1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Shortening

Mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in bowl (It helps to soften the butter). Shape into 1" balls. Refrigerate balls. Meanwhile, melt chocolate with a bit of crisco (so the chocolate will harden. Without shortening, chocolate will remain soft.) in double boiler. Insert toothpick into refrigerated balls and dip into chocolate, leaving small area resembling a buckeye. Cool on wax paper and store in refrigerator or freezer.
