Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter. Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to blend until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter-peanut butter mixture. Mix on low speed initially to prevent sugar from flying out, then increase to medium speed. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes a thick, smooth dough that holds together easily.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Using clean hands, roll the peanut butter mixture into small 1-inch balls, placing them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up, which will make dipping in chocolate easier.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off excess chocolate and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all balls are coated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Store the finished Chubby Hubby Buckeye Peanut Butter treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Tips
- • Make sure your butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for the smoothest mixture • Chill the peanut butter balls before dipping to prevent them from falling apart • Use a fork or special dipping tool for neat, even chocolate coating • For a professional look, let excess chocolate drip off before placing on the baking sheet • If the chocolate starts to harden while dipping, gently reheat in the microwave • For variations, try using dark chocolate or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness • Let the treats sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor
