I rarely do any big blowout recipes anymore.\u00c2\u00a0 There just isn’t time. When I do, it’s almost never a dessert recipe.\u00c2\u00a0 Leah and I were invited to a chocolate party last month that required us to make a dish to share.\u00c2\u00a0 Leah came up with this recipe for peanut butter chocolate buckeyes. The recipe itself is stupid-simple, but there’s a lot of rolling involved if you want to make a whole batch (we halved it).\u00c2\u00a0 This would also be a fun recipe to make with kids, though older kids than our little Ava. So, without further ado, I bring you:<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Buckeyes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 (18 ounce) jar creamy peanut butter<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup butter or margarine (softened)<\/li>\n

    1. Cream peanut butter and butter.
    \n2. Add sugar and vanilla and mix well.
    \n3. Form into 1 inch balls and refrigerate.
