My niece, Molly, made buckeye candy that was a hit with the peanut butter lovers in the family. Molly says this recipe is child-friendly. Her 8-year old daughter helped her make these. Except for melting the chocolate, there is no other cooking involved.

1 bag wilton cocoa candy morsels

Mix the peanut butter and butter in a large bowl until creamy. Mix in the powdered sugar until mixture holds together and is moistened. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for one hour.

Melt the cocoa candy morself in a Wilton melting pot or in a double boiler.

Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate using a toothpick. Leave a small portion of the center uncovered. Place the dipped balls onto waxed paper. Let sit until the chocolate is firm.
