Description

Ingredients

• 18 ounces creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cups confectioner’s sugar (about 1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 12 ounces chocolate chips
• 2 ounces paraffin wax

Directions

• In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add confectioners sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until almost combined after each addition, until all sugar is incorporated.
• Roll peanut butter mixture into bite sized balls (about a tablespoon). Place peanut butter balls onto a baking sheet lined with Sil-Pat, waxed paper, or parchment paper. Chill peanut butter balls for at least 1 hour.
• In a double boiler set up, melt together chocolate chips and wax in a bowl. Once melted, stir together thoroughly to combine.
• Insert a toothpick into the center of one peanut butter ball. Use the toothpick to dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Be sure to leave a circle of peanut butter showing at the top of the candy {this is what makes it look like a Buckeye}. Dip the ball once more, leaving peanut butter showing and then place back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls.
• Refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until ready to serve, to finish setting the chocolate.
