Buckeyes (aka- Peanut Butter Balls)
December 6, 2016
Ingredients
- 2 cups (516g) smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup (114g) butter, softened
- 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
- 1 10-12 ounce bag semi sweeet chocolate chips(semi-sweet or darker hold up more firmly)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add butter and peanut butter. Beat until creamy making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl if necessary.
- Add powdered sugar in increments and combine until consistency can be rolled and isn’t sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll into balls.
- Put in freezer for 20-30 minutes. (You can freeze the balls at this point if you’re doing these ahead so all you have to do is dip on the day you need them.)
- Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and add coconut oil if you’re using it.
- Add to a shallow bowl for dipping. Using a toothpick in the top of the dough ball, dip the ball and leave the top exposed with peanut butter.
- Place on cookie sheet and repeat. Frozen cookie sheet will allow chocolate to set quicker.
- Refrigerate in covered container until ready to serve. Can be served room temp as well.
