Ingredients:
2 Cups Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/4 Cup Butter
2 Cups Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 bag of Nestle's Semi- Sweet Chipits
1 bag of Nestle's Butterscotch Chipits
Toothpicks
Step 1:
Mix the peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract and powdered sugar in a bowl. Stir until combined.
(Should be dry and packable. If you find the mixture to be too sticky, simply add more powdered sugar.)
Step 2:
Shape into approximately 1-inch balls and place on baking pan. Put in Freezer for about 20 minutes.
(Slide toothpicks into the balls prior to placing into the freezer - for easier dipping later.)
Step 3:
Melt the semi-sweet and butterscotch chipits in a microwave safe bowl. Will take approximately 2 minutes, but stir occasionally until fully melted and blended together.
Step 4:
Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate w/ toothpick letting the excess coating drip off. return the chocolate coated peanut butter balls back to freezer until completely set. Place in a container and store in freezer until ready to serve.
Tip:
I suggest covering a large cookie sheet with wax paper - then when your buckeyes are set, you can remove the toothpicks and place into a container. Toss away the wax paper and you will not need to clean the cookie sheet.
Tip:
To make your peanut butter balls into actual buckeyes (chestnuts) simply do not completely dip the tops when coating with melted chocolate.
Yield:
Approximately 36 Buckeyes depending on size.
