Ohio Buckeye Peanut Butter & Chocolate Candy image

I simply cannot get enough of chocolate and peanut butter.. If the only foods left on earth were chocolate & peanut butter, I could survive! These little balls of bliss may be somewhat labor intensive, but us Ohioans go gaga over these. Time includes prep and refrigeration time.

Time 5h

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (I always use Jiff)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (use only pure, not imitation)
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup vegetable shortening (or 1 butter flavored shortening stick)
toothpick
wax paper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Shape mixture into 1 inch balls, inserting 1 toothpick in top center.
  • Refrigerate balls for at least 2 hours.
  • Over low heat, melt shortening with chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Dip each peanut butter ball into chocolate leaving small uncoated top area (resembling a buckeye).
  • Cool on wax paper and refrigerate (or freeze) for additional 2 hours before serving.
