Does anyone have a recipe for buckeye cookies?

Question

I used to have a great recipe that was easy and delicious but I can't find it.

Answer 1

I searched it in allrecipes... there are two recipes for it in the link provided below!

one of them is easy.....

INGREDIENTS
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups peanut butter
2 pounds confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
Mix together margarine, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and graham cracker crumbs by hand. Form into 2 inch balls and place on wax paper.
Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler. Put a toothpick in the peanut butter balls and dip in chocolate until 3/4 covered. Place on waxed paper to cool.

This is the second recipe....
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
4 cups confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS
You'll need wax paper, a double boiler, a cookie pan, and a medium bowl. In the medium size bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar (mixture will be stiff).
Shape into balls and place on a pan covered with wax paper. Place into the refrigerator.
In double boiler, melt chocolate and shortening. Pour into bowl and dip balls with chocolate. Refrigerate for thirty minutes until chocolate is firm.



Hope they're easy enough ;-)

Answer 2

The recipe I have is easier than all the previous listed. I just made my third batch of the season tonight. My son helps me.
1 1/2 cups of peanut butter creamy
6 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks of BUTTER softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 bags of choc chips melted in a double boiler (I use a pyrex bowl over a small pan of water on low heat)(don't let get grainy)

mix the first four ingredients well. It will look coarse. Roll into one inch balls. freeze on a cookie sheet until firm. Melt your chocolate. Dip balls about 2/3 in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet. Use foil or wax paper or parchment for lining.

I think these are easiest with the least but best ingredients. This is a good Buckeye recipe.
