Yields 30 peanut butter balls. <\/p>
Ingredients<\/h3>- <\/span>
1 cup smooth peanut butter <\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened <\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 1\/2 cup confectionary sugar<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 tsp vanilla extract <\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 1\/2 cup dark chocolate <\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div>Directions<\/h3>- Cream peanut butter, vanilla extract and softened butter in a mixer.<\/li>
- Add confectionary sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape down the bowl if necessary. <\/li>
- Using a 2 tsp cookie scoop, scoop the peanut butter mixture and roll into balls. <\/li>
- Transfer peanut butter balls onto baking sheet and chill until firm or for at least 30 minutes.<\/li>
- If using a double boiler method, fill medium pot less than halfway with water and bring to a simmer. Then, place a heatproof bowl big enough to sit on top of the pot. Add the chocolate and butter (optional) to the bowl. Use low heat and keep stirring the chocolate until smooth.<\/li>
- Use a toothpick to dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. DO NOT dip the peanut butter balls entirely, leave a bit of peanut butter exposed for the signature buckeye nut look. <\/li>
- Chill to allow chocolate to firm up. Voila! It’s ready to be served and enjoy. <\/li><\/ul><\/div>
