Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (not natural style)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar
three 4-ounce semi-sweet chocolate bars (339g), coarsely chopped*
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
optional: sprinkles

Steps:

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed in a large bowl until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract, salt, and confectioners' sugar and beat on low for 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture is supposed to be a little soft, yet very crumbly. (Don't worry, the warmth of your hands will bring it together.)
  • Roll peanut butter dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 scant Tablespoon of dough each) and place on the baking sheet. Keep working and rolling the dough in your hands until the peanut butter balls come together. You should have about 32-35 balls total.
  • Cover and chill the shaped peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate and oil together. You can melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. I recommend using a liquid measuring cup because its depth makes dipping really easy. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping.
  • Remove peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Working with 1 at a time, submerge into the chocolate, then carefully lift out using a fork or the spiral candy dipping tool. Tap the fork/tool gently on the side of the bowl/measuring cup to rid excess chocolate. If you used a fork, use a toothpick or a 2nd fork to help you slide the ball off of the fork and onto the baking sheet. If you used the dipping tool, just invert the ball onto the baking sheet. (See video tutorial above for how I do this.) If you have leftover chocolate, reheat it and drizzle on top of the truffles. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate peanut butter balls for 30 minutes or until chocolate has completely set before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS



Peanut Butter Balls image

Depending on where you live, these chocolate and peanut-butter confections are known as either peanut butter balls or buckeyes. In the Midwest, they are known as buckeyes because they look like the nut of a buckeye tree, thanks to an exposed circle of peanut butter that's left after they're dipped in chocolate. Be sure to start with a good-quality peanut butter, and don't skimp on the salt. Those small touches carry a lot of impact.

Time 25m

Yield About 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups/242 grams confectioners' sugar
1 cup/270 grams sweetened, smooth peanut butter
4 tablespoons/57 grams unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
5 ounces/142 grams semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth and uniform, about 1 minute.
  • Portion the mixture into 1 tablespoon balls. Roll the balls into neat circles between your palms. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • A few minutes before the balls are done chilling, prepare the chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring often. If chocolate becomes too thick during the dipping process, it can be liquified again in the microwave.
  • Use a toothpick to skewer one ball at a time, and dip it into the melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of the peanut butter mixture exposed at the top and allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Transfer buckeyes to the prepared baking sheet and remove the toothpick. Repeat with the remaining balls, returning them to the freezer for a few minutes if they become too soft to work with. Smooth over the holes left by the toothpick with a small offset spatula or your finger. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more melted butter or cream.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add more powdered sugar or peanut butter powder.
  • Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate, this will help them hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or coconut, to add extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these sweet and salty balls that are sure to be a hit.
