How to Make Buckeye Balls
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, and 1 cup powdered sugar. Mix until well blended, adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until firm.
- Prepare a double boiler or use a heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Add 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup white chocolate baking chips to the bowl. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
- Remove 1/4 cup of paraffin wax (optional, for a glossier finish) and add it to the melted chocolate, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the coated balls on wax paper to set completely.
- Once hardened, store your Buckeye Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
