Ingredients
2 cups creamy peanut butter (not "natural" peanut butter) (475g)
1/2 cup salted butter softened (113g)
2 Tablespoons brown sugar* packed
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar (405g)
12 oz dark chocolate melting wafers (340g)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction

00:15 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.

02:02 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.

02:32 While peanut butter balls are chilling, prepare your chocolate according to package instructions. Pour into a deep dish (I use a wide cup).

02:52 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.

This is the recipe that got me accolades at a wedding and several parties. I find that the ideal weight for each ball of peanut butter mixture is 30 grams, so if you have a kitchen scale, it makes it super easy!

I will use your recipe. I just moved to Ohio, and the buckeye candies are expensive, so I am making my own. This recipe looks good. Thanks!

I actually like the peanut butter just a little gritty. It adds a nice texture to each bite.

Adding rice crispies to the peanut butter mixture gives some crunch if you like that…

Almond bark chocolate and white for coating. That’s what I use. It’s all great though.

Can you add Nutella to the chocolate dipping mixture? I can’t seem to find a Nutella buckeye recipe. Thanks for the video! Love it! ❤️

So it's basically peanut butter frosting, rolled into balls and dipped in chocolate?
