NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (BUCKEYES) RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (BUCKEYES RECIPE)

Steps:

• Make the filling: Stir the peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl until it forms a thick dough. Finish by stirring in the Rice Krispies.
• Roll into balls: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out some peanut butter mixture and use your hands to roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate: Add the chocolate, coconut oil, and instant coffee to a bowl and place it over a saucepan with boiling water (double boiler). Stir until the chocolate melts and the coffee dissolves.
• Dip the balls in chocolate: Dip each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a toothpick. Either fully coat them or leave the top plain for "Buckeyes". Let the excess chocolate drip off and place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt then leave them in the fridge to firm up. Serve and enjoy! Makes approximately 18 balls. For step by step photos, FAQ, Tips and suggestions see above post.
