Sift the sugar before measuring or reduce it.... I reduced the shortening to 1 tablespoon and double dipped the balls. A fan favorite.

For the sugar problem: 4cu sifted = 3cu unsifted. But I suggest you continue to add the sugar slowly to gain a good working texture. Up the peanut butter by 1/2cu. If you are adventurous, cut butter to 1/4cu and add 1/2 cu honey. This will take you very close to Reese Cup flavor.

OMG SUB ALMOND BUTTER FOR PEANUT BUTTER! The butter version is very delicious, but the almond butter version is definitely the favorite. It is so freakin' good! I make a vegan version substituting Earth Balance for butter and using an organic palm oil shortening. This recipe is also naturally gluten free (so rare to find a vegan and gluten free dessert that is SO GOOD). I also added a little bit of sea salt to the almond butter mixture. Genius recipe!

Too dry at first, had to add more peanut butter and butter. However, after that they were great. Really easy to make, best when kept in the fridge. Everyone loved them.

only use 3 cups powdered sugar...keep hands wet to keep balls from sticking. Used Ghiradelli chocolate and did not use paraffin (used mixture of dark and milk chocolate). turned out great. Would be good with all dark chocolate.

This was my first attempt at making buckeyes, they turned out great. I bought chunky ( smart balance) peanut butter by mistake but was very pleased with the results. The simi- sweet chocolate was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the peanut butter and the chunks of peanuts gave it more interest. Will use this recipe again for sure.
