Irresistible buckeye balls: bite-sized chocolate-covered peanut butter treats, perfect for sharing! Recipe yields 5 dozen.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions:
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with waxed paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until a smooth stiff dough forms. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to coat with chocolate.
  • Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in a metal bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Take the chilled peanut butter balls out of the refrigerator.
  • Skewer the ball with a wooden toothpick, then dip it into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place it back on the baking sheet, chocolate side down, and gently pull out the toothpick.
  • Coat the rest of the balls by repeating the process from Step 5. Chill the coated balls in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
