↓↓↓↓↓ BUCKEYE BALLS RECIPE BELOW ↓↓↓↓↓
Let's head into the kitchen and make a batch of easy chocolate peanut butter balls. This is one of my family's favorite Christmas candy recipes. I've been making this buckeye candy recipe every Christmas since I was a kid, and now you can make it too!
PRINTABLE RECIPE: 🖨️ flouronmyfinge... 🖨️
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a small mixing bowl, mix up the first three ingredients, including the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar.
2. Take about a tablespoonful of the peanut butter mixture and begin to roll it between your hands. Shape it into as round of a ball as you can and place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
3. Continue rolling until all of your peanut butter mixture has been rolled into peanut butter balls.
4. Add toothpicks (for dipping) to each ball.
5. Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour.
6. Melt the chocolate according to package directions.
7. Once your chocolate is ready to go, you can remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and start dipping right away.
8. As you partially dip each buckeye into the chocolate, using a toothpick or dipping tool, place it back on the wax paper lined cookie sheet.
9. Chill the chocolate covered peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer ’til set, probably about 15-20 minutes.
10. Then remove all the toothpicks and cover up the holes with your finger (optional step).
11. Store them in an airtight container or festive Christmas tin (lined with wax paper) in the fridge.

We not only made these for holidays when I was growing up , we made them anytime we wanted candy. We lived way out in the country and buying store bought stuff just wasn't an option most of us time. I loved these frowning up.
Medra, that's about like my family growing up. Buckeyes are a family tradition.
We made this too my Dad made a recipe of 40oz of peanut butter all the time we cover the whole ball and call it peanut butter balls
Then put them in the freezer
These little balls of peanut butter goodness are definitely a holiday staple in my house. I am not sure if it's elsewhere in the comments, but many years a good friend of mine gave me a tip that turns this into two great desserts. Use the leftover dipping chocolate to cover pretzels (we use the tiny twists) and whatever toasted nuts you like. Over the years, this has become such a well-loved part of the tradition that we often times melt extra chocolate, just so we can make sure we have enough for lots of pretzels and nuts.
I do pretzels too
That's a great idea, Susie! Chocolate-covered pretzels are the best.
Try crushing peppermint sticks and pretzels - stir into melted dark chocolate and pour onto wax paper - break into bark - sooooooooo good
@@violaspencer5628
Sounds good
Ive never had peppermint with pretzels but l love pretzels and chocolate. Thank you!
Peanut butter and chocolate... can’t go wrong ! Yum !
If giving as a gift put them in cupcake papers after dipping before putting them in a container.
We used to eat Buckeyes all the time when I was a teenager. It wasn't really even a holiday thing we ate it anytime of the year. I kinda miss them.
You should make some! Not that difficult.
@@scarletgrey47 Oh I will!! 🙃😊
I have family that are the Biggest Ohio State University Buckeye fans. Who by the way are going to the Rose 🌹Bowl this year. I sent her this recipe. She was so glad to get it. Great game day snack for sure! Thank you, when I saw you were doing I had to watch. Happy Holidays 🎄☃️🎅🤶🍾🥂 non-alcoholic Champaign for me. Everyone stay safe. Go Buckeyes, make us Proud.
Sherry, this is definitely one of the best game day snacks. You just can't beat buckeye balls!
I always come back to this video to make these! Everyone always tells me how amazing these are & my husband loves them!!
Also I love how you say “if you’ve never had buckeyes I’m truly sorry” 😄 real feels Lolol soo great.
Thank you for an amazing easy recipe
That's awesome!! They really are one of my favorite desserts. Sooo good.
I've been making these for years and it never occurred to me to put a toothpick in each one for more stability when dipping. The Ghirardelli Semi Sweet Chocolate Melts are heaven to work with. Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks.
I tried buskeyes for the first time last Christmas they are fantastic nothing better than chocolate and peanutbutter
Linda, I wholeheartedly agree.
Wow! I’ve never had any of this. I think I will make them this Christmas with my daughter. It might be a new family tradition!!
