Serving Size: 42

Cooking Time: 110 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 Cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 Cups confectioners' sugar
• 2.5 Cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 Tablespoons shortening

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until creamy. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated. The mixture will be stiff.
2. Shape the mixture into small balls and place them onto a wax paper-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 to 60 minutes.
3. In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, combine the chocolate chips and shortening. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to prevent scorching, until the chocolate is melted, approximately 5 minutes.
4. Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating all but a small area at the top. Return the dipped balls to the baking sheet, remove the toothpick, and smooth over the toothpick mark. Repeat with the remaining balls.
5. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated balls again until the chocolate is firm, at least 30 minutes. Enjoy your delicious Buckeye Cookies!
