I wanted to share with ya’ll my Buckeye recipe. If you remember, I made over 2,000 of these puppies as favors for our wedding in October ’09. This was a hit with all of our friends and family…{right Grandpa, Wayne, and Steve?!?!}

For my wedding on a budget, I knew I needed to stretch my dollars. I also knew I wanted something sweet for my guests to enjoy and remember our special day…and oh do they remember!

I made over 1,500 Buckeyes for my guests. I placed them in a sheer bag so that they could take them home, but, as I later learned a lot of them had been eaten as the guests were patiently awaiting our arrival! The rest is history and is a much-anticipated treat that my Grandfather and closest friends often request. I do fill their needs as I put my Famous Buckeyes in the Holiday Sweet Treats that I gift to those dearest to my heart!

These are a big hit that everyone will talk about all year!

Course Dessert

Servings 10 Buckeyes

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 stick household paraffin wax
• 2 sticks butter (softened)
• 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 lb. confectioners sugar
• 2 cups peanut butter, creamy

Instructions

 

• Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper.
• Melt butter and add to peanut butter and sugar; stir. Take a teaspoon full and work with hands to shape into balls and then put on baking sheet. Place baking sheet with dough in freezer for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Melt paraffin and chocolate chips together on low heat in microwave. I prefer to do it with double boiler by putting water in a pan and placing a Pyrex bowl onto of the pan. If you do it this way, be sure that the water doesn’t actually touch the bowl or it will burn the chocolate.
• Take dough from freezer and place a toothpick into the balls and dip ¾ of the ball into chocolate mixture. Put balls back onto waxed paper to cool.
• Once the buckeyes are made, you can place back into freezer to harden. Once the Buckeye is hardened you can stick into a Ziploc bag or container and store up to 3 months.
