Buckeye Balls

Here is the recipe I have used it turned out good, if anyone has a better one I would love to try it. Or if anyone knows an easier way of dipping??

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 TBS shortening

Comine the melted butter, sugar, peanut butter, and the vanilla together, mix well. Refrigerate for 1hour or until firm. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on waxed paper.

In the half of double boiler melt the chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly. Use a toothpick to dip balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small uncovered are so balls resemble buckeyes. Place balls on waxed paper. Use fingers to blend in toothpick holes. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, enjoy.
