Almond Butter Buckeye Balls

yields @50 candies

1 1/2 cups fresh almond butter

3 3/4 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp Mexican vanilla

1/2 cup butter

mix till crumbly then shape into bite sized balls & place in the refrigerator or freezer to cool.

6 0z simi sweet chocolate chips

2 tbs butter add more to make chocolate runny

melt in microwave at low temp. i use level 4 for 2 min intervals keeping my chocolate ready for candy dipping by placing my pyrex bowl of melted chocolate in a frying pan filled with boiling water. occasionally i turn the stove on low to warm the water.

dip balls with a chocolate coated toothpick & cover until resembles an eye ball. freeze & enjoy! with all the effort that goes into making buckeye balls, i double the recipe.
