Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls

I've heard these referred to as Buckeyes as well.  Whatever you call them, they are delish!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 3/4 c confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 c melted shortening
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4-1 c chunky peanut butter
  • 1 bag semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 T shortening
Combine in large bowl and mix well the graham cracker, sugar, melted shortening and peanut butter.  Form into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.  Put in fridge 3-4 hrs or freezer 1 hr.  In small saucepan melt and stir until combined the chocolate chips and 2T of shortening.  Dip balls in chocolate sauce and place back on parchment cookie sheet in fridge/freezer until chilled and chocolate is hardened.
