Some call buckeyes a cookie, some call them a candy, but everyone calls them delicious. These easy chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls are even no-bake!
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
•
1 cup butter, softened
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
•
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
•
toothpicks
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Beat peanut butter, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
3
Beat in 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar until dough is stiff, firm, and dry with no lumps; adding more sifted sugar as needed.
4
Roll dough into about sixty 1-inch balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheets. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
5
Place chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
6
Hold the toothpicks and dip frozen peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top.
7
Return to the cookie sheet, remove and discard the toothpicks, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
