Provided by Sam Merritt

Categories     Candy     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups creamy peanut butter (not "natural" peanut butter) ((475g))
½ cup salted butter (softened (113g))
2 Tablespoons brown sugar* (packed)
1 ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ¼ cups powdered sugar ((405g))
12 oz dark chocolate melting wafers ((340g))

Steps:

  • Combine peanut butter and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well-combined.
  • Add brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir well.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined. Scoop into Tablespoon-sized balls and roll with the palms of your hand until smooth and round.**
  • Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
  • While peanut butter balls are chilling, prepare your chocolate according to package instructions. Pour into a deep dish (I use a wide cup).
  • Remove peanut butter balls from freezer, spear the top of each peanut butter ball with a toothpick and, holding the toothpick, dip each buckeye ball into the melted chocolate.
  • Return to cookie sheet and remove toothpick. Use the pads of your fingers to smooth over the toothpick mark.
  • Allow chocolate to harden before eating and enjoying.
  • Buckeye balls are best kept refrigerated.

BUCKEYES I



Buckeyes I image

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.

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

  • 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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup butter
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 slab paraffin wax
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • melt butter on low in a saucepan and then add powdered sugar. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add peanutbutter. Chill until firm, them roll into balls. I use a melon baller for perfectly sized balls. Chill again until firm. While peanutbutter is chilling, melt paraffin and chocolate chips in a double boiler. (I grate paraffin and it makes it melt much faster). When peanutbutter balls are firm again, dip into chocolate using toothpicks or uncooked spaghetti! Store in airtight container with layers seperated by wax or parchment paper.
