Buckeye Recipe

In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter on medium speed until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Beat on low speed until sugar is moistened then beat on medium speed until combined. The dough will look thick like cookie dough and shouldn't be sticky.

Scoop the mixture with a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop and roll into balls. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.

Add chocolate melting wafers to a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot filled with 1-inch of barely simmering water. Heat stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Using the toothpick as a handle, dip each ball into the chocolate. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes.

Place the buckeyes back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Remove the toothpick and smooth the hole with the back of a spoon just before serving.
