         Title: Buckeye Candy For St. Nicholas Day   
    Categories: Candy, Nuts, Chocolate   
         Yield: 6 servings   
       
         1 c  Peanut butter   
         2 c  Powdered sugar   
       1/4 lb Salted butter   
         1 ts Vanilla   
         1 sm Package of chocolate chips   
         1 tb Edible wax; opt   
       
     Mix together peanut butter, butter and vanilla.   
        
     Stir in powdered sugar. If using an electric mixer, you   
     may need additional powdered sugar. The mixture should   
     be firm and when rolled into balls, they shouldn’t stick   
     to your hands or fingers when you touch them. Use   
     powdered sugar to keep your hands mostly clean.   
        
     If sticky, add more powdered sugar. If it is too firm   
     (meaning it cracks when you try and roll it or tastes   
     more like sugar and less like peanut butter), add more   
     peanut butter.   
        
     Roll peanut butter into balls and refrigerate until   
     firm.   
        
     Use a double boiler to melt chocolate chips, but then   
     allow it to cool until it is just at the point where it   
     will solidify again. If you do not want to fuss with   
     this, you can add edible wax (available at the grocery   
     store), which will help the chocolate to harden faster.   
     (You only need about 2 tablespoons' worth.) One other   
     option is to use a nice chocolate bar, especially a dark   
     chocolate and a Hershey's bar, because the wax content   
     is so high in Hershey's that it will allow the buckeyes   
     to dry fairly fast.   
        
     Using a skewer, you dip the peanut butter balls into the   
     chocolate, covering most of the peanut butter. I find   
     that tapping off the extra chocolate helps it set   
     faster.   
        
     If the peanut butter falls into the chocolate, it is   
     either not cold enough or it needs additional powdered   
     sugar.   
        
     Put the dipped candy onto a cold baking pan lined with   
     parchment. Once the tray is full, put it in the fridge   
     to harden. It is best to keep these cold so they are   
     less messy.   
        
     Makes 6 dozen (depending on how big you make the balls)
