buckeye recipe

You&#x27;ll love these easy to make and DELICIOUS buckeyes, creamy, perfectly sweet peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate.

Buckeyes

peanut butter (smooth, 240 grams)

tbsp unsalted butter (70 grams)

sugar (240 grams)

tsp vanilla extract (5 milliliters)

semisweet chocolate (340 grams)

tbsp coconut oil (30 milliliters, optional)

Cream the peanut butter and butter together with the vanilla extract.

Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.

Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls. About 20g if you&#x27;re weighing.

Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill until firm. At least 20 minutes.

Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt on 50% power in the microwave. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Use a skewer or toothpick to dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Leave a bit of the peanut butter exposed for that signature buckeye pea look.

Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up and enjoy. If you want to remove the holes left from the skewers, run a small knife or spatula over the tops.

Buckeyes are like peanut butter balls that didn’t get all the way dipped in chocolate. They’re no bake, SUPER-EASY to make and ultra snackable. As an added bonus you can make them in advance and pull them out of the fridge at a moment’s notice.

Easy Buckeyes Recipe

A simple Buckeye recipe for deliciously decadent peanut butter chocolate candies.

Easy Buckeye Recipe

peanut butter (not "natural" peanut butter) ((475 grams))

salted butter (softened (113 grams))

Tablespoons brown sugar* (packed)

vanilla extract

sugar

oz dark chocolate melting wafers ((340 grams))

Combine peanut butter and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well-combined. &nbsp;

Add brown sugar and vanilla extract. &nbsp;Stir well.

Gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;

While peanut butter balls are chilling, prepare your chocolate according to package instructions. &nbsp;Pour into a deep dish (I use a wide cup). &nbsp;

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. &nbsp;Use the pads of your fingers to smooth over the toothpick mark. &nbsp;

Allow chocolate to harden before eating and enjoying.&nbsp;

Buckeye balls are best kept refrigerated.

Buckeyes are the perfect no bake candy to make for the holidays! With a creamy peanut butter center and a sweet chocolate exterior, this easy buckeye recipe is a crowd favorite! Bonus - only a handful of ingredients are needed!

unsalted butter (room temperature)

½ cups creamy peanut butter peanut

salt

milk chocolate melting wafers (I used Ghirardelli)

chocolate chips

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Cream butter and peanut butter together until smooth and completely combined, about 2 minutes.

Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.

Add 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar and mix on low speed until mostly combined and then increase the speed to high for one minute. Repeat twice more with 1 cup of powdered sugar each time. The mixture should be smooth, a little bit crumbly and should not stick to your fingers when you pick it up.

Scoop mixture, roll into 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.

Freeze balls for 30 minutes or until very firm. You can also refrigerate for 2 hours if freezer space is unavailable.

When peanut butter balls are just about ready, prepare the chocolate coating.

Combine chocolate melting wafers and chocolate chips in a shallow, microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments, at 50% power, stirring in between, until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate mixture.

Using toothpicks or wooden skewers, carefully dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate leaving the top of the ball free of chocolate.

Wipe off excess chocolate on the side of the bowl and return the peanut butter balls to the parchment lined baking sheet.

Carefully twist the toothpick or skewer to remove. Smooth over the hole with additional peanut butter mixture or a slightly wet finger, or leave as is.

Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls until all balls have been dipped.

Let buckeyes sit until the chocolate has set up. Refrigerate buckeyes until ready to enjoy.

Buckeyes have a creamy peanut butter center and a sweet chocolate exterior. This buckeye recipe is the perfect easy candy for the holidays!

Buckeyes (Buckeye Recipe)

These buckeyes have the perfect balance of salty and sweet! They&#x27;re made with soft peanut butter centers that are dipped in chocolate.

peanut butter (250 grams)

Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (85 grams)

tsp fine salt (3 grams)

sugar (280 grams)

milk chocolate chips (175 grams)

Tbsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil (12 grams)

dark chocolate chips (85 grams)

Sprinkles

Electric Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer

Tray

Parchment Paper

Toothpick Scribe

Piping Bag

Cream together 1 cup of peanut butter, 6 Tbsp of butter, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 tsp fine salt in a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until smooth and combined.

Add in 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. The dough should be thick. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.

Scoop out 1 Tbsp-sized pieces and roll them into balls. If you want to be super precise, each ball should weigh about 24g on a scale.

Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until they&#x27;re firm to the touch.

Once the peanut butter balls are firm to the touch, make the chocolate coating. Add 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp shortening or coconut oil to a small bowl and melt in 20-second intervals in the microwave. Stir between intervals until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and combined.

Remove the peanut butter balls from the fridge and use a scribe or toothpick to dip each peanut butter ball in the chocolate mixture. I like to gently swirl the peanut butter balls around in the mixture to cover them about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate. Gently scrape the bottom of the balls on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet. If you notice the peanut butter balls begin to soften as you&#x27;re trying to dip them, pop them back in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes to let them firm up again. This will make them a lot easier to dip!

Gently press a butter knife or offset spatula over the top of the balls to cover up the holes on top, then place them back in the fridge to chill and let the chocolate firm up.

If you want to add a little extra pizzaz, I love to place 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips in a small piping bag, melt the chocolate in the microwave, snip a small hole in the bottom of the bag, and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the buckeyes. Then I add a garnish of some colorful sprinkles over the dark chocolate (in this case I used Christmas sprinkles because these were for a holiday party, but rainbow nonpareils would be so cute too!).

How to make dreamy 4 ingredient buckeyes, peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. Easy small batch buckeye recipe perfect for the holidays!

Easy 4-Ingredient Buckeyes Recipe

butter

peanut butter*

dark chocolate melting wafers ((or milk chocolate))

In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.

Take about a tablespoonful or small cookie scoop full of the peanut butter mixture and begin to roll it between your hands. Shape it into as round of a ball as you can, and place it in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet lined with wax paper. Continue rolling the rest of the dough into balls. (If the mixture is too gooey, try chilling it in the fridge or freezer for 20-30 minutes before rolling into balls.)

Add toothpicks, for dipping, to each ball.

Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes.

Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl; and melt, starting at 30 seconds, then stirring every 15-20 seconds, &#39;til melted and smooth.

Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and using the inserted toothpicks, dip every single peanut butter ball, partially immersing each one into the melted chocolate. Place each dipped buckeye back on the wax paper lined cookie sheet.

Chill the chocolate covered peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer ’til set, probably about 15-20 minutes.

Then remove all the toothpicks and cover up each toothpick hole with your finger (optional step).

Store the buckeyes in a wax paper lined airtight container or festive Christmas tin in the fridge.

First time making Buckeyes and we loved them. Now I have to make some for my son. This recipe only makes 18 of them. Thanks for sharing

I made these for Christmas presents a few years back and everyone loved them. Even easier than I expected. I’ll make these again and again!!

Very easy to make and turned out perfectly. I took them to an Ohio State football party and everyone loved them.

Too gooey, couldn't form into balls, had to add more powdered sugar

Being from Indiana, the original “Buckeyes” have rice crispies in them. Really brings them up a notch!

Idk how you formed balls with a 1:2 ratio of peanut butter to powdered sugar. Recipe isn’t right . with this ratio I had gooey balls that wouldn’t hold shape or stick together . I had I add an extra 1/2 cup of powered sugar.
