Super Easy Buckeyes Recipes

EASY BUCKEYE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine peanut butter and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well-combined.
• Add brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir well.
• Gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined. Scoop into Tablespoon-sized balls and roll with the palms of your hand until smooth and round.**
• Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
• While peanut butter balls are chilling, prepare your chocolate according to package instructions. Pour into a deep dish (I use a wide cup).
• Remove peanut butter balls from freezer, spear the top of each peanut butter ball with a toothpick and, holding the toothpick, dip each buckeye ball into the melted chocolate.
• Return to cookie sheet and remove toothpick. Use the pads of your fingers to smooth over the toothpick mark.
• Allow chocolate to harden before eating and enjoying.
• Buckeye balls are best kept refrigerated.

HEALTHY BUCKEYE BALLS

Steps:

• In medium bowl combine peanut butter with maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in Super Fine Almond Flour and salt, combining until dough forms (use hands at end as needed). You should have a soft cookie dough-like texture.
• Using small cookie scoop (about 1 heaping tablespoon), scoop dough onto parchment lined baking sheet. Roll dough ball until smooth and place back on the baking sheet. Place in freezer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, roll again getting the balls really smooth, then place back in fridge while you melt chocolate.
• Meanwhile, melt chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth and fully melted. If you want a smoother chocolate, add coconut oil. Transfer chocolate to a heat proof small deep bowl (if possible - this will allow you to get a good dip in without messing with the dough ball too much).
• Using a toothpick, dip peanut butter balls into melted chocolate and set back onto parchment paper baking sheet. Option to gently smooth over toothpick hole if you'd like.
• Place cookie sheet in fridge until chocolate has fully set, about 15 minutes or so.
• Buckeyes can be stored at room temperature or in fridge, in airtight container.

BUCKEYE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, mix together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar.
• Take about a tablespoonful of the peanut butter mixture and begin to roll it between your hands. Shape it into as round of a ball as you can, and place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Continue rolling the rest of the dough into balls.
• Add toothpicks, for dipping, to each ball.
• Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes.
• Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl; and melt, starting at 30 seconds, then stirring every 15-20 seconds, 'til melted and smooth.
• Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and using the inserted toothpicks, dip every single peanut butter ball, partially immersing each one into the melted chocolate.
• Chill the chocolate covered peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer 'til set, probably about 15-20 minutes.
• Then remove all the toothpicks and cover up the holes with your finger (optional step).
• Store the buckeyes in a wax paper lined airtight container or festive Christmas tin in the fridge.

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.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (BUCKEYES) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.
• Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
• Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.
• Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
• Enjoy!

SUPER EASY BUCKEYES

Steps:

• melt butter on low in a saucepan and then add powdered sugar. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl and add peanutbutter. Chill until firm, them roll into balls. I use a melon baller for perfectly sized balls. Chill again until firm. While peanutbutter is chilling, melt paraffin and chocolate chips in a double boiler. (I grate paraffin and it makes it melt much faster). When peanutbutter balls are firm again, dip into chocolate using toothpicks or uncooked spaghetti! Store in airtight container with layers seperated by wax or parchment paper.
