I have lived in Ohio my whole life and this is my first time ever making Buckeyes. Some people call them peanut butter calls. There are more names.
Buckeyes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
Directions:
- In a mixer, blend peanut butter, butter and vanilla.
- Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.
- Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls.
- Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt on 50% power in the microwave. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Using toothpick dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Leave a bit of the peanut butter exposed for that signature buckeye look.
- Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up.
- Serve
- Enjoy!!
Feel free to follow along.
I love peanut butter balls and never knew that's what a buckeye was! My cousins are from Ohio and they laughed because I told them I'd always thought a buckeye was an animal, like maybe a deer!
