These are WONDERFUL! More of a candy than a cookie though. I'm going to make these mini marshmallow sized at Christmas for my boys and call them "Reindeer Droppings!"

Easy and delicious! My four year old enjoyed helping me roll them into balls, and then he poked them all with toothpicks. Nice and creamy, we ate them all and now need to make more for Christmas.

Excellent! Exactly the right proportions! I did add 1/4-1/2 cup more PB, just because I like it, and I used 1/3 bar of parafin with 12 oz chocolate chips, rather than the shortening. Worked great!

I make these a lot. I cut the sugar back to 1/2 and the add additional sugar as need to get the consistency I am looking for. Be sure that your butter is softened and not melted. That is key for the texture!

I just made them -- they are great and the kids really enjoyed them. I always buy low fat peanut butter but found that the peanut butter mixture was a little dry. I added 1 tablespoon of water and stirred it with the mixer. That worked out great. Also, used a pastry brush to fix any "tarnishes" on the cookies. I'm going to a OSU v. Penn State game party. Watch those Lions eatem'up! Enjoy

For the balls: I used 1 1/3 cups peanut butter, 3/4 cup butter, and 3 cups powdered sugar. For the filing: I used 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening. That's the hershey recipe. I'm originally from Ohio. My mom and I make tons of these and then freeze them.

I tried one of the other very popular buckeyes last year. And it was nasty. I didn't taste like peanut butter at all. I used this recipe and added 1/2 cup more peanut buttter and they turned out perfect. I also used dipping chocolate which I got a candy store instead of chocolate chips and omitted the shortening.

I am the mother of 7 boys and the wife a an Ohio State Buckeye fan...buckeyes have been a favorite in our family ...i tried this recipe and must confess that it is WONDERFUL ! it is easy and the measurements are perfect. ( using the calculator for ALL RECIPES, i did alter the recipe to make 30 buckeyes) ...everything works together well and tastes even better. i highly recommend this to first time chocolate dippers and remember that when you are dipping, slightly tilt your rolled peanut butter ball to keep it on the toothpick. i have had so many compliments on the taste as well as their appearance...this is definetly a bookmarker on my favorites.

I have tried several buckeye recipes and I like this one the best. I melt the chocolate in the microwave instead of using a double boiler. I also freeze the peanut butter balls for about 20 minutes instead of putting them in the fridge before dipping. My son loves to eat these frozen.

YUMMY!! Very good. Couldn't find my peanut butter ball recipe so used this. Everyone loved them. I used 3T parafin melted with 2 bags choc chips. I'm sure it would also work wonderfully with chocolate almond bark as coating (all the stores were out for christmas so I will try it this way next time) I did mix with an electric mixer and it didn't seem like they would stick together but they did. Perfect. Thanks!

GREAT RECIPE!!! I found this recipe 4 years ago on this website and it is all the rave at all my parties and cookie exchanges! I always double the recipe because everyone loves them. Plus, they are so easy to make. I always use a toothpick when dipping the balls in the chocolate and them smooth the holes with a spoon.