That's what buckeye balls are made for, Holly! They're a great family tradition.
From Ohio here, the recipe I use I've had for about 50 years....double boiler and add paraffin, etc...long before microwave ovens...love love these, I usually make at holidays for gifts...brings back memories of snow and white Christmases past....not much snow in Georgia so these work...lol
That's how my mom, from WV, taught us how to make and dip them!
That's how I've always made them. I grew up in Ohio.
I'm not entirely sure of the origins of my recipe, my childhood best friend's mom would make these and we helped, I copied the recipe and still have original written paper I was maybe 16 or 17 looking at my writing...this year I am also trying my hand at Rum balls, one of my dad's holiday favorites 😎
@@meanderingmyrrkat8798 How/where does your recipe differ from this recipe? And what form of chocolate do you use? (The old, traditional recipes are always intriguing.)
@@theelizabethan1 Hi...at that time wafer melts didn't exist so originally bakers chocolate or cocoa powder was used, when I copied mine chocolate baking chips were available...paraffin wax was added to melted chocolate to stiffen it and help prevent melting at room temps...we didn't have air conditioning then either 🤣👍
These on balls are so good...we have them in christmas
They're the best. We make this recipe all throughout the year. They're so easy!
What a coincidence I found this video I just made these for the first time today. My recipe called for crushed Rice Krispies and I coated them with dark chocolate chips
That's a great idea, Lucy!
Just in time for my Christmas goody making tomorrow!
My wanna be wish mother use to make these and I loved them. I miss Michelle and her chili. Ty for the recipe God bless Michelle foster and u
Oh, I just love the holidays 🎄and all the goodies that come with it, like these easy buck eyes so good!!!
Love this buckeyes dipped in melted chocolate
They're so good!!
You wouldn’t happened to have the recipe for buckeyes with Rice Krispies…they are so good and the texture to die for! Thank you for your video and truly describing how to make these delicious Buckeyes.
Thanks. I made these for gifting! Delicious! Wow! Thank you.
I’m gonna make these tomorrow Mel ♥️
Bucky! Thanks so much Mel, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Kevin, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
They look so 😋 yummy my daughter inlaw is from ihio I just asked her whats so special about buck eyes 👀 &now I know why. I will definitely be making this in my home thank u so much 👋 bye
Yummy a must at my house for the holidays every one loves them but thanks for sharing❤
Yes, they're a staple every holiday season around here!
Grandma Holland made these every year for Christmas! She would put chocolate all over them and put a pecan on top! I remember receiving a Christmas tin with layers of these candies inside!! Such special memories and I sure do miss her... she brought our family together with food.
That sounds like a lot of fun, Angela. She had a great idea in topping buckeyes with pecans. Buckeyes have always been a Christmas tradition around here. I do greatly miss my grandmothers as well.
Buckeyes are awesome 😁😊
I made these yesterday except I did them in a bar. And my husband said they are his favorite Christmas baking so far! That was my first time making them. So easy
how did you do in bar?
Thank you very much for sharing with us. Blessings
Thank You for watching!
I don't do holidays, but anytime is good for Buckeyes.
I fully agree!
Wow this is awesome thanks for sharing
Sounds great thank you
Love love love Buckeyes
Thank you for sharing a smaller recipe, most have enough for a few yrs. Will be making these, NOW! Yeah, I’m bored, might just as well add a few extra lbs for winter. What are people calling it, the Covid 20 😷🎄☀️ love how you managed to get a bakers dozen
Thank you my daughter and I will be making these today!
Going to the store first thing - gotta make me some buckeye balls!
Can’t wait to make these…😊❤
They're so good!!
My mom used to make these every year at Christmas I'm going to do this cause i love them and haven't had them in years🙂
Awesome, Jenny! Yeah, we've made them every year for as long as I can remember. Just like the Ritz cracker cookies. I hope you enjoy. Thank you!
