EASY BUCKEYE RECIPE (PEANUT BUTTER BALLS)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add peanut butter, butter and vanilla extract and mix everything until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar and protein powder gradually and continue mixing.
• Freeze this mixture for about 20 minutes so that it's easier to handle.
• Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
• Place them on a cookie tray, lined with wax paper and stick a toothpick in the center of each ball. You may need to chill the tray in the freezer for another 10 minutes if the balls have started to become too soft and the toothpick is not sticking securely.
• Dip each ball three quarters of the way into a bowl of melted chocolate and place them on a cookie tray, lined with wax paper.
• Optional: Dip the ball in chocolate first and then roll them around in a bowl of chopped nuts and then place them on wax paper.
• Remove the toothpicks gently and smooth out the hole with your fingers and enjoy!

BEST EVER BUCKEYES

Steps:

• Mix peanut butter, margarine or butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in bowl (It helps to soften the margarine).
• Shape into 1" balls.
• Refrigerate balls.
• Meanwhile, melt chocolate with a bit of crisco (so the chocolate will harden. Without crisco, chocolate will remain soft.) in double boiler.
• Insert toothpick into refrigerated balls and dip into chocolate, leaving small area resembling a buckeye.
• Cool on wax paper and store in refrigerator or freezer.

BUCKEYES I

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
• Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

BUCKEYES

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.

BUCKEYE CAKE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 - 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Afterward, grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease again.
• To prepare the cake batter, beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until combined.
• Mix flour, melted butter, cocoa, and vanilla extract until smooth. After that, pour the mixture into the greased pan.
• Then, place the 9-inch baking pan into the oven and bake it for twenty-five minutes. Next, try poking a wooden pick in the middle of the cake to check if the cake is done. And if you can see that it comes out clean, you can take it out of the oven.
• After taking it out, put the baking pan on a wire rack and let it rest for five minutes.
• Next, cut the cake in layers and let it cook for another ten minutes. Afterward, remove the parchment paper. After that, please remove it from the pan, then place it on a serving platter and let it cool completely.

• After that, add the semi-sweet chocolate and let it sit for five minutes.
