My kids love these peanut butter chocolate bonbons (Buckeyes). They are easy to make, can be made in advance, pareve and sinfully delicious. However, I can't make them too often because I end up eating too many of them myself!

- 1/2 cup pareve margarine, melted
- 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 400 grams powdered sugar (16 oz)

- 400 grams pareve chocolate (16 oz)
- 3 Tbsp. margarine
- water
