Naturally Gluten-Free Desserts
BUCKEYES
Makes 4 dozen
3 ¼ Cups Confectioners' Sugar
2 Tbls Brown Sugar
2 Cup Peanut Butter, smooth
½ Cup Butter, melted
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Bags Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Line a baking sheet with parchment
Beat the sugar, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
In a deep, microwave-safe, bowl microwave the the first bag of chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Repeat when needed for the 2nd bag.
Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, and then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Can be served at room temperature or well chilled.
NOTE: Always read labels carefully
