December 28 - National Chocolate Candy Day

      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)
