Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Method
 

  1. Mix peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and combined.
  2. Gradually mix in powdered sugar to form a thick dough firm enough to roll, using hands at end if needed.
  3. Roll into 1-inch balls on a parchment-lined sheet; insert toothpicks and freeze 30 minutes.
  4. Microwave chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  5. Hold balls by toothpicks and dip in chocolate, leaving a small peanut butter circle exposed for the buckeye look.
  6. Return to parchment; smooth toothpick holes with a finger. Refrigerate about 30 minutes until chocolate sets; store airtight in refrigerator.
