Buckeye Balls

Made these for the holidays and they were a real hit! Everyone who had some asked for more. :-)

My family really loves buckeye balls. I make them every year. I really like it when they are really smooth and just melt in your mouth. I used 3 sticks of butter and 2 cups of peanut butter and 5 cups of powdered sugar. I chilled the mixture overnight and used a 1 tbsp cookie - Read more ...
