Buckeye Candy

These peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate get their name from their resemblance to the nut of the buckeye tree.

Buckeye Candy recipe

Prep: 10 min | Yield: 72 candies (6 dozen)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter, (not all-natural)
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
  • 3 3/4 cups (16 ounce box) powdered sugar
  • 2 cups (12 ounce package) Nestlé® Toll House® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Line baking sheets with wax paper.
  2. Beat peanut butter and butter in a large mixer bowl until creamy.
  3. Beat in powdered sugar until mixture holds together and is moistened.
  4. Shape into 1 inch balls; place on prepared baking sheets. Freeze for 1 hour.
  5. Melt morsels and shortening in a medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; stir. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15 second intervals, stirring just until melted.
  6. Dip peanut butter centers into melted chocolate using a wooden pick, leaving a small portion of the center uncovered. Shake off excess chocolate and scrape bottom of candy on side of bowl. Return to baking sheets; refrigerate until chocolate is set.
  7. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
