HOW DO YOU MAKE BUCKEYE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS?
- Start by adding peanut butter, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar to a large bowl and mix until dough forms. Roll into 1 inch balls and put onto a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze until firm 20-30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and dip into the chocolate. Drizzle the tops with melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
- Place them back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until set.
DO BUCKEYES NEED TO BE REFRIGERATED?
I like to store mine in the refrigerator. But if you use shelf-stable peanut butter, they may not need to be refrigerated.
HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP BUCKEYE BALLS IN THE REFRIGERATOR?
Store them in an airtight container up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
CAN YOU FREEZE BUCKEYE BALLS?
Yes. They can be frozen for up to three months.
