Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter Preferably unsweetened
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large mixing bowl, blend the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the mixture holds together and can be shaped into balls.
  • Shape the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion uncovered at the top to resemble a buckeye. Return the balls to the baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate the buckeye balls until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store buckeye balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. These can also be frozen for longer storage.