@@MelLockcuff i will thanks i haven't had them in a while my mom passed away 17 years ago it was her tradition i want my kids to have some😍merry Christmas
Jenny, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! 😊
@@jessknopp8760 awesome! It's a favorite!
Michaels craft store caries wilton melt wafers as well ..
Wooooo! The kind you have here! YUM! 😋✌
I roll the peanut butter around a stemed maraschino cherry, then dip it in chocolate. So good.
Linda L leave some of the cherry exposed and you could call them bloodshot buckeyes! 😀
My sister and I had “Balls Day” today.
We made these(with cherries in the middle!), Cherry Balls, Oreo Truffles, Gingersnap Truffles, and Crispy Peanut Butter Balls.
It was a long day of Balls.
😂😂😂
I will try. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Mary!
Girl,,, how did you master that blender without tossing all that powder sugar all over,,me ,,would have been all over...lol
Wondering exactly same thing!
I thought the same thing. She did it at full speed. I was like dang I would have had it flying all over the place. She has super powers
I just got done making cookies and yes....flour EVERYWHERE!!!?? I must know your secret 😃
That was my first thought too.
That was everyone’s thought! Why was there no powdered sugar cloud??? You can’t do that in real life!!
These are my favorite candies! They are delicious! Thank You!
I like to listen to your stories during the steps:)
We add Rice Krispies to the peanut butter mixture. So good. I also make the balls one say and put them in the freezer. The. When you want them melt your chocolate and dip, or drop in, the frozen ball, tap off the excess chocolate and place on baking sheet. Because th balls are frozen the chocolate sets nice and fast.
We do that sometimes too, Nancy. That's a great idea!
I have failed at this more than once !! I'm excited to try again with your expert advice and recipe. Many thanks !
We make these every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas! So yummy! ❤️
We do too! One of my favorite Christmas treats.
I seen someone do a fudge using reecee's (lol) but I'm using your peanut butter balls on the ones I'm making. Thanks for sharing! God Bless
My family’s fav. I freeze the balls before dipping.
❤thank you for a nice helpful video..God bless you🎉
Thank You for watching, Debra! God bless you as well.
Thank you for sharing this awesome treat! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
I love these but I have never tried making them. You made it look so easy...I think I will try to make them. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
I'm going to make these tomorrow I've always have someone make me some give me some or they were always at a party or Christmas party Christmas dinner so I'm going to make them myself thank you happy holidays
Thanks for sharing 👏👏🎄☃️❄️🎅🤶
It's my pleasure, Diane.
Thank you for this recipe. I'm going to find a keto version of it.😊
Cream cheese peanut butter vanillia and chill in fridge taste like peanut butter cheesecake
That's exciting. Let me know how it turns out!
@@kidshshsbsdbdb3072 niiiiice!!
I too grew up making these every Christmas with my family only we made them into balls. We always melted a bag of chocolate chips with a little paraffin wax to coat but I might try your idea. SO yummy!
I make them but a bit larger and stripe them with white chocolate and they are covered with the chocolate
I made these and they are awesome!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
Excellent instructions... I just found you and I’m hooked! My friend from Ohio would bring these lovely treats to work ! Now I can make them thanks to You! Happy Holidays! Can’t wait to see more of your inspirations!!
Merry Christmas, Ellen! There are many more videos to come!
You sound like me. I had no central air and heat growing up either. I was raised on a farm in a very old, large farm house that was over 100 years old. I would wake up and see my breath in the cold seasons. You could chill anything in that old drafty house!
One thing is for sure, experiences like that create many, many memories, and they provide no shortage of stories to tell!
I Love your Kitchen
Thank you, Shelly.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thank you very much excellent
I love buckeyes. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas, April!
@@MelLockcuff Merry Christmas.
I've actually made them with mint chocolate..Yum !
My grandma made something similar to these but she would mix in Rice Crispies into the peanut butter.
Thats a great idea! I may have to try that.
Thank You for the recipe !
Any time, Lisa!
Easy peasey lemon squeezee.
