How To Make Easy Buckeyes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Peanut Butter Filling:
    • In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture becomes thick and dough-like.
  2. Shape Buckeyes:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Insert Toothpicks:
    • Insert a toothpick into the top of each peanut butter ball. This will serve as a handle for dipping.
  4. Chill:
    • Place the peanut butter balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Coating:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips (and paraffin wax, if using) until smooth. Stir well.
  6. Dip Buckeyes:
    • Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Holding onto the toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, leaving the top exposed to resemble a buckeye nut.
  7. Set and Remove Toothpick:
    • Place the dipped Buckeyes back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set partially before gently removing the toothpick.
  8. Finish Dipping:
    • Once the chocolate coating is fully set, you can use a spoon to drizzle more chocolate over the exposed peanut butter, creating a decorative pattern.
  9. Chill Again:
    • Place the Buckeyes in the refrigerator to fully set the chocolate.
  10. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the chocolate is firm, your Buckeyes are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in the refrigerator.

These easy Buckeyes are a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, perfect for any occasion or as a sweet treat. Enjoy!
