Yummy classic peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. They look like a buckeye nut & make the perfect holiday treat for Thanksgiving or Christmas! Simple ingredients & easy to make!
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
8 TBSP salted butter, softened
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips
Toothpicks
Directions:
Beat together with mixer peanut butter, butter, vanilla and then slowly add powdered sugar
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper
Place a toothpick into the top of each ball (to serve as a holder for dipping later)
Chill in freezer for 30 minutes
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or smaller pot on top of larger pot simmering water, stirring continuously. You could also microwave it in 30 sec. increments, stirring in between. Double boiler is preferred.
Dip frozen peanut butter balls into melted chocolate 3/4 of the way, using the toothpick as a holder. Leave the top of the peanut butter ball showing (not covered in chocolate) to make it look like a buckeye nut. Use a knife to wipe away extra chocolate from the bottom.
Place back on cookie sheet. Remove toothpicks and smooth over the hole left by the toothpicks with a spatula. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Store in refrigerator.
