April Fools Prank Dessert - and - Dinner

1 1/2 lbs. extra lean ground beef
1 eggs
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 Tbls. minced fresh onion
1 Tbls. lemon juice
2 Tbls. brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2/3 cup ketchup
4 ounces of chili sauce

4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs,
onion and parsley... make 3 dozen meatballs about 1.5 inches
meatballs. Combine lemon juice, sugar, ketchup and chili sauce

set aside about 6 meatballs to cook separately for the April Fools
Surprise for your Family - those you will brown in a skillet on
the stove and then wrap in paper towels to soak off the grease...
place those 6 in the refrigerator to cool till later.

In a crock pot (electric slow cooker)... once the sauce has been
thoroughly combined - gently stir in the meatballs.

Set the cooker dial on low heat, cover with lid and cook for
8 - 10 hours.

Now - for the April Fools Day - Prank on Your Family:
Melt 4 cups of semisweet chocolate chips..
Take the chilled refrigerated 6 meatballs that you
browned in the skillet on the stove... stick a toothpick
in each one and gently lower them totally down into
the melted semisweet chocolate chips... gently
rotate in the chocolate to completely coat...
set them on wax paper in a plastic dish that will
have a lid you can tightly seal and re-refrigerate...

after dinner... bring them out on a plate for desert...
call them Buckeyes... LOL....
