My daughter makes this: 1 part ready to use vanilla frosting 1 part smooth peanut butter and 1.5 parts powdered sugar. Mix well. Will be stiff. Roll into bite-size balls. Can be dipped in chocolate. She usually starts with less sugar and adds until stiff enough to hold shape. Might not sound good but it really is good and less risky than getting fudge to set up correctly.
Our favorite combo is dark chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting. Smooth and yummy!

BUCKEYE BALLS (NOT AN OHIO STATE FAN EVER!!!!)
1 1/2 c. chunky Peanut Butter
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 # powdered sugar (3 1/2 cups)
Mix together with hands (I use a wooden spoon for most of the mixing). May add up to 1/2 cup more Peanut Butter.
Shape into balls. Put on waxed paper on cookie sheet. Refrigerate several hours.
Chocolate Dip
1 6 oz pkg chocolate chips (I use more if needed)
2 Tbsp Crisco (helps it to set up quicker)
I just cannot make myself eat Crisco on my cookies, so I eliminate the Crisco and put the cookies on the porch to cool. It is mighty cold up here lately---just watch for squirrels eating through your screens.
Melt this in double boiler and dip with a toothpick. Put back on waxed paper and refrigerate until cold.
(You can use candy making chocolate chips and just eliminate the Crisco.)

These are ssssssoooooo good and so easy. They have dry roasted peanuts which makes them crunchier.
