Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Microwave the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe medium bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
  • Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick with an offset spatula. Serve at room temperature or well chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before forming the balls: This will help the balls hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to form the balls: This will help ensure that they are all uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the balls until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are firm to the touch.
  • Let the balls cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • Use a good quality chocolate for dipping: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the buckeye balls.
  • Decorate the balls as desired: You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter to decorate the buckeye balls.
