Request: Do you have a good recipe for peanut butter balls?

The kind I've had have a peanut-flavored center and are coated/dipped in a layer of chocolate. I've never made them before but would love to give them a try. Recipes?

Well I got the "recipe" from my mom but there really is no recipe! you just melt PB, Butter and Vanilla over medium heat until smooth then add in confectioners sugar to make the "balls". Then you just dip them in chocolate over a double boiler. I'm sorry, I don't have any measurements. I just know how to make them by look/feel...I've been making them with my mom since I was a kid! I'm sure you can google them or find them on allrecipes or something. I think some people also call them buckeyes, but i only know them as PB balls.

I don't have the exact measurements either, but when my best friend & I make them, we mix PB & powered sugar then roll them into balls.  We melt chocolate chips in a double boiler with some gulf/ parafin wax & spoon the chocolate over the PB balls.  Then let them cool in the fridge.

My mom has made these for years using this recipe. They are one of my favorite holiday treats.
