Christmas is Sweet!

I love sweets and Christmas is a wonderful excuse to makes lots of them as we celebrate! You already saw our Christmas cookies, in addition to those we've made No-Bake's, Rice Crispy Treats, Seven Layer Bars (Magic Bars to some of you) and Chris' favorite - Buckeyes!  I have a super simple recipe for these that anyone can do which I would like to share with you!

Super Simple Buckeyes
1 pkg Peanut butter chips
1 Carton vanilla frosting
Dipping chocolate (I find the chocolate almond bark to be cheapest it works great!)

That's it!  Melt the chips really slowly over low heat, once melted remove from heat and add vanilla frosting.  Blend thoroughly and cool in the fridge for about an hour stirring occasionally.  Once cooled shape into one inch balls (cooling again is optional at this point but it can help when you dip them in the chocolate).  Melt the dipping chocolate (if microwaving only cook for 10-15 seconds at a time or you may scorch the chocolate), use a toothpick to dip the ball of peanut butter into the chocolate leaving a circle on top uncovered so they look like real buckeyes, put on wax paper and back into the fridge to cool completely.  Enjoy!
