• $1$ ($1$ pound) bag powdered sugar
• $1$ teaspoon vanilla
• $\frac{1}{2}$ cups butter
• $6$ ounces chocolate chips

Instructions

• Melt chips and paraffin in a double boiler.

Tip

Use toothpicks to dip peanut balls in chocolate and stick other end of the toothpick in a piece of Styrofoam. Your buckeyes will come out perfect this way.
