non PC name for them as a child but also added paraffin wax to the melted chocolate and with the chocolate we added like 2 dozen andes mints so they had that that flavor... We melted our chocolate the old way on the stove

Classic Buckeye
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 3 Cups Confectioner's Sugar, Or More As Needed
• 2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Shortening

Instructions

1. Add peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer, cream together ingredients well blended.
2. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar, beating until well combined.
3. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 60 minutes.
4. In a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening on high for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir vigorously. If needed, microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until mixture is melted.
5. Remove peanut butter balls from freezer. Insert a toothpick in the top center of a peanut butter ball and dip 3/4 of the ball, into melted chocolate, leaving the top without chocolate. allow excess chocolate to drip. Place back on the baking tray.
6. Remove the toothpick and smooth out the hole with a small offset spatula or your fingertip.
7. Allow chocolate to set before serving. Buckeye's can be served at room temperature or cold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Thanks for the recipe!

Cinnamon pecan crescent tarts, ginger snaps, coconut macaroons (chocolate and vanilla), and peanut butter cookies. Tweaked the peanut butter cookie recipe by using einkhorn flour instead of AP white flour, used whole cane (rapadura) sugar instead of white cane sugar, and cut the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/2 (much yummier).
