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

  1. 1

    Cream the peanut butter and butter together with the vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.

  3. 3

    Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls. About 20g if you're weighing.

  4. 4

    Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill until firm. At least 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
