Gluten Free Buckeyes
- 1½ cups peanut butter
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups confectioners sugar (also known as icing sugar)
- 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate candy coating
- Line a large tray or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, peanut butter,vanilla extract and butter, stirring until well blended.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls, and place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave (about 1 minute).
- Using the toothpick as a handle, dip each peanut butter ball in chocolate.
- Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes.
- Place chocolate covered peanut butter balls on wax paper and remove the toothpick.
- Once the peanut butter has softened, you can use a finger to smooth over the hole from the toothpick.
- Refrigerate, until chocolate is set. Store in refrigerator until eating or gifting.
