Delight in the nostalgic combination of peanut butter and chocolate with these easy-to-make buckeye balls, perfect for sharing or indulging.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

  1. Combine your sweet base: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until it forms a smooth dough.
  2. Roll into balls: Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Give them a chill: Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until firm. This step is key for easy dipping later!
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Be cautious not to overheat; we want it silky!
  5. Dip into decadence: Dip each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
  6. Set to perfection: Return the chocolate-covered balls to the baking sheet and let them set in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed nuts when serving.
