How To Make buckeye balls

• 1

  Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until it forms a fairly stiff dough. The dough should be stiff enough to roll into soft balls but not so stiff that it looks dry. If necessary, add 1-2 more tablespoons of powdered sugar.
• 2

  Roll the dough into 1-inch balls using about 1 rounded tablespoon per ball. Place the balls onto a parchment paper or wax paper-covered baking sheet with a little bit of space between each ball.

  Chill in the freezer uncovered for about 20-30 minutes. Take the balls out of the freezer and reroll into super smooth balls placing them back on the parchment paper. Place a toothpick in the center of each ball and place them back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

  Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals stirring between each interval until the chocolate melts.

  Using the toothpick, dip the frozen peanut butter balls into the chocolate going about 2/3’s of the way up. Immediately dust with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or toasted coconut. Place on parchment paper to set. Remove the toothpick and use your finger to smooth over the toothpick hole.
