In a bowl, combine peanut butter and butter until totally combined; smooth and creamy.

Stir in vanilla; mix well.

Add powdered sugar a little at a time until dough-like and easy to form into balls. Depending on weather conditions, you may use more or less.

Roll into balls and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm; about 1-2 hours.

Melt chocolate in microwave or on top of a double boiler until completely melted and smooth.

Remove balls from fridge and dip bottom half only into the melted chocolate. Return to waxed paper lined sheet to dry.

When done dipping all, drizzle remaining chocolate over the tops (I use a spoon). Allow to dry completely. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator. ENJOY!

NOTE: This recipe will yield anywhere from 48-60 buckeyes depending on size. I use a small cookie scoop to keep balls uniform. This is also great at Easter to shape into egg shapes, dip into melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles or as desired.
