I have lived in many cities in several states, but mostly grew up in Ohio, the Buckeye State, where this candy is very popular. You are supposed to make it leaving a bit of peanut butter showing on top so it looks like a real buckeye, but I just covered them completely this time. These are better than Reese's Cups to me!
Buckeyes
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 t. vanilla
4 c. powdered sugar
2 c. milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate candy melts
Mix peanut butter, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar a little at a time, stirring to blend. When well blended, chill for at least 1 hour. Roll into balls and dip into melted chocolate. Let dry on wax paper (if you can wait that long!).
