Instructions
-
Cream peanut butter and butter: In a bowl, cream together the peanut butter and butter, then add the powdered sugar until smooth.
-
Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for 5-10 minutes to firm them up.
-
Dip in chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each peanut butter ball, leaving a small circle of peanut butter exposed at the top.
-
Freeze to set: Place the dipped balls back into the freezer and let the chocolate set, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Almond Butter Variation: Swap peanut butter with almond butter for a nut-free or different flavor version.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing: Buckeyes freeze well for up to 2 months.
