Smucker’s Buckeye Recipe  

1 ½ cups Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter

Melt chocolate. Mix peanut butter, sugar, margarine, and vanilla until semi-dry and crumbly. Shape into 1/2-inch balls. Dip balls into melted chocolate, leaving the top of the ball uncovered to resemble a buckeye. Place balls on wax paper lined baking pan. Refrigerate until set.

Makes approximately five dozen.
