Buckeyes

1 1/2 cups peanut butter
6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
6 whole graham crackers, pulverized into crumbs (optional)

1. Blend peanut butter, sugar, butter, and vanilla (plus graham cracker crumbs, if desired. (Dough will look dry).
2. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Stick a toothpick into each ball as you roll them (you'll use the toothpick to dip the candy into the chocolate). Chill in freezer until hard (1/2 hour).
3. Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler (use very low heat and stir continuously).
4. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate using the toothpick as a handle. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like buckeyes. Put back on the wax paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate 2 hours.
