Time 2h12m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups (390 g) smooth peanut butter (not "natural")
1/2 cup (115 g / 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 1/2 cups (400 g) powdered sugar
3 cups (525 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Chill: Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator so the balls become firm enough to dip
  • Chill the buckeye balls: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the chocolate to solidify. Once the chocolate is solid, wet your finger and smooth over the hole the toothpick has formed with your finger.
  • Store buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat: Buckeyes can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for several weeks, or (wrapped tightly) in the freezer for several months.
