Buckeyes (Sam's favorite)

1 pound confectionary sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 oz. Bag chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Line cookie sheet with wax paper. Mix peanut butter, vanilla and confectionery sugar with your hands to form dough. Form into teaspoon size balls. Put on cookie sheet and refrigerate until hard.

Melt chocolate chips and shortening in saucepan on low heat. Do not boil. Stick a toothpick in each ball and dip in chocolate just on the bottom and refrigerate until hard.
