All you need are four easy-to-find ingredients and a decent sweet tooth – we know you’ve got it all. It’s never not the time to throw together this quick and easy dessert that’s perfect for entertaining or even just for yourself!

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.

2. 2

   Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.

3. 3

   Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.

4. 4

   Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.

5. 5

   Enjoy!
