Buckeye candy recipe. Do you like your peanut butter balls fully covered or just part way?
Buckeye balls are always fun to make. My kids always had a hard time not eating the mixture before they are shaped into balls and coated in chocolate. The dough is just sooo good.
Alteration:
Try adding a 1/4 cup cocoa to the mixture for some chocolate buckeye candies.
You can also sprinkle some icing sugar on the balls when the coating is still soft for some decoration.
You will need a large mixing bowl, a 2 cup measuring cup, a tsp spoon, a slotted spoon or fork, a double boiler or a medium bowl and sauce pan, wax paper, cookie sheets, and an air tight container.
Place the wax paper on the cookie sheet and set aside
Make sure you have everything before you begin.
Dough:
Chocolate Dip:
Store in an air tight container in the fridge so the chocolate doesn't get soft. You can also freeze them for a couple months, just take them out the day before you want them and let them defrost in the fridge.
