I love these things. This recipe is perfect. Just make sure the peanut butter mix is well-refridgerated before rolling and dipping them in the chocolate, because they'll fall right off the toothpick and start a mess. It is difficult to make them as pretty as they are when store-bought, but they're just as tasty!

These are kind of a pain to make... hard to get the chocolate on them, but boy are they tasty! Especially after a few days...

I'm not sure if maybe I measured something wrong, but the consistency of these didn't really work. Since they were good I will try making them again, but with a bit more powdered sugar to make them harder. After putting them in the fridge for a few hours I took them out to roll them into balls, and they practically melted in my hands! I put them in the fridge for an hour after that, then tried to dip them. By the time I had done five they were too soft, so I put the dough in the freezer for an hour. FINALLY I was able to dip them. The flavor is wonderful, and they are otherwise great! I took them to a bake sale and they were the first ones sold!

*Just like my Mom used to make! These are so delicious, and the recipe is quick and easy......I used milk chocolate chips, and I didn't have tooth picks, so I just did it the messy way and dipped them by hand. Everyone loved them!*

I also used the Dark Chocolate Disks and found it much easier to do. I don't have a double boiler. I bought three bags and just microwaved them! When the chocolate started to cool and harden, I jsut remicrowaved it. Worked like a charm! Also, a tip for the crumbling. REALLY refrigerate them before you dip and right before you dip, give them a quick roll and squeeze in your hands. Out of the two batches I made, I had one break on me!!! Great recipe-my work finshed all two batches in 15 minutes!!!!!

I think I would prefer these with milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chips, or a 50/50 mixture of the two. The inside was easy to make, but dipping in chocolate was a little difficult since I don't have a double-broiler. I couldn't get the coating thin enough on the balls, so the coating came out a little heavier than I would have liked. But that's just my problem, the recipe was excellent!

The candy would crumble as I rolled it in the chocolate. I just kept re-melting it for softness. I'm wondering if there is a way to make the chocolate more crisp after refrigerating. I also think they came out too big. Recommend making the balls a little on the small side - very rich. All in all - pretty good.

Hi this recipe was so easy to make. Everyone loved it, too. My only problem was that they turned out a little dry in the middle. Then I heard that if you want them to be dry you need to use Reduced Fat Peanut Butter which is what I did. So keep that in mind when you are buying the PB!

I'm not a huge peanutbutter fan, so I thought these we alright, but my boss, who requested Buckeyes for his birthday loves them. He is even taking some to NY City for the weekend to share with friends there.

I've enjoyed these since I was about 12. They satisfy both my love of chocolate and peanut butter. Try adding some Rice Krispies to the peanut butter mixture. It adds a fun crunch!

I use Wilton Dark Chocolate Candy Melts melted in the microwave for the dipping chocolate. Doubled the recipe and made the balls about 3/4" - Doubled the recipe easily makes over 9 Dozen Buckeyes! Perfect for giving everyone a little package of them. Great easy recipe!

A little difficult to dip in the chocolate but now I have a nifty tool which eliminates the toothpick and is much simpler to use. We absolutely LOVE them!!

I thought these cookies were hard to make, took a lot of time not as easy as it sounded in the recipe. I think if you made the balls first than chilled then it would work better. They were very good tasting and I will try then again
