Buckeyes image

Popular in the Midwest -- especially Ohio, the Buckeye State -- this peanut butter cup-like treat is made to resemble (and named after!) the nut of the buckeye tree.

Time 3h50m

Yield Makes about 50 balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Sift sugar into a large bowl; set aside. Combine butter, cream, peanut butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until butter and peanut butter are just melted. Pour over sugar in bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish and smooth surface. Place parchment or plastic wrap directly on surface of mixture and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  • Roll scant tablespoons of peanut-butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring until smooth; remove from heat. Working with 1 ball at a time, insert a toothpick into the center of the ball and dip into the chocolate 3/4 of the way up the ball, letting excess chocolate drip off. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Gently press holes left by the toothpick to smooth. Buckeyes can be made 1 week ahead and stored in a single layer, covered, in refrigerator.

These buckeyes were delicious, but they were a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I'll only make them for special occasions.

The recipe was a bit confusing and the buckeyes didn't turn out as expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These buckeyes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've made buckeyes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The buckeyes were so smooth and creamy, and the chocolate coating was perfect.

These buckeyes were absolutely delicious! The peanut butter filling was smooth and creamy, and the chocolate coating was rich and decadent. I will definitely be making these again.
