how do you make buckeyes?

Answer 1

* 1 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

PREPARATION:
With a hand-held electric mixer, beat peanut butter, butter and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar and flour until well blended. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place on wax paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate one hour or until firm.

Melt chocolate chips; one at a time, spear balls with toothpick and dip ball into the chocolate to cover most of it. Place chocolate side down on cookie sheet, smoothing over or filling in toothpick gaps with more chocolate, if necessary. Refrigerate buckeyes for about 15 minutes longer, or until the chocolate is set. Store buckeyes tightly covered in refrigerator.

Makes about 5 dozen buckeyes candies.

Answer 3

I like a crunchier buckeye so I use 1 cup peanut butter, 1 stick butter/margarine, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 cups rice krispies and powdered sugar. melt the butter and peanut butter together in the microwave, stir in the vanilla. Then add the rice krispies and some powdered sugar. Add it slowly and stir in between additions until it's a good consistency- I never measure it. Shape into balls and set aside. Melt a cup of semisweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of heavy cream and dip each ball into the chocolate. allow to firm up in the fridge and enjoy!
