1 Video | Photo: Frozen Peanut Butter Bites Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) jar creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Directions
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar together until smooth and stiff. Beat in the vanilla extract. Shape the peanut butter mixture into 20 (1-inch) balls and place on a waxed paper-lined sheet tray. Place the tray in the freezer for 1 hour.
Add chopped chocolate to a small bowl set over gently simmering water. Stir to melt. Remove chocolate from heat. With 2 forks, carefully dip the chilled peanut butter balls 1/2 way into the chocolate, let excess drip off, and lay onto the waxed paper-lined sheet tray.
With a fork, swirl some decorative chocolate across the top of each bite. Place in the refrigerator for the chocolate to set and the peanut butter to solidify, about 30 minutes.
Cook's Note: If it's a hot and humid day outside dust your hands with confectioners' sugar before rolling the balls. This will make it less sticky.

I made these Peanut Butter Bites. And they were delicious. I used Milk Chocolate Chips instead of Semi-sweet pieces. They were so easy to make,next time I will double the recipe.

This recipe is simply awesome! Everyone refers to these as buckeyes, however if you look at the ingredients in buckeyes they are quite different. This is by far better than any "buckeye" recipe I've made or had before. We just love them!
I did make one change, instead of using semi-sweet chocolate, we've replaced it with chocolate candy coating. This can be found in the baking isle usually, and is cheaper than chocolate here. I melt it in a bowl over water at a near boil, and dip them in it. The chocolate candy coating gives it a chocolate taste, but also more of a crunch (better texture to match the soft peanut butter. It's great!
