Makes 7 dozen buckeyes
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
6 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
6 whole graham crackers, made into crumbs (optional)
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper; set aside. Using a wooden spoon, mix together the peanut butter, sugar, butter, vanilla, and graham crackers, if desired, in large bowl. The dough will look dry.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Set on cookie sheet and insert a toothpick into each ball. Chill in freezer until hard - about 30 minutes.
Melt the chips in bowl above a pot of simmering water over med-high heat. Stir until smooth. Remove pan. Using toothpicks, dip balls into chocolate, leaving a small circle at the top uncovered. Place dipped candies back on sheet and refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 2 hours. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
