Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeyes

This recipe for Buckeyes from Kristen Bell is an Ohio classic. As she says, " I always made Buckeyes with my mom growing up. I made them in high school during sleepovers with my friends, and now I make them with my kids. It’s fun because they get their hands all chocolate-y, plus it’s a simple recipe — you really can’t blow it."

Method

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and peanut butter.


Using about 1 tablespoon each, form and roll the mixture into small balls. Set the balls aside (I like to chill mine on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in the refrigerator) during the next step.


Using a double boiler or a saucepan plus a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips until smooth.


Dip your peanut butter balls into the chocolate to coat. Place the completed buckeyes back onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet and top with a few flakes of salt, if using.


Refrigerate for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the chocolate has set.
