Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeyes

Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup organic margarine spread
5 1/2 cups confectionary sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pure almond extract
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 cups of ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, add peanut butter, margarine confectionary sugar, salt, almond extract and vanilla extract. Start to mix slowly so confectionary sugar does not get everywhere. Mix it well. Then roll into tiny balls and insert a toothpick in each ball and freeze for at least a half hour. Melt chocolate in a microwaveable mixing bowl for approximately 3-5 minutes at 50% power, stopping a few times to stir chocolate chips. I melt 2 cups of chocolate at a time. Don't over heat them or chocolate will be ruined. Dip the balls in the melted chocolate and place on waxed paper, a silpat or greased sheet. Let chocolate harden and serve.
