Delicious Buckeyes Recipe: Sweet Chocolate and Peanut Butter Treats

Print Recipe

Buckeyes are delightful no-bake treats that perfectly combine creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate. These sweet confections are a nostalgic favorite, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup softened unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix until everything is well blended and smooth.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  3. After chilling, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. If you want to make dipping easier, insert a toothpick into the center of each ball.
  5. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to firm up the balls.
  6. While the balls are chilling, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  7. Once the chocolate is melted and the peanut butter balls are firm, remove them from the fridge. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, covering about 2/3 of the ball, then place them back on the parchment paper.
  8. If you used toothpicks, carefully remove them now. You can smooth over the holes with a bit of melted chocolate.
  9. Place the dipped Buckeyes back in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition

Keywords: If your peanut butter mixture is too soft, add a little more powdered sugar until you reach a manageable consistency. Make sure your chocolate is not too hot when dipping, as it can melt the peanut butter balls.
