My Grandma W used to make Buckeyes with rice krispies since I never liked chunky peanut butter. Until I moved to Ohio, it was the only way I knew to make them. Then I had a customer give me this wonderful recipe, and every since (sorry Grandma) I use this recipe instead! Easy, wonderfully delicious, I can't make a single recipe. I typically make 4 batches at a time, then put into a plastic container with waxed paper to separate the layers and stick in the fridge. I even made them for a bus trip I planned, and the passengers were pleasantly surprised!

How To Make buckeyes (5 star)

  • Step 1
    Mix butter, peanut butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. Dough will look dry. Roll into 1" balls and put on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Chill in freezer 30 min.
  • Step 2
    Melt semisweet chips, stirring, until smooth. Dip balls into chocolate, leaving a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to look like buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
