Buckeyes - Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Home > Fun Desserts > Buckeyes - Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls


These are commonly called 'Buckeye's, but my kids call them delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 1 stick softened butter
  • Approx. 1 lb. confectioners' sugar
  • 1 3/4 c. JIF peanut butter (1 18 oz. jar works!)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
  • 1 (12 oz. package) semi-sweet chocolate chips

    • Mix peanut butter, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl - adding confectioners' sugar until proper consistency is reached.

    Roll candy into 1-inch balls and place on wax paper-lined cookie sheet.

    Melt chips and shortening together in top of double boiler.

    Keep chocolate mixture in double boiler over low heat while you dip each candy.

    Using a toothpick, dip each ball, covering about 3/4 of candy. Place candy on sheet to cool.

    Thanks to Joanne M. from Texas for this great recipe!
