Buckeye Balls
This is a great Christmas candy to have at home with your family or give as a gift. Makes 4 dozen (24 servings).
4 (16 ounce) jars peanut butter
3 1/2 (16 ounce) packages confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, melted
3 (12 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 Blend together the peanut butter, sugar and melted butter. Allow to chill in refrigerator.
2 Roll into 1 inch round balls and return to refrigerator.
3 In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the chocolate and shortening. Whisk together until smooth.
4 With a toothpick inserted in the balls, dip them into the chocolate so they look like buckeyes. Place on waxed paper and allow to set in refrigerator.
Rice is born in water and must die in wine.
~Italian Proverb
Cloves: This has a very strong flavor and is traditionally known to be used in mulled wine. It can also be used in biscuits and deserts.
