Description

Buckeyes are a classic treat that originated in Ohio. They are a delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter, shaped like the nut of the Buckeye tree. This recipe puts a fun twist on the classic buckeye by adding Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture, giving it a crunchy texture.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Cook Time

There is no cooking required for this recipe, but you will need to chill the buckeyes in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

  2. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until fully combined.
  3. Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal.
  4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  5. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form the peanut butter mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill the peanut butter balls.
  7. Melt the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening together in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Remove the peanut butter balls from the refrigerator and dip them into the melted chocolate, using a toothpick or fork to hold them.

Recipe Tips

For a fun twist, you can add different types of cereal to the mixture, such as Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles. Make sure you use creamy peanut butter for this recipe, as chunky peanut butter will not work well. If the chocolate starts to harden while you are dipping the buckeyes, simply reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
