Creating Your Buckeye Candy Recipe Masterpiece:

1. Combine margarine, vanilla, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, and icing sugar and mix until well blended.
2. Shape into 3/4 inch balls. If the mixture isn't firm enough to shape, try putting it in the fridge for an hour or so. You should be able to shape them once they are set.
3. Place on the wax paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate overnight.
4. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin wax in double boiler or a medium bowl over a sauce pan of simmering water.
5. Stick toothpick in the balls and dip 3/4 of the ball in the melted chocolate mixture.
6. Set on the wax paper lined cookie sheet and freeze.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge so the chocolate doesn't get soft. You can also freeze them for a couple months, just take them out the day before you want them and let them defrost in the fridge.
