A classic no-bake treat featuring a creamy peanut butter center dipped in smooth chocolate, these buckeyes are a delightful combination of sweet and salty.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers or Biscoff cookies (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and creamy peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar (and crushed cookies, if using) until a thick dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  5. Melt the chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in espresso powder if using.
  6. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a toothpick, leaving a small circle of peanut butter exposed at the top to create the classic buckeye shape.
  7. Place the dipped buckeyes back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Chill the buckeyes for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.

Notes

  • Use standard, no-stir peanut butter for the best consistency.
  • Chilling the peanut butter balls before dipping is crucial for preventing them from falling apart.
  • If using chocolate chips instead of almond bark, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help thin them for dipping.
  • You can freeze the finished buckeyes for up to 3 months.
