These are like little peanut butter and chocolate balls. You basically mix it all up together. It is a perfect recipe to do at a sleepover or for parties. It is pretty simple and it really doesn't take too long. It takes about as long as chocolate chip cookies do, maybe a little longer, but if you love chocolate and peanut butter, you'll love this.

BUCKEYES I

This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.

BUCKEYES



Buckeyes image

Who doesn't love a confection inspired by nature? In this case, it's a peanut butter truffle dipped in chocolate, which resembles the nut from Ohio's state tree, the buckeye.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Microwave the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe medium bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
  • Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick with an offset spatula. Serve at room temperature or well chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

BEST BUCKEYES (PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE CANDIES)



Best Buckeyes (Peanut Butter and Chocolate Candies) image

I make about 30 varieties of cookies and candies during the holidays and these are the most requested. They are fairly easy and delicious. I serve them on a tray in miniature muffin liners. I have tried many different buckeye recipes, but this one, given to me years ago, is the best one I have used. ADDED 12/17/06: Instead of chips and paraffin wax, this year I used chocolate bark coating and it worked really well. You will need about Five - 2 oz. blocks of bark.

Tips:

  • Chill the cookie dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Do not overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • Use a toothpick to create a small hole in the center of each cookie. This will help the chocolate fill the center of the cookie.
  • Refrigerate the cookies after dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate harden and set.

Conclusion:

Buckeye cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your buckeye cookies turn out perfectly every time. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these buckeye cookies a try!
