I love making these they are super yummy and are a great treat to bring around work during the holiday season. This recipe makes A LOT though so be careful if you don't want these in your fridge for a month cut it in half.

I had no idea what shortening is (had to google it!), and can't find it in the stores in South Africa. Left it out and the Buckeye Balls still came out great - tastes just like Reese's Peanut Butter cups!! Can't wait for my mom to taste them!

These are yummy. There is a fine line between too much and too little powdered sugar in this one. With the full amount, my dough was a little crumby, so I added more pb. I got a little bored about halfway through dipping all of these, so I rolled the rest in chopped peanuts and sea salt. Both are delicious. Thanks!

This is a good recipe. I mainly made it cause I wanted a nice smooth filling to go between cookies which I was then going to dip in chocolate and of course the I did not want the sugar content to be too extreme. I made the leftover mixture into buckeyes though and I have to say, they are delicious, but I always make peanut butter & chocolate bars/cups and even a buckeye recipe recently which used graham crackers in the mixture. I think I must have missed that extra texture in these buckeyes. They tasted just fine though and I am sure it will be perfect between my choc. dipped cookies.

These are honestly the best buckeye balls ever!! I made them for a class I'm in and they all LOVED LOVED LOVED them. A lot of them asked for the recipe.. When I was making it, it was too hard to actually dip only part of them in, so I just pretty much rolled it in the chocolate..so they were pretty much just peanut butter balls. These are extremely fattening and high in calories though..I think i'll try it next time without the butter and the shortening..

these are very pretty and got rave reviews from all who ate them. As others did, i formed the balls right after mixing and put the toothpicks in and popped in the freezer for about 20 minutes. I love the Pioneer Womans method of melting chocolate. Simmer water in a sauce pan with a glass bowl on top. The chocolate melts quickly in the bowl without burning. Great for melting chips or candy coating.

These are delicious! Instead of dipping I spooned the chocolate over top of pb balls. They turned out to be more 'acorn' than 'buckeye' but they were awesome.

Smooth, creamy, sweet & a little salty. Used Hershey's milk chocolate chips and set tray on snowy, ice cold front porch to harden. These are soooo yummy. Want them out of the house so we don't eat them before Christmas!

Well I thought they were pretty good! I used the tip of 3 cups confectioners sugar. Only prob was the p.b. was really stiff and hard to mix. They tasted really good though, I was looking to recreate the taste of the ones you get from Cracker Barrel because they are so expensive and these definately did the trick. My boyfriend said they taste exactly the same.

this is an excellent recipe, hint for those like me who have trouble dipping with a tooth pick, freeze the balls until very firm, use a fondue fork to dip with, works like a charm

Ewww, these were way too sweet. I mixed in more peanut butter after trying the first batch to make it less sweet, but that changed its consistency. My husband thought they were fine, but only ate a couple. We threw most of them away.
