Description
Indulgent No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeyes that combine creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 cups creamy peanut butter
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 3.25 cups powdered sugar (sift if lumpy)
- 11 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped bar chocolate)
- 2 tsp coconut oil (or vegetable shortening, to thin chocolate)
Instructions
- Prep the Workspace: Clear a space on your kitchen counter and lay down parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and fine salt. Blend until smooth.
- Incorporate the Sugar: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until integrated. Knead gently to form a moldable dough.
- Shape the Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the Buckeyes: Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth.
- Dip the Buckeyes: Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on parchment paper.
- Let Them Set: Allow chocolate to harden, about 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator to expedite.
- Enjoy Your Creation: Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
