(I posted this in error on the what's for supper post.  this one seems to be the more appropriate home)

Buckeyes

1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup margarine or butter
½ cup peanut butter
Milk chocolate melting wafers

Mix powdered sugar and cracker crumbs.
Heat margarine and peanut butter over low heat until melted; stir into crumb mixture.  Shape into 10-inch balls.  Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or longer.

Melt chocolate wafers.  Using a toothpick, dip balls into chocolate, covering about ¾ of the ball.  Refrigerate until firm.  Then hide very quickly, because they will disappear before your eys.

BOURBON BALLS   

I had these at a friend's a few years a go, and now I make every year.

1 pkg. vanilla wafers, crushed
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. crushed nuts
2 tbsp. cocoa
2 tbsp. light Karo syrup
1/4 c. Bourbon

Mix together, roll into balls and roll in powdered sugar.


YUM!  I dug some good Kentucky bourbon (Fighting Cock, what a name!, it was a gift) out of the cabinet and made these bourbon balls.  I improvised a teeny bit.  I had some molasses gingerbread cookies that didn't turn out quite right, so I crisped them up and use them instead of the vanilla wafers (checked on line to learn that a box of vanilla wafers is 12 oz.).  I also used cane syrup instead of karo syrup (my husband picked it up at a farm market).  I used pecans for the nuts.  At first they seemed kind of dry and grainy, so I added more bourbon  >:D.  Made little balls, rolled them in the sugar and today they are FABULOUS!

Thanks for sharing Randy!

I haven't quite gotten to the chocolate dipped Ritz or the Buckeyes yet, but I am planning on trying them soon.
