Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 32 buckeyes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup chopped toffee candy bars, such as Heath (3 bars)
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, adding about 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar at a time, until all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is stiff and dry to the touch. Mix the toffee by hand.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 32) and place on plates. Insert a toothpick into the center of each ball and freeze until firm, 1 hour.
  • Once the balls are frozen, put the chopped chocolate in a small, heat-safe bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with 1/2 inch of barely simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and heat, stirring, until melted. Remove the balls from the freezer and, one at a time, dip them in the chocolate, leaving a small round of peanut butter still visible. Let the excess chocolate drip off before returning the balls to the plate. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove the toothpick before serving.

BUCKEYES



Buckeyes image

Who doesn't love a confection inspired by nature? In this case, it's a peanut butter truffle dipped in chocolate, which resembles the nut from Ohio's state tree, the buckeye.

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:

  • For a smoother ganache, use a food processor or blender to combine the chocolate and peanut butter until completely smooth.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the ganache by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the ganache forms a firm ball, it is ready.
  • If the ganache is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream and stir until smooth.
  • If the ganache is too thin, add a little bit of melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • To make the buckeyes easier to roll, chill the ganache for at least 30 minutes before shaping.
  • If the buckeyes are too sticky to roll, wet your hands with water or oil.
  • For a fun twist, you can add a chopped peanut or toffee bit to the center of each buckeye before rolling it in chocolate.

Conclusion:

Butterfinger buckeyes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover Butterfinger candy bars.
