Steps:
- Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.
- Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
- Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.
- Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. For the next step, the best way that I've found to make a smooth filling is to use your hands to mix everything together.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls and line the baking sheet with rows of the balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls for easier dipping.
- 3. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough for dipping. I melted 6 blocks of chocolate almond bark at a time, stirring at 45 second intervals until smooth.
- 4. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy.
- 5. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Swirl the chocolate on the top of each candy for a pretty design. Refrigerate until the chocolate had completely dried. Store the candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE COATED PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (NO BAKE)
These are so easy to make and require no baking, you can make these up to 5 days in advance and refrigerate in an airtight container. Plan ahead the balls have to be chilled overnight before coating in chocolate. Just a warning, these are VERY addicting LOL! You should get between 45-50 small balls, depending on the size you make them, so yield is only estimated.

Tips:
- For a smoother peanut butter filling, use a food processor to blend the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until creamy.
- If the peanut butter mixture is too soft, add more powdered sugar until it reaches a consistency that can be easily rolled into balls.
- To make the chocolate coating easier to work with, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can also melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
- To save time, you can use store-bought peanut butter cups instead of making your own filling.
- For a fun twist, try dipping the peanut butter balls in white chocolate or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- To make the peanut butter balls even more festive, decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips before the chocolate coating hardens.
