So named because of the way they look!

Buckeyes

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup finely ground graham cracker crumbs

1 cup powdered sugar

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

1. Combine peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar in a bowl or a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Roll teaspoonfuls of peanut butter mixture into balls. Refrigerate until ready to dip in melted chocolate.
3. Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in the top of a double boiler until very liquid. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each ball into chocolate leaving just the very top of the ball exposed. Set on a foil or waxed paper-lined baking sheet, setting each ball on the peanut butter end. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.

Makes 3 dozen.
