no bake buckeye balls recipe

No Bake Buckeye Balls

Delicious no-bake peanut butter balls coated in chocolate that taste just like the famous Ohio candy. These easy treats require no baking and are perfect for holidays or any sweet craving.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1Β½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep: Gather ingredients, line baking sheet with parchment paper and ensure butter is softened
  2. Mix: Combine peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth, mixing thoroughly
  3. Shape: Roll mixture into 1-inch balls, place on prepared sheet, keeping hands slightly damp
  4. Chill: Refrigerate balls for 30 minutes until firm, which is essential for coating
  5. Coat: Melt chocolate, dip each ball, return to sheet, working quickly
  6. Set: Refrigerate until chocolate hardens completely and ready to serve

Notes

  • Slightly dampen hands when rolling balls to prevent mixture from sticking to your hands.
  • Use toothpicks for easier dipping and cleaner chocolate coating finish.
  • Work in batches when coating to prevent chocolate from cooling too much during the process.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container for best freshness.
