Peanut Butter Truffles/Buckeyes

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 C. (227 g) salted butter room temperature
  • 2 C. (512 g) peanut butter
  • 5 1/3 C. (640 g) powdered sugar
  • chocolate for dipping I used and loved Peter's milk chocolate bar.

Method
 

  1. Beat butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  2. Once fully incorporated add powdered sugar.
  3. Roll into balls and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate.  Remove balls from fridge. Dip individual peanut butter balls in chocolate and place on parchment paper. You can choose to fully coat the peanut butter ball in chocolate to make truffles, or place a toothpick in the center of peanut butter ball and dip in chocolate then place on parchment paper to set to make buckeyes.

Notes

-After I add in my powdered sugar and BEFORE I turn on my mixer, I always place a cotton towel around my mixer to block any powdered sugar from flying out.  It holds everything in place really well!
-What is written above is a x4 the original recipe so it can easily be cut in half or cut down to 1/4 of the recipe.  
-I used part of the large milk chocolate Peters chocolate bar for the dipping chocolate and it was the perfect dipping chocolate to pair with the peanut butter.
