Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cups - creamy peanut butter
- 1 sticks - unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups - confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons - pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 1/2 pounds - bittersweet chocolate chopped
Directions:
With electric mixer, beat peanut butter and butter at medium speed until creamy. Reduce mixer speed to low and mix in confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt (mixture will be crumbly).
Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on a wal paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in microwave-proof bowl, heat chopped chocolate, 60 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
Resting each ball on the tines of a fork, lower it into the chocolate until it's two-thirds covered. Let excess chocolate drip from fork before placing ball back onto wax paper-lined baking sheet to cool. Refrigerate on the baking sheet until chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
Storing: Keep Buckeyes refrigerated, between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container, for up to 3 weeks.
