Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth, 240g)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter (70g)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (240g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5mL)
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate (340g)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (30mL, optional)
Instructions
- 1Cream the peanut butter and butter together with the vanilla extract.
- 2Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.
- 3Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls. About 20g if you're weighing.
- 4Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill until firm. At least 20 minutes.
- 5Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt on 50% power in the microwave. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- 6Use a skewer or toothpick to dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Leave a bit of the peanut butter exposed for that signature buckeye pea look.
- 7Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up and enjoy. If you want to remove the holes left from the skewers, run a small knife or spatula over the tops.
