How to Make Decadent Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls
- In a large bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough becomes thick and moldable.
- Roll approximately one tablespoon of the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the shaped buckeye balls in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Using a toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, leaving the top slightly exposed.
- Place the dipped buckeyes back on the parchment paper to harden.
- Let the buckeyes chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
Chill thoroughly before dipping to maintain shape and adjust powdered sugar for natural peanut butter.
