Ingredients
Instructions
Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the dough is firm enough to roll into balls.
Shape the Balls:
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball.
Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill:
Freeze the peanut butter balls for 30-45 minutes to firm them up.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and shortening.
Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Dip the Buckeyes:
Insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter exposed.
Place the dipped balls back on the baking sheet.
Set the Chocolate:
Refrigerate the Buckeyes for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Remove the toothpicks and smooth over any holes with a dab of peanut butter.
