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.”

I have made buckeyes for years and I am a dark chocolate fan so these are perfect. Instead of the shortening (which I didn't care for) I use a quarter chunk of paraffin wax. Melted it in the pan first, then the chocolate. Yummy

"FANTASTIC!!" was the response from my hubby - an OSU fan, Ohio native and Reese's junkie. Now he gives me sad puppy eyes when he wants me to make more. The dough freezes extraordinarily well for a long time in a freezer ziplock which makes it easy to make a few at a time when he needs a buckeye fix. If you don't care about eye-appeal, but merely tastiness, you can fling the balls of dough into the melted chocolate and fish them out with two forks. Wonderful recipe, Sally. Thank you for sharing.

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.
