Essential for any cookie tray, this Midwestern delight is always a hit.
I remember going home and proclaiming my love for this new confection to my partner.
He gave me the side eye.

How have you never heard of Buckeyes before?
Apparently, I have been missing out all my life.
Why Are They Called Buckeyes?

To this day, he still remembers that warning and repeats it every time he eats one.
These brands have the added oils you gotta keep the peanut butter from separating.
Avoid natural peanut butters.Peanut butter balls made with natural peanut butter will end up drier and more crumbly.

They should keep for several weeks.
They can also be frozen for up to three months.
More Peanut Butter Treats!

Sift the remaining powdered sugar and mix in and a smooth stiff paste forms.
Scoop up a small portion of dough (a small cookie scoop is great for this!).
Form 1-inch balls by rolling them between your palms.
Irvin Lin
Place on a rimmed baking pan lined with a piece of parchment paper.
Repeat until all the peanut butter filling is gone.
Skewer each ball with a toothpick; you’ll use this to dip the balls in chocolate later.
Irvin Lin
It’s best to do this now because the balls might be too hard later.
Place back on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the chocolate to solidify.
