Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

peanut butter

coconut oil

sugar

coconut flour

vegan dark chocolate chips

Prepare Peanut Butter Dough

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, powdered sugar, and coconut flour. Mix very well until you get a homogeneous dough.

Chill the Dough

Let the dough chill it the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until it is relatively hardened and easy to shape and mold.

Shape the Peanut Butter Balls

Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball with the palms of your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until hardened. 

Prepare Chocolate Coating

In a small deep bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat in the microwave for 30-seconds intervals, mixing well after each interval until you get a smooth and glossy mixture (it took me 2 intervals in total &#8211; 60 seconds) to get the chocolate to melt and become smooth.

Dip the Peanut Butter Balls in Chocolate

Use a toothpick to poke each peanut butter ball and dip it in the chocolate mixture, rotating the ball to cover most of it, leaving a small circle uncoated at the top. Place the coated buckeye balls on a parchment-lined plate and let them chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, and then use your finger to spread out the dough at the top to cover up the hole made from the toothpick before serving or eating.

Good morning Felicia,

Thank you for another interesting and amazingly simple to make recipe for this peanut/chocolate treat.

I really like your additional toppings tips to flavor these treats with nutty texture as I bite into each one  -  hmmm, it is so heavenly :)
"Additional Toppings: If you want to jazz these buckeye balls up a notch, you can also coat the buckeyes in chopped peanuts (or pistachios or almonds) after dipping them in chocolate for a slightly more festive touch."

I strongly recommend these treats to be served during the upcoming Christmas festive season !     Actually, I like them any time of the year :)

I love and bless you darling,
Mum

The buckeyes are a classic treat that just screams home cooking. They have a delicious and unique flavor, which is slightly nutty and sweet at the same time. Plus, there is something about rolling the dough into little balls and then coating them with chocolate that makes me feel like I&#39;m back in my childhood kitchen.

Buckeyes

butter (softened)

vanilla extract

confectioners’ sugar (sifted)

chocolate

shortening

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners’ sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough.

Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball and insert a wooden toothpick into the ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.

Remove peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Dip into melted chocolate leaving a small uncovered area so balls resemble buckeyes. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Use fingers to blend in toothpick holes.
