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!!!

I've been making these for years. They never last long.

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")!

Awesome

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.

I made these for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. thank you.

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).

OPPS!! I "accidentally" tripled the recipe. Even after eating the 4th dozen they were still WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!! A Big Hit.

These were a big hit in my holiday gift trays but the recipe sure did make a LOT of them!

wow, these are so good. i made half of what the recipe called for and still ended up with over 90 buckeyes. it was my first time making them and they were very easy to make, i used a little bit more butter than what called for and they turned out great. recommened to all

These were delicious, but very hard to work with. Even freezing the peanut butter mixture, it would melt in your hands in no time. So, I spread some of the chocolate mixture in a 9x9 casserole dish, froze it, then spread the peanut butter mixture and then topped it with the remaining chocolate mixture. Refrigerated for a couple of hours then cut into bite size pieces. Also stored them in the fridge! This worked well and was very good. Thank you for sharing!

The only problem with this recipe is the quantity it makes. They are fantastic but there were so many! I ended up taking them to church, giving them away, and making gifts from them. An excellent recipe though. Will definitely make again (but half the recipe).

Quick, easy, and the lowest amount of butter I found for this taste. Don't listen to how to melt the chocolate! Melt your choc chips in a metal bowl over a low boiling pot of water (constantly stirring). Enjoy.

Wonderful. I made mine dime size which worked well. I also used Gulf Brand parafin wax - seems to work better than shorting. Laura Scudder's peanutbetter works better than some of the other off brand kinds. Imperial Marg (2 sticks) is what I used instead of butter, which might have helped the mixture be perfect for rolling. In some of my batch I added super
