Buckeye Bars

[4tomorrow]

We call them Buckeye Bars here in ohio, I don't know if they are called anything else in other places.

Melt 1 cup peanut butter and one cup casein free margarine in a med/large sauce pan. ( I use earth balance margarine).

When completely melted stir in 1 lb. of confectioners sugar.

Press into a 9x13 ungreased pan.

Next melt 2 cups enjoy life chocolate chips and 1/2 cup peanut butter.

Once Melted smooth onto top of peanut butter mixture.

I put mine in the freezer for about an hour to set then move to the refridgerator. They tend to sweat a little if out for over an hour so keep this in mind if serving to a group.

These are very good and I can never seem to keep out of them. I normally make half a batch if not serving to company.

I make these every holiday time when I can get the kids to come and roll balls ... a recipe makes a ton!! I freeze 'em and have 'em for months!!

Gotta love chocolate and peanut butter!!

I flippin love those things! Definitely agree, doesn't get any better than chocolate and PB.

By the way, both of my parents are from Ohio, and that's who I learned about "Buckeyes" (the candy!) from... so I wonder if it is an Ohio thing? Or is it b/c when you roll them into balls, they do kinda look like buckeyes... Oh well, who cares how they got their name, they taste good and they're gluten-free!!!!
