Buckeyes (Peanut Butter Balls)

1.5 1-lb boxes (each lb = 3.75 cups so 5.5 cups) confectionery sugar
1 lb. (16 oz) peanut butter
1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter, softened
12 oz chocolate chips
1/2 bar paraffin wax (found with canning supplies)

Mix sugar, peanut butter, and butter until well blended. Roll tsp-sized balls and chill on sheet for 2 hrs. Melt chips and wax in a double boiler. Using a toothpick, dip balls into hot chocolate mixture to coat - leaving a small circle at the top of each where the toothpick is. Place on wax paper lined trays to cool. Use fingertip to close toothpick hole after removed if desired. Makes approximately 80 balls. Best kept refrigerated.

Note: doesn't work well with white chocolate so if you like white I drizzle a bit on top of the regular ones to make them pretty!
