Peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate — what's not to love about buckeyes?! Decadent and irresistibly sweet, this buckeyes recipe will become a tradition in your household.
Ingredients
- peanut butter (1.5 cups)
- butter (1 cup)
- vanilla extract (0.5 teaspoon)
- confectioners' sugar (4 cups)
- semisweet chocolate chips (4 cups)
- toothpicks (60 )
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Beat peanut butter, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in confectioners' sugar until dough is stiff, firm, and dry with no lumps; add more sifted sugar as needed.
- Roll dough into about sixty 1-inch balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheets. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Place chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
- Hold the toothpicks and dip frozen peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top.
- Return to the cookie sheet, remove and discard the toothpicks, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