Can't wait to try these 😋
Buckeyes are in many grocery stores during football season. Never heard of them being associated with Christmas.
Really love the buckeye balls could you show me what I would like to dip in Carmel then dip in chocolate I've got a party and thought you buckeye balls are Great 👍
I have the recipe clipped from a late 1970's newspaper. It called for rice krispies (which I didn't care for) and the recipe stated that the toothpick hole represented the pupil, making it look more like a Buck's eye.
Is this the same as Martha Washington candy? I used to make the Washington candy every year. Ita was very time consuming, but very delicious.
No, buckeye balls are definitely different. They're basically chocolate-covered peanut butter balls.
I was disappointed by the flavor of the Ghiradelli wafers. Yes, they’re tastier than almond bark, but I prefer the flavor of semisweet (or even dark) chocolate chips. I add a tablespoon of oil (something neutral flavored like sunflower) to a 10-12 oz bag of chips. There’s no need to use a separate toothpick for each buckeye. As someone who has made larger batches (3# p sugar, 2# pb, 1# butter), I chill the peanut butter balls and insert a toothpick into a ball, dip in chocolate, place on wax paper, pull out toothpick, and then repeat using the same toothpick for each pan.
Thanks for the tips, Amy. You make some very good points!
I think Ghirardelli is the primo of chocolate. Coconut oil is healthier oil too.
I have a recipe that calls for 1 sick of salted butter ..and rice krispies and they are creamy delicious with a crunch, reminds m BB of the Willy Wonka crunch Bar!
Yummy 😋
Do you ever have to re heat the chocolate ?
I know this is a year ago but I just found the video. I do the same with my butter in the microwave but I have found if you put it on defrost you have a lot longer time to catch it before you do that.
I make these every year but about 5 x her recipe. I add vanilla and use almond bark to coat. We made about 1000 this year
Wow! That's awesome, Belinda.
Go Buckeyes lol
attempted to make these but my batter came out real creamy not crumbles, then just kept adding powder sugar til I got the consistency. Not sure how they came out. Hope everyone I give a gift basket to likes them.
I have done milk, dark and tonight I'm making white chocolate. I also was thinking of trying to inject little dark chocolate in the center then dipped in chocolate
That's a great idea, Tiffany!
You are missing 3 heavenly ingredients that take these to level 100. I’d never make them plain like this
Is there a chocolate I could use that I wouldn't have to refrigerate?
I don't know of any that would work. Sure, you could skip the refrigeration, but the chocolate would likely go soft.
You could call the white ones snowballs
Love that, Crystal!
Can you make them with almond butter?
Yes, Michael, almond butter makes a great direct substitute for peanut butter.
there delicious
Your natural hair is beautiful 🤗
Thanks, Mary. I appreciate it!
What can you use if you don’t like dr chocolate?????
You can use any chocolate you'd like. Our neighbor even uses white chocolate.
If wanted to add rice crispy when in the process would that be??
You can simply add them to the peanut butter mixture. It's a great way to change things up!
Do you think it would work if I mixed it with my spatula old school style?
I can’t see why not. I mix it old school style quite often myself.
My son & I had a horrible time melting our wax & chocolate chips, it was thick & globby. What did we do wrong?
pink white red White chocolate vwould be pretty😷👍👍PGH pa
Can I substitute natural smooth peanut butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can, but don't use a super oily or greasy peanut butter. Some "natural" peanut butters can be quite oily, and this can cause problems with the chocolate not sticking as it should.
Do you have cook book
Not yet.
How much extra butter
Bailey, you can find the recipe here: flouronmyfingers.com/buckeye-peanut-butter-balls/
Can I use a keto powdered sweetener and Lily's dark chocolate chips?
I don't see why not, Rhonda, I prefer melting wafers, but chocolate chips will work.
Just holidays? These should be served on every gameday.
I agree!
WOLVERINEEEEE
Chocolate cherry cheesecake
What does this recipe make like 10 peanut butter balls?!
I counted 13
That's probably not far off. It makes a small batch.
