This simple Buckeye recipe creates irresistible peanut butter balls coated in rich chocolate, using only five ingredients. A quick, no-bake treat that will have everyone asking for more!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 ounces semi-sweet melting chocolate, melting wafers, or chocolate almond bark

Instructions:

1. Cream the Mixture:
   Using electric beaters, blend the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a creamy consistency forms. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

2. Form and Chill:
   Scoop about five dozen small mounds of the peanut butter mixture onto a baking sheet. Freeze for 20 – 30 minutes to firm them up, making it easier to roll them into smooth balls. I use gloves to form them, makes clean-up easier!

3. Melt the Chocolate:
   While the peanut butter mounds are chilling, melt the chocolate, melting wafers, or chocolate almond bark according to the package directions.

4. Dip and Coat:
   Remove from the freezer, form into smooth balls and then insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.

5. Store:
   Once set, transfer the Buckeyes to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
