I am making these right now. I am adding some rice cereal to the recipe to give it more texture. Can't wait until they are done!

I said this in comments, too, didn't know where to put. I made it with Organic Maranatha brand Peanut Butter and Organic Powdered Sugar (about 3/4 of what it called for) Organic real vanilla extract (not Vanillan - fake) and no butter whatsoever. I froze the PB balls for one hour before dipping and they turned out wonderful, even without the butter! Fun, fun. I would do it again.

I believe there are 2 cups of powdered sugar to a box (1#)... Hope this helps

We call these Buckeyes here in Ohio. I always freeze the balls for just a bit before using a toothpick to dip the balls in the chocolate. To make them look like Buckeyes, and to make it easier to dip them, you need to leave a round opening in the top when you dip them, only dip them a little over 3/4 of the way. This way they will be all chocolate covered except for the "brown spot" on the Buckeye. You can then just tap on the toothpick hole after they set a bit. I don't like to put them in the refrigerator to store, they seem to sweat. They taste best stored at room temperature. They're delicious and addicting. My recipe calls for 1 c. peanut butter, 2 c. powdered sugar, 6 tablespoons softened butter, 16 oz. almond bark chocolate coating, no vanilla. Makes about 60 balls. 5 stars from me, heaven knows I've eaten way too many. You can buy these in the groceries around here, $4.00 for 6-8 Buckeyes. Yikes!

This is a Christmas tradition at our house, we call them Buckeyes for some reason. Tried it one year with natural Peanut butter, they would not hold their shape. Guess it needs all that Hydrogenated oil in it. I also throw a little parafin into the chocolate to help it be smooth and shiny.

Shirleyoma, all these PB recipes are making me want to go eat it right out of the container. I'll make these as a welcome home treat for my hubby on Thursday, and hopefully there's left overs for our daughter who returns on Saturday. If not she can help me make more. Thanks:)

How much sugar is in a box (in ounces or cups)? I generally buy it in large-ish bags.
shirleyoma 2 years, 1 month ago said:

I froze the PB balls for one hour before dipping in Toll House choc chips -- and they turned out wonderful! Fun, fun. I would do it again.

I enjoyed the recipe, however...how many people know what measurement a box of sugar is? Most people purchase in a bag.

This sounds delicious!! ive done something similar before and put crushed ritz crackers in the peanut butter mixture to give it a little crunch! and a way to make em look smooth is just put them in the chocolate and stick in a tooth pick to remove them and fill in the little toothpick hole with chocolate, they usually end up pretty smooth looking!

In the tradition of my mother, I make these every year for the family. While I always do the chocolate coated ones, the ones covered with melted butterscotch chips end up getting eaten first.
