Print Recipe

Make these classic no-bake Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls for a delicious holiday treat. They’re a perfect combination of creamy peanut butter filling dipped in rich chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and a dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
  6. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  7. Place the chocolate-dipped balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a smoother coating, you can add a little more shortening to the chocolate.
  • Store the Buckeye Balls in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • These are a wonderful make-ahead treat for parties and holidays.
