Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter - creamy
  • 5 tbsp butter - unsalted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 7 ounces chocolate chips - semi-sweet or milk
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Place a piece of parchment on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Combine the peanut butter,butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
  • Beat on med-high until creamy and well blended.
  • Lower the speed and slowly mix in the confectioner's sugar until completely combined. The dough should start to pull itself away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Use a small cookie scoop and portion out rounds of the dough. Roll it between your hands to smooth it out and then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Once all of the dough has been rolled, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes or until the dough is firm.
  • Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl or wide-mouth glass.
  • Heat the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring in-between each round. Take care to not overcook and size the chocolate.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the fridge.
  • Place a toothpick in the center of each of the peanut butter balls.
  • Gently dip each into the melted chocolate, taking care to only coat them 3/4 of the way up to leave the classic Buckeye look.
  • Place the dipped Buckeyes back on the tray.
  • Once complete, chill them again until the chocolate has set.
  • Remove the toothpicks prior to serving.
