Buckeyes contributed by beej

Buckeyes
1/2 cup softened margarine
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 c. peanut butter (smooth)
3 c. rice krispies
1 pkg. chocolate bark (or 2 12oz pkg of choc. chips and 2/3 stick of paraffin)

Mix first 4 ingredients. Form into 1" balls. Refrigerate until firm. Once mixture is firm, Melt chocolate bark in microwave (time will vary depending on microwave) or over low heat on stove top, stirring frequently. Dip balls into melted chocolate, leaving small area uncoated to resemble a buckeye. Set on wax paper for the chocolate coating to cool and set.
Note: I usually cover the whole ball so mine don't look like "buckeyes" - I've also used the butterscotch flavored bark and white almond bark and both are also yummy. The choclate version tastes similar to scotcheroos or a reeses.
