This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

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.

AUNT MARILYNN'S BUCKEYES

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
1 bag powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
Candy-making chocolate (or 12 oz chocolate chips & 1/2 block shaved wax)

Steps:

Mix above together and make into balls. Put toothpicks in them and refrigerate. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate, place on wax paper, and cool.

Tips:

- Use room-temperature ingredients for best results. This will help the peanut butter and butter cream together smoothly. - If the peanut butter mixture is too thick, add a little more milk or cream until it reaches a spreadable consistency. - If the peanut butter mixture is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar until it reaches a spreadable consistency. - Be careful not to overmix the peanut butter mixture, as this can make it tough. - Chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate. This will help them hold their shape. - Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning. - Use a toothpick or a fork to dip the peanut butter balls in chocolate. This will help you get a thin, even coating of chocolate. - Place the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely. - Store the buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
