Angie's Buckeyes

BUCKEYES!

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups confectioners' sugar

4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.

2. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.

3. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.

4. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.


Melissa's Chugwater Chili (and cider)

Chugwater Chili
You can find the chili mix here! chugwaterchili.com
2lbs ground beef brown and drain fat
3TB Chugwater Chili mix (more or less to taste) or use chili power and chop up some onion!
1 15oz can of tomato sauce and water
2 cans of pinto beans, I use one can of pinto and one can of kidney (Do not drain the beans)
Add all ingredients and bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Top with sour cream, cheddar cheese, Frito's, green onions, crackers or what ever your heart desires!
Apple Cider
64 oz jug of apple juice, I use Mott's Natural pressed (It looks cloudy in the jug)
1/2-1 orange cut in rings
5-10 whole cloves
4-5 cinnamon sticks; plus more for serving
You can adjust the orange, cloves and cinnamon to taste if you like stronger cider!
Hint: you can buy spice bags and put the cloves and cinnamon sticks in the bag so people don't get them in their glass
Crock pot: Put all ingredients in and turn on high till hot then turn to low.
Stove top: combine all ingredients and bring to a biol then reduce heat to low.
