Peanut Butter Buckeyes
These delicious no-bake peanut butter buckeyes are a classic treat with a creamy peanut butter filling dipped in rich chocolate. Perfect for holidays or any sweet craving!
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 2 cups Peanut Butter
- 0.5 cup Butter unsalted, softened
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1.5 cups Chocolate Chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil or shortening
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Leave a small portion of the top uncoated to resemble a buckeye.
- Place the coated buckeyes back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the buckeyes until the chocolate is set, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For a smoother chocolate coating, you can add a bit more oil. Store buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
