- Chill the peanut butter mixture before rolling it into balls. This will help them hold their shape better.
- Use a fork to dip the buckeye balls in the chocolate. This will help you get a smooth, even coating.
- Refrigerate the buckeye balls before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Buckeye balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious buckeye balls at home.
