Buckeye Bars

My Dad used to take hours to make buckeye candies - and now my brother does.  These are actually much easier to make than the buckeye candy – but the same peanut butter-chocolate taste. Great to make when watching college bowl games - OH---IO




½ cup margarine, softened

¾ cup peanut butter

22 Nilla Wafers, crushed

2 cups powdered sugar

½ of an 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip, do not thaw

3 squared Bakers Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Line a 8 inch square pan with foil. Beat butter and peanut butter with mixer. Add wafers and sugar. Press into the bottom of the pan.

Microwave frozen Cool Whip and chocolate on high until melted, stirring 2 -3 times. Pour over peanut butter, spread to cover. Refrigerate two hours. Use foil to lift out and cut into small pieces.
