BUCKEYES I

This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.

Time 50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
  • Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

BUCKEYE CHEESE BALL



Buckeye Cheese Ball image

Raised in NY but born in Ohio makes me a Buckeye. Anyone that has ever eaten a buckeye knows that it is all about the chocolate and peanut butter. Here is a twist on a cheese-ball involving those two ingredients.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
3/4 cup(s) creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoon(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 cup(s) semi-sweet mini chocloate chips
- graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams and/or apple slices for dippiing

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until blended. Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap; bring up all four corners and twist tightly forming into a ball shape. Freeze for 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm enough to keep its shape.
  • Place chocolate chips in flat dish. Remove plastic wrap from ball and roll ball into morsels to completely cover (leave a bare spot on top for the buckeye "eye" if desired), pressing morsels into the ball if necessary.
  • Place ball on serving dish; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until almost firm. (Can be made ahead. If frozen overnight, thaw at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.) Serve with graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, or apple slices for dipping or spreading.
