I am on my second Pampered Chef Measure-All Cup, because I accidentally melted the first one, but I love this little gadget. On one side you have a very basic 2-cup measure with a spout for liquid. Flip it over and you have a measuring cup for solids. You just set the amount you want, fill it up and then press the inner cup to dispense your ingredients. It is actually a lot more simple than it sounds and it works great, especially for things like corn syrup and peanut butter that are such a pain to scrape out of a measuring cup. As one who REALLY likes peanut butter it goes to good use in my kitchen. The retail value is $9.00 and if you don’t know anyone that sells pampered chef you can just go to the website and order it, here is the link www.pamperedchef.com

Talking about Peanut butter and the Pampered Chef Measure-All Cup makes me think of one of my favorite indulgences; Buckeye Candies. Buckeyes are a chocolate covered peanut butter ball. I usually make them at Christmas time because the recipe I have makes a TON, so you can eat some and give the rest away in goody trays. They also freeze really well too. Here is the recipe…
1 1/2 lbs confectioners' sugar
1 16 oz jar crunchy peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1 12 oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon crisco
In the bowl of a food processor, add 1/2 the quantity of the butter, sugar, peanut butter. Process until well combined.
Shape into 1 inch balls. Refrigerate. Repeat this process with remaining ingredients.
In the top of a double boiler, combine Crisco and chocolate, simmering and stirring until chocolate has melted. (If you don't have a double boiler, melt it in a small metal bowl over boiling water in a saucepan).
Using a toothpick dip each ball in chocolate until partially coated. Place on wax paper or silicone sheets.
Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.
