- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until incorporated after each addition. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a small bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 30-second increments just until melted.
- Place a toothpick into the peanut butter center of each ball and dip in chocolate leaving a little bit of the peanut butter peeking out the top.
- Place on the same parchment lined pan and chill in the refrigerator until set.
Notes
- Do not use all natural peanut butter in this recipe.
- Store buckeyes in the fridge in a covered container for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
