Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 3.25 cup powdered sugar sift if lumpy
- 11 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped bar chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening, to thin chocolate
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Beat peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until a soft, moldable dough forms.
- Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls. Arrange on the prepared sheet.
- Chill the peanut butter balls until firm, about 25 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in short microwave bursts, stirring until glossy.
- Insert a toothpick into each ball. Dip two-thirds into chocolate, leaving a peanut butter “eye.”
- Set dipped buckeyes back on the sheet, smooth the toothpick hole, and chill until set.
Notes
Swap semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate and finish with a light pinch of flaky salt. For neat rounds, chill the rolled balls 10 minutes, then reroll before dipping. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.
