2. Form Balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into little balls, approximately the size of quarters. The mixture may be a bit dry, which is normal.

3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and wax together until smooth and fully melted.

4. Dip Balls: Using a toothpick, pierce each peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring that it’s fully coated. Leave the top exposed, resembling a Buckeye nut.

5. Place on Wax Paper: Carefully place each coated ball onto a sheet of wax paper to cool. Make sure to leave enough space between each Buckeye so they don’t stick together.

6. Let Cool: Allow the Buckeyes to cool completely until the chocolate hardens. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes at room temperature.

7. Cover Toothpick Holes: Once the chocolate has dried and hardened, you can cover the toothpick holes with a small dab of melted chocolate or leave them as is for an authentic Buckeye look.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, serve these delicious Chocolate & Peanut Butter Buckeyes as a treat for any occasion! They’re perfect for parties, dessert tables, or as a sweet snack any time of the day.
