Instructions
- Cream the peanut butter and butter together with the vanilla extract.
- Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl and mix again.
- Pinch off tablespoon sized pieces and roll into balls. About 20g if you're weighing.
- Transfer balls to a baking sheet and chill until firm. At least 20 minutes.
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt on 50% power in the microwave. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Use a skewer or toothpick to dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate. Leave a bit of the peanut butter exposed for that signature buckeye pea look.
- Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up and enjoy. If you want to remove the holes left from the skewers, run a small knife or spatula over the tops.
Notes
- These will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks, just make sure they're covered.
- So important to scrape that bowl down after adding the powdered sugar. I forgot to once and to top was super firm but the bottom of the bowl was VERY soft.
- Coconut oil helps thin the chocolate so it's easier to dip things but you can use shortening if that's what you have on hand.
- The butter can be reduced a tablespoon for a firmer ball if desired.
