You'll love these easy to make and DELICIOUS buckeyes, creamy, perfectly sweet peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth, 240g
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter 70g
- 2 cups powdered sugar 240g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5mL
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate 340g
- 2 tbsp coconut oil 30mL, optional
DIRECTIONS
- Cream the peanut butter and butter together with the vanilla extract.
- Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.
- Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls. About 20g if you're weighing.
- Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill until firm. At least 20 minutes.
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt on 50% power in the microwave. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Use a skewer or toothpick to dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Leave a bit of the peanut butter exposed for that signature buckeye pea look.
- Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up and enjoy. If you want to remove the holes left from the skewers, run a small knife or spatula over the tops.
