The Residents at The Commons decided to make one of our favorite homemade candies, Buckeyes!  We used a classic recipe that took us back in time and we shared stories from our childhood days.  Here is our recipe and we hope you try it soon! Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (softened) or 1/2 cup margarine (softened)

• 12 ounces chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

Directions

1. Cream peanut butter and butter.
2. Add sugar and vanilla and mix well.
3. Form into 1 inch balls and refrigerate.
4. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler.
5. Dip balls into chocolate with a toothpick about 3/4 of the way covered.
6. Place chocolate side down on waxed paper.
7. Let set at room temperature or refrigerate.
