I remember these as a child on the Easy Coast and couldn't wait to make them for the holidays. I followed others' suggestions, mixing in 3 cups of sugar 1 at a time (with my hands). I also used the micorwave to melt the chocolate and it was fine. I was very lucky and didn't have to refridgerate before forming the balls. EXCELLENT!

These came out very tasty, but I had trouble dipping them. They kept sliding off the toothpick.

These are the best buckeyes!! The peanut butter mixture is not overly sweet but it IS super creamy!!! (I use 3 cups of powered sugar) Everyone loves them!! I do always seem to use more milk chocolate chips and butter flavored shortening than called for (doesn't hurt my feelings) Thanks for the AWESOME recipe!!!

I made these this past weekend. They turned out very well. I did deviate from the published recipe just a bit, incorporating changes that I have seen reccomeded by others. I used 3 cups of powdered sugar rather than a full pound, and I used 1/3 of a bar a parafin wax instead of shortening in the chocolate. The dough mixed up nicely, I actually rolled out the balls and then chilled them, that way they chilled faster than tying to chill the whole mound of dough at once. They came out well and dipped nicely in the chocolate, you do have to tilt is slightly when removing from the chocalate to keep it on the toothpick, but it's not a big deal at all.

I don't have a double boiler so I used a med pot and put a glass bowl on top and melted the chocolate in that. It worked perfect!

I put the balls outside in my Chicago winter weather for about 20 minutes to firm them up before dipping. If they are too hard it is hard to get a toothpick in them. Also substituting 1/3 of a bar of parafin for the shortening gives the balls glossier finish and makes them easier to handle. Adding dried dates to the peanut butter mix makes them extra yummy!

Excellent recipe. Since I buy my confectioners sugar in large quantities I will note for others 1 lb confectioners sugar equals 3 and one half cups. I like to make this recipe using 3 and one quarter cups confectioners sugar. The mixmaster really expedites the binding of the ingredients. Also I used the chocolate candy making disks at craft and grocery stores, formed the one inch balls on wax paper on a cookie sheet and put the cookie sheet into my freezer for 30 minutes . I use a long wooden skewer (shishkabob type) or a toothpick for dipping the cold dough balls and they turned out very well. Very professional looking. With the disks they can also easily be made with semi sweet or white chocolate.

Extremely yummy! However, I do have a few comments... I'm not sure why the butter has to be melted. I think it would be better to have the butter softened at room temperature - it would make it easier to cream with the sugar for a smoother result. And, then, I don't know what I did right/wrong/or different than anyone else, but I found the dough was just the right consistency after mixing it all together... without chilling in the refrigerator. And, forget using a toothpick! Save yourself the frustration - the rolled ball, after being dipped in chocolate, is too 'heavy' to stay on a toothpick. I ended up using my fingers along with tongs. After rolling the balls, I flattened the bottoms before dipping them in the chocolate, which made them easier to keep in place on wax paper. My first batch rolled all over when I picked up the tray to move to the refrigerator for chilling. All in all, a great recipe... a bit time consuming with the rolling and dipping, but well worth it! My hubby and 10-year old son both gave it a thumbs up!

I must have done something wrong because I couldn't get it to set up enough to make balls and hold on to the toothpick so I could dip them in the chocolate. They had good flavor but I had to add more conf. sugar and a litte more peanut butter to get the batter to firm up. I might give them a try again.

Just like mom used to make! I dip mine completely, in melted Hershey bars, and I always get asked to make them for parties. They make lovely gifts for teachers, etc. when you wrap them in pretty foil.

Great recipe! Very sweet and a great consistency. This was the first time I have ever made Buckeyes so I think I made a mistake adding the melted butter directly to the powdered sugar because I had little bits of pure sugar and butter. I will definitely use this recipe in the future! Since my first batch, I have found that if you cream together the peanut butter and powdered sugar before adding the butter it makes it easier to get the butter to mix in.

I was extremely frustrated with this recipe. I could not get the right consistency to make the balls, and keep them together. They would just crumble even before getting them into the chocalate, what a mess. I had to add an additional 1/2 cup of butter to get it right. I reviewed others comments and no one seemed to have this problem. I have no idea what I did wrong but hopefully the extra butter will fix the problem.
