So easy! I cut the recipe in half and took the suggestions to freeze the balls with toothpicks, first. They tend to get soft quickly if you don't. Highly recommend this recipe. Thanks!

These remind me of the ones my mother made when I was a child. When I make these everyone just indulges until they are all gone. Very yummy.

Thanks for the recipe! It worked great to put the toothpicks in before freezing the peanut butter balls. It made it super easy to dip into the melted chocolate!

These are great and always disappear quickly. Make sure you adjust and recalculate the serving amount because the recipe as it is makes a ton. I always cut it in half or even more. I did like others have and cut down on the sugar in mine. They were still easy to handle and plenty sweet. I always up the chocolate dip part of the recipe a bit so I have plenty and it is easy to dip them all. Plus you can use the extra chocolate dip for other things like cookies, nuts, etc. These are yummy!

This recipe is amazing. All of my kids loved it..in fact I ended up having go make four batches last christmas, they wouldnt stop eating them. We dipped the whole ball into chocolate just not half. I ended up freezing them and then taking what I needed out. I would recommend this one as its now our holiday favourite.

Made this recipe for chistmas and froze them, but everyone likes them so much that I am going to have to make more for chistmas. Also they freeze very well in air tight containers.

Very very good. However, I cut the recipe in half because it was really big. I might not next time because they went pretty fast.

This was very yummy!!! As said in other reviews, the balls were hard to form, so I coated my hands with flour every coulpe of balls and it made it sooo much easier. I put the balls in the freezer over night and took them out when I was ready to dip them in chocolate. I also melted the chips minus the shortening in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until it was melted. I will make these again and again!!!

Tasted fabulous, but they were blobs, not balls. I'll try a different one next time.

I LOVED these. It made a ton, but I still had to make it twice last month due to demand at my house. :)I would suggest enlisting help rolling the peanut butter, or you will be there for hours and hours. ;)

I halved this recipe because I didn't want 144 buckeye balls. Possibly this is why this recipe almost turned out to be a complete waste of ingredients? The peanut butter would not form into balls even after freezing the mixture. So to salvage my mess, I did an ingredient search on this site and found a recipe that included 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. The crumbs thickened up the peanut butter and we were able to roll them into balls! They were a hit with my husband and kids. When I mentioned that I would not be making them again next year, my husband emphatically insisted I do! (Also on a funny note, my 4 year old nephew loved these and kept asking for more "eyeballs")!

Great recipe - however, I just let the butter soften VERY well instead of melting it. Also, if you 1/3 bar of paraffin instead of shortening to the chocolate while melting, the coating turns out better.

Another Buckeye (from Ohio) with a tip... if you have a local cake and candy store, go by melting chocolate for candy such as Merken's chocolate instead of using chocolate chips. It is creamier and will help with the dipping process.

This recipe was super easy to put together and had excellent flavor. The only draw back was dipping the peanut butter balls in the chocolate, they were too soft, even after hours of refridgeration. I finally put the balls in the freezer over night, then worked quickly to dip them into the chocolate. That was much less frustrating and they looked beautiful when I was done (plus tasted excellent).
