Bulls Eye Peanut Butter Candy Recipes

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.

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.

BULL'S EYE PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter mixture together well.
• Form into small balls and put in refrigerator over night.
• When ready to dip, use a double boiler and melt the wax, chocolate bits, and the squares of chocolate together.
• Using a toothpick (I sometimes use a fork so I don't have to get rid of the toothpick hole), insert it into the middle of the ball and dip in the chocolate mixture about 7/8 of the way, leaving a small eye at the top.
• Put on wax paper to cool.

PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients (except chocolate) in a bowl (with hands like meat loaf).
• Note: The more you mix it with your hands,the less messy it gets & comes off your hands easier.
• Dump it in a 13x9-inch pan.
• Pound it, pat it (spank) firmly in pan.
• Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
• Pour melted chocolate over mixture in 13x9-inch pan.
• Bang pan flat on counter (it'll smooth out the chocolate).
• Refrigerate approximately 40 minutes or until it starts to harden.
• Then cut into approximately 8 rows & then across.
• I cut this into bite size pieces.
• (I use a pizza cutter. It really works well).
• Put back in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
• Best if kept refrigerated.
