Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the peanut butter powder, powdered sugar, and salt together. Add the water and stir until well incorporated. Note that the batter will be very stiff.
Use a cookie scoop to measure out about 2 tablespoons (28g) of your peanut butter batter and place them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper (you don't need to roll them into balls quite yet; this will be easier to do when they are chilled).
Place the sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove the peanut butter scoops from the freezer and roll them into smooth balls with your hands.
Add chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring in between until you get a smooth consistency. Let the chocolate cool, but not harden.
Dip each peanut butter ball in the melted chocolate, just leaving a small portion of the peanut butter visible.
Transfer them back to the waxed paper and place them in the refrigerator to set, then transfer to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

*Chocolate note: Not all this chocolate will be used. More is needed so that the buckeye can be fully dipped in the chocolate. I measured the chocolate afterwards and the Nutrition Facts account for the amount of chocolate actually used (138g), so excluding the amount of chocolate that was left in the bowl.
