Peanut Butter Balls Ii Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Stir together powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter until well mixed.
• Shape peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet covered with waxed paper.
• Let balls stand for 20 minutes until dry.
• Melt the dipping chocolate or confectioners' coating.
• Drop balls one at a time in melted chocolate.
• Using a fork, remove from the chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
• Place back on the waxed paper.
• Let stand until dry.
• Store tightly covered in a cool dry place.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, mix together the peanut butter and butter until creamy. Slowly mix the powdered sugar into the peanut butter and continue to mix until well combined. It will appear super crumbly at first, keep mixing and it will all start to come together.
• Cover the peanut butter ball in a small bowl and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Once ready, scoop 1 inch sized balls, roll them to shape and place them on a cookie sheet. Place into the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
• Using the double broiler method, place a heat safe bowl on top of a saucepan filled with water. Turn the heat to boil and place the chocolate bark into the bowl. Stir the chocolate until completely melted.
• Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and begin dipping by sticking a toothpick into the ball, dip into the chocolate and tap your wrist a few times with your other hand and it will release some of the drippage.
• Drop the coated balls onto a sheet of wax paper and allow the chocolate to harden. Once hardened, place the balls into a container and store either on the counter or the refrigerator.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS III

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan, over low heat. In large bowl, mix crispy rice cereal and confectioners' sugar well. Pour melted peanut butter and butter over cereal and sugar and blend together thoroughly.
• Form into 1 inch or smaller balls, spread on cookie sheets, chill till firm in refrigerator (over night is okay).
• Melt chocolate in double boiler and keep melted while working with balls. A teaspoon is best to use in dipping the balls in chocolate. Dip good and place on cookie sheet. As you dip them place them back on cookie sheet and keep chilled till firm.

BUCKEYE BALLS II

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate.
• Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
• Remove balls from refrigerator. Insert a wooden toothpick into a ball, and dip into melted chocolate. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS II

Steps:

• Mix together peanut butter, butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Melt chocolate chips and shortening in top of double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate mixture and let dry on waxed paper. (Poke each ball with a toothpick for easier dipping.)

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
• Mix peanut butter, butter and vanilla together in a large bowl.
• Slowly add one cup of powdered sugar to the creamy mixture, mixing well each time. *Note -- I do not sift my powdered sugar! I just scoop out 1 cup full and dump it in my bowl.*
• By the time you get to the third cup of powdered sugar, the mixture will become very difficult to stir with a spoon. Take your rings off and start mixing with your hands.
• Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated into the peanut butter mixture, you can start making your balls. Simply pinch off a small amount and roll between your hands to form a small ball. Place the peanut butter balls on the prepared cookie sheet with waxed paper.
• Once you have made all of your balls, melt your chocolate. My favorite way to do this is in the double boiler, but if you don't have one, you can simply put a metal or glass bowl on top of a saucepan with about an inch of water in it. As the water in the saucepan begins to heat up, the steam will heat up your bowl and start melting your chocolate. Be sure to add the shortening to your chocolate - this will make covering your peanut butter balls with chocolate a lot easier.
• One at a time, drop your peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Lift the ball out of the chocolate with a fork and then transfer it to the waxed paper.
• Once all of your peanut butter balls are coated, put the cookie sheet in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. This will ensure the chocolate coating is completely hardened.

HOMEMADE BUCKEYES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixer or medium bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract together.
• Add the powdered sugar and mix until evenly combined. If using a mixer, make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
• Press together to form a dough and then divide the dough into 24 equally sized pieces.
• Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place it on a plate. Refrigerate the balls until firm, about an hour.
• After the peanut butter balls have chilled, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and gently heat on low until melted. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
• Using a skewer to hold a peanut butter ball, dip in the melted chocolate, leaving the top of the ball exposed.
• Place the dipped buckeye on a plate lined with a piece of parchment.
• Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and then refrigerate to firm up the chocolate.
• Once set, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
