Peanut butter balls aka Buckeye Balls

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the melted butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Beat on low with an electric mixer until fully combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop (or a spoon), scoop the mixture and roll into approximately 1″ to 1.5″ balls. Place on your prepared pan and repeat until you’re out of mixture.
  • Put the pan of balls in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.
  • Melt the chocolate according to the directions (30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir).
  • Use a toothpick to poke the balls, dip into the chocolate (I left the tops exposed), let any excess chocolate drip off, then place back on the parchment lined pan. Repeat until you’re done.
  • Place back in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Once they were done, I removed all the toothpicks and smoothed over the hole marks.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Peanut Butter Balls will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in a fridge.
