This buckeyes recipe is a Christmas classic. The creamy peanut butter centers show through the chocolate coating to show you what is inside. These homemade candies are easy to make with simple ingredients and they taste amazing.
Mix together the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. The mixture might be a little crumbly to start, but a few kneads should bring it together.
Roll mixture into balls. Since you aren't baking them, you can make them whatever size you'd like. I made mine about a couple of teaspoons each so that we could have a lot of smaller balls.
Place balls on wax paper lined baking sheets and put them in the freezer for at least a half hour.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
Using a toothpick to hold the peanut butter balls, dip them into the melted chocolate covering all but a small bit of the ball.
Place back onto the wax paper and allow to set up completely.
