Time mixed, rolling peanut butter mixture to 1-inch balls & placing balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
On the top of each ball, press down on a toothpick (to be used later as a dip handle) and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until it hardens.
In microwave, melting chocolate chips for 2 min .
Dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate, using the toothpick as a handle.
And you need to let a little portion peanut butter on top to making it look like Buckeyes.
