Call them what you want. Either way, these chocolate peanut butter balls, Reese’s or buckeyes will be gone in minutes. It’s as easy as melting a few ingredients together, rolling into balls and then dipping in chocolate. Cool and eat. You can save time by melting the chocolate in the microwave. These treats are so flippin good and addictive.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/3 cups confectioners sugar
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the peanut butter. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from the heat. Stir in the sugar until smooth. (The mixture will be the texture of thick dough.) While still warm, use your hands to shape the dough into balls by the tablespoonful. Place on the baking sheet.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and use a toothpick to dip balls halfway in chocolate. Place back on the baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
