For Christmas my family went to visit Ruby's relatives in Cleveland. Apparently they didn't make buckeyes when Ruby was a kid, but her sister Betsy has since adopted the Ohian tradition. We made SO MANY BUCKEYES but then they stayed in Cleveland, so I had to make more to take back to school with me. The recipe is no secret, so I can share it.
I started out mixing the peanut butter, butter, and confectioners sugar with the mixer, but eventually I got worried for the mixer and did it with a spoon...
...And then by hand.
These are ready to be frozen so that they can be dipped.
[Quasi] finito!
As promised, here's the recipe:
Buckeyes
1 lb peanut butter
1 stick + 1 tblspoon butter (softened)
1 lb confectioners sugar
1 package (or more) semisweet chocolate chips
- Mix peanut butter and 1 stick of butter. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar.
- When completely combined, put wax paper or tin foil on a large cookie sheet. Separate into small chunks and roll into balls. Freeze for at least 1-2 hours.
- When the balls are frozen, melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon butter. With a toothpick, dip each ball into the chocolate. Let harden.
