Ingredients
For the cookies:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the chocolate coating:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Equipment
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl
Electric mixer
Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
Method
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. 3. Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and mix until well combined. 4. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and salt. 5. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. 6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the balls for about 30 minutes. 7. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring until smooth. 8. Using a toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the chocolate mixture, leaving a small circle of peanut butter showing at the top. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. 9. Once all of the balls are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. 10. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftover buckeye cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a fun twist, try adding some chopped peanuts to the mixture before rolling the balls. If the chocolate coating becomes too thick while dipping the balls, simply add a small amount of coconut oil to thin it out. Make sure to chill the balls before dipping them in the chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
