Buckeyes Chocolate And Peanut Butter Balls Recipes

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (BUCKEYES) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.
• Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
• Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.
• Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
• Enjoy!

PEANUT BUTTER BUCKEYES

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.

BUCKEYES I

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 BALLS II

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate.
• Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
• Remove balls from refrigerator. Insert a wooden toothpick into a ball, and dip into melted chocolate. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (BUCKEYES RECIPE)

Steps:

• Make the filling: Stir the peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl until it forms a thick dough. Finish by stirring in the Rice Krispies.
• Roll into balls: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out some peanut butter mixture and use your hands to roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate: Add the chocolate, coconut oil, and instant coffee to a bowl and place it over a saucepan with boiling water (double boiler). Stir until the chocolate melts and the coffee dissolves.
• Dip the balls in chocolate: Dip each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a toothpick. Either fully coat them or leave the top plain for "Buckeyes". Let the excess chocolate drip off and place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt then leave them in the fridge to firm up. Serve and enjoy! Makes approximately 18 balls. For step by step photos, FAQ, Tips and suggestions see above post.
