Steps:
- In a mixer or medium bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract together.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until evenly combined. If using a mixer, make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
- Press together to form a dough and then divide the dough into 24 equally sized pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place it on a plate. Refrigerate the balls until firm, about an hour.
- After the peanut butter balls have chilled, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and gently heat on low until melted. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
- Using a skewer to hold a peanut butter ball, dip in the melted chocolate, leaving the top of the ball exposed.
- Place the dipped buckeye on a plate lined with a piece of parchment.
- Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and then refrigerate to firm up the chocolate.
- Once set, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
OHIO STATE BUCKEYE CANDY
There are a lot of buckeye candy recipes floating around out there, but I have found this one to be the best. Very popular during the holidays especially. One warning, once served they will be devoured before you can blink an eye.

Steps:
- Blend sugar, peanut butter and butter together thoroughly.
- Roll mixture into walnut-sized balls and insert a toothpick into each.
- Place balls on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and then put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt chocolate and paraffin in a double boiler.
- Holding onto the toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small round area near the toothpick. This will be the "eye" of the buckeye. The dipping of each ball should be done quickly so the warm chocolate does not thaw the peanut butter too much. This can cause the ball to slide off the toothpick and into the chocolate.
- Place a fresh liner of waxed paper on the cookie sheet and put the buckeys on it. Refrigerate at least one-half hour before serving. You can then place the buckeyes in a container. For best results, keep them refrigerated until you serve them.

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.

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.

BUCKEYES
These chocolate peanut butter balls (no bake!) are always popular at my church's annual Christmas fundraiser. They resemble chestnuts or buckeyes-hence the name. -Merry Kay Opitz, Elkhorn, Wisconsin
