BUCKEYES I



Buckeyes I image

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.

BUCKEYES (CRISPY PEANUT BUTTER BONBONS)



Buckeyes (Crispy Peanut Butter Bonbons) image

I was unaware these were called 'buckeyes' until some midwestern friends informed me of their correct name. They were sort of an ad-lib dessert for a vegan/gluten-free catering job. I kept the recipe when I saw how fast they disappeared.

Categories     Candy

Time 40m

Yield 48 buckeyes, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups puffed rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Cream peanut butter and powdered sugar in bowl of an electric mixer. Add rice cereal and mix until incorporated. (I find that using a whisk attachment, as opposed to the paddle attachment, crushes up the cereal a bit more effectively and results in a better texture.).
  • Using a meatballer or a spoon, scoop out bits of the mixture and roll into 3/4" balls. Cover either two dinner plates or a cookie sheet in parchment and space the balls about 1" apart. Place in freezer for 15 minute to harden.
  • Melt chocolate in a double-boiler over the stove or on 50% power in your microwave for about 2 minutes, stopping to stir once. Remove peanut butter balls from freezer. Poke one with a toothpick and swirl about 3/4 of the way up the sides in the chocolate mixture. Return it to the parchment and repeat the process for the remaining candies.
  • Return tray of completed buckeyes to the freezer for 20 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened. Keep in freezer or refrigerator until serving. If frozen, allow to thaw 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

- For crispy rice cereal, use a brand that is not too sweet, and avoid using flavored varieties. - To prevent the buckeyes from becoming too sticky, make sure to use cold butter and cream cheese. - If the mixture is too sticky to roll, chill it for 30 minutes before attempting to roll the buckeyes. - For a neater appearance, use a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture before rolling it into balls. - To make the buckeyes extra special, try adding a chopped nut or dried fruit to the center of each ball before dipping it in chocolate. - If you don't have time to make the buckeyes ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to two months. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them at room temperature for 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate.

Conclusion

Crispy rice buckeyes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy rice cereal center and a creamy peanut butter filling, these buckeyes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
