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.
