Christmas Treats

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Here is my hubs and I in front of our first Christmas tree in our first home!!! Take note of the beautiful and fun earrings that were an early Christmas present from him :)





Here is my staple Christmas treat--Buckeye balls!

You will need:

1 box confectioners sugar
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups semisweet choc. chips
1 tablespoon crisco

Mix the first 4 ingredients slowly incorporating the sugar.

Form into balls and refrigerate one-two hours.

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chip and crisco (shortening) and dip the balls with toothpicks.

Let dry on wax paper and store!

ENJOY :) I always have people ask for this recipe--so easy and delicious!

I love those! Definitely a favorite because there is nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate!

Happy Holidays!

My Buckeye balls turned out more like...Buckeye crumbles. I think you left some important information out of your recipe, J.
