recipe reviews for:

Buckeye Cookies III

“These are like little peanut butter and chocolate balls. You basically mix it all up together. It is a perfect recipe to do at a sleepover or for parties. It is pretty simple and it really doesn't take too long. It takes about as long as chocolate chip cookies do, maybe a little longer, but if you love chocolate and peanut butter, you'll love this.”

Outstanding! Had several people ask for the recpe. "Batter" is crumbly, so it needs to be worked well with warm hands into the balls. Otherwise very easy and extremely good!

Loved this recipe! We wanted something sweet one night and didn't want to go to the store or spend to much time in the kitchen (it's was movie night!) Made these in no time and they were a huge hit! My husband loves peanut-butter cups and devoured these! I will definitely make these again (more next time)! Thanks! :)

Like others I cut the sugar down by half. I only made these about the size of marbles. I had to hide these from the Hubby.

I made this because a family member is gluten free and I wanted to take a dessert to Thanksgiving dinner that everyone could enjoy. They were great, I received many compliments and was told that I am now to make this at every family get together! If you like peanut butter and chocolate, this is your recipe! I also loved the fact that they were simple to make and require no baking. Next time, I will double the recipe for the cookies, but not the chcolate. If you are making a single batch you may be able to halve the chocolate. Even with double dipping the cookies, I had quite a bit of chocolate left over. This is definately a keeper!!

I have a major sweet tooth, and even I thought that these were extremely sweet. We much prefer the peanut butter balls that call for graham cracker crumbs or rice krispies instead of just powdered sugar. Dipping took some practice, but went pretty smoothly. I did save a little bit of dough and after taking the balls off of the skewer, I used a toothpick and some leftover dough to fillin the hole. Some were eaten by my kids.

The only thing I did differently was used Olive oil, instead of shortening. Came out wonderful!!!

Hang on Sloopy... love me some buckeye cookies! This was the first cookie I learned how to make at the age of 7 and it has graced my Christmas cookie platters ever since. Once dipped, these cookies freeze like a champ (best eaten semi-frozen in my opinion). But these babies are sweet, sweet, sweet... so roll 'em small. Oh yeah, Go Bucks!

Taste= FABULOUS!!!!!! I read other reviews, and used 3/4 cup more peanut butter to take some sweetness away:) It took me a while to make, I made my own chocolate to dip it in, but added too much butter, so it didnt stick to the balls very well.... oops, my mistake :) anyways, will definitely make again!!!!!
