I was going to post a question regarding setting up this mode, but figured it out before I started to write. For any who care...

--Router A (NTP Master)--

interface Ethernet1
 ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
 media-type 10BaseT
 ntp broadcast key 1
!
!
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 14141B180F0B 7
! Item Below is inserted automatically
ntp clock-period 17180134
! This router's public stratum 2 NTP Server
ntp server 198.49.126.4

--Router B (NTP Broadcast Client)
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
 ntp broadcast client
!
!
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 104D000A0618 7
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp clock-period 17179686

Below is the output from "show ntp associations detail." Important to note are the "authenticated", "sane", and "valid" properties.
