How to Make The Best Peanut Butter Buckeyes

1. Make the dough. Beat butter until creamy, then add peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence to form a dough.
   
2. Prepare the balls. Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
   
3. Dip. Melt chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, then dip each ball, leaving some peanut butter exposed. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
   

Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions

To Make-Ahead: Peanut butter buckeyes will stay fresh for up to one month in the refrigerator as long as you keep them in a container with a lid and a piece of paper towel on the bottom to keep them from sweating. 

To Freeze:  You can also freeze them for up to two months. Just wrap them in some paper towel, put them in a freezer bag, and freeze.
