How to Make Peanut Butter Buckeyes![]()
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 6 ounces of dark chocolate wafers or other coating chocolate
Directions
- Mix the peanut butter, butter, and sugar together adding more powdered sugar if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Form little round balls the size of a large marble. Refrigerate the balls until firm.
- Melt the chocolate. Dip the peanut butter balls in the chocolate using toothpicks as skewers to hold the balls. Cover all but the top portion of the balls.
- Set aside until the chocolate sets. Store leftover buckeyes in the refrigerator.
Baker's note: This recipe was tested with 100% peanut butter, the kind that needs to be refrigerated after opening. If you use shelf-stable peanut butter, the buckeyes may not need to be refrigerated. We prefer the 100% peanut butter.
