Peanut Butter Balls (Buckeyes) Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

[@De6bie]

I added a few tablespoons of coconut flour to hold back on amounbt of sugar. Worked like a dream. Good recipe, thanks.

[@aclarkclark2945]

Great idea for those of us watching our Blood sugar--like me--thanks so much

[@pashminagal]

Thanks for that tip, I was just thinking on how to use less sugar! My teeth hurt watching her stir it all in!!! Thought I might try it with powdered eurithritol.

[@danieldeangelis2082]

I made these and I used room temperature butter thus eliminating the microwave, they are wonderful!!!

[@sheila4062]

These nasty sugar bombs are a crime against humanity. I also live in Ohio and everyone gives these as gifts.

Thank you, Stephanie for all your wonderful recipes and your beautiful personality. How you deliver them to us. We are very grateful and I just love how you make it simple for us to follow especially me. Have a wonderful day.🥰

[@maryannsacino1012]

Stephanie Jaworski, you are really the best when it comes to following your recipes! I am making these as well as your truffle rum balls and red velvet cake !! thank you so much !

[@joyofbaking]

You can, although you may have to add more butter or oil if you find the mixture too dry.

[@nikityniks]

I made these for christmas this year and they were a hit (and delicious)!! Thank you!

[@bigalmohawk]

Hi Joy,iv been doing your recipes lately,never did all this good stuff,but you make it easy to undrestand.im a firefighter that was injured by a drunk driver so because of the injuries im stuck at home with not to much limitation.but on my good days i get to try to make your goodies.just wanted to say thanks....Al

[@Rockmachine99]

Baking was probably the first "instructional" use of the internet for me, back a hundred years ago. I went through at least 30 sites, but Joy of Baking was always may first, and last choice. The recipes are laid out so perfectly, but I really like how some of the older recipes (eg yellow and white cake) are authentic to their origin. Stephanie is fantastic...the best, and perhaps the most educated baker on any media. I blow-away all my guy friends when i show up with these babies, while at the same time, make their wives hate their husbands just a little more. They are that good.

Just made them yesterday and they are REALLY good! They are almost like a peanut butter cup, my whole family loved them! Be sure to make them pretty small like shown in the video (or under estimate the amount of "dough" you will use for the ball because it's a very rich treat). Also, make double sure your sugar is lump free. If you have to, whisk or use a sifter to take any lumps out of the sugar or you're going to have some major issues incorporating the sugar into the peanut butter (sounds pretty obvious now but I wasn't thinking it through when I made mine and I had to use a blender to get out most of the lumps, was a major pain lol). Lastly, as Stephanie says, make sure to melt enough chocolate when you dip your balls. I was surprised how much chocolate the balls picked up when I was dipping them and I had to make quite a few trips to the microwave to melt more chocolate for all of them. I found putting the balls in the freezer overnight and then dipping them made things so much easier, since the warm chocolate will make the balls too soft (and they will start to break) if they aren't frozen enough. They are definitely worth the effort though, will make them again! :)

Put my balls in the freezer?

[@1959bigjohn]

I made these yesterday and they came out great. Very easy to make. I used 70 % dark chocolate and they were fine. Thanks Stephanie

[@skydancer98x1]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made them last night and they were fantastic!! And you were right, it helps to get in with your hands at the end and keep adding a little more powdered sugar until firm.

[@Dathan]

Merry Christmas Stephanie! This is the first recipe of yours that I made with great success this season in 2019. I have also made your fudge, coconut pie, peanut brittle, and truffles. Your videos also motivated me to get an induction hot plate and a Staub heavy duty sauce pan. You should get some kick backs.lol Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@blahblahblah1302]

This literally saved me so much money this year on Christmas presents. I just made a huge batch of these and get them out to friends and family. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[@blindpeopledostuff3587]

Planning on these & other truffles for gifts now. Hope it saves me money too.

[@thehalloweeniesemporium580]

I haven't made these since I was in Jr high school... over 30 years! now, I can make them again....thank you for sharing!

[@bradleysuarez4]

I fell in love with your channel after the first 30 seconds " we are gonna make CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER....

[@joyofbaking]

Yes. There is a recipe on the website, however I haven't done a video yet.

[@erykalopez3255]

I substitute a good portion of the sugar with dry milk...came out bomb

[@LangKatharine]

I used to do that for my kids- lots more protein too!

[@tammyclark5059]

Can you give me your recipe please

[@Duchess_of_Cadishead]

Eryka Lopez thanks for the tip. I think I’d prefer less sugar too.

[@frostfox1208]

Great idea

[@shahlioness1972]

That's how Paula Dean makes hers

[@andyfemino4690]

Hi Stephanie, have been a fan of yours for a long time. Thank you for the education you continue to do. This recipe was the first one of yours I tried. It and all the ones that followed were great successes at my household. I was upset today when Allrecipes posted a recipe for Buckeyes and you didn't get any credit. All the same ingredients, some different measurements, but exact down to the toothpicks. Just think they should have given you the credit.

[@billyfoster3223]

I love these things! Great recipe! Cheers!😁😁👍👍 Enjoying you channel and videos!😁

[@ednasole854]

love ur recipes u make it look so easy and u say everything in grams and cups keep up the good work

[@missysbees]

Everyone loves buck eyes ! Been making these for many years, we use chocolate chips and a little bit of wax with chips, also used more butter than this recipe but I'm going try this recipe and cut back the butter! Good project for kids in the kitchen, so proud they helped and shared with friends, nice gift for neighbors, mailman . We would use jelly size Mason jars and take Xmas material a cut a round that was Inch and half larger circle and put over pop lid and put ring over material screw it down it's very cute ! I also use a bit of ribbon and tie around cap and make a bow! It's really adorable!

[@joyofbaking]

That is a cute idea for gift giving.

[@emojki2008]

I am glad I found u, u will bring lots of satisfaction to my family, my kids already like u

[@JoanRobertsPawling]

Always enjoy your demonstrations and your easy going manner. :)

[@billbenedon4025]

You made the best peanut butter balls in the world! WOW! Amazing maybe I’ll make them some day.

[@marychristy8140]

I've been waiting for this recipe to show up and I would like to thank you for this and making it look so easy, time consuming but delicious. A great treat for Christmas. Again, look forward to other receipts but WOW.... I love peanut butter and chocolate. God Bless.

[@amberflame5656]

Forget all that. I'm just going to sprinkle chocolate chips over a scoop of peanut butter and indulge! 😋

[@dylanford2838]

Thinking the same thing

[@carolirvine7663]

Yes, but that does not go over well at a party

[@simonfrisk3451]

I just want to hug you! Thank you for all these great recipes!

[@virkevan2006]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. They are really easy, just takes time, but well worth it!

[@joyofbaking]

I mix in a little shortening. You could use butter instead of the shortening though.

[@stevenA44]

I love these! I'm going to have to try and make them again. Been years since I tried. Thanks for the video!

[@paulawilson8834]

I made some and threw some rice krispies in them. They turned out so good!! Popped them in the freezer...even good frozen :)

[@joyofbaking]

They will last about a month or two in the freezer. I always wrap them in foil and then place in a freezer bag.

[@Imagodfollower]

Forgot about how easy they were to make im gonna make a batch & see if they turn out good. Haven't made these n years. Thanks for your video good easy recipe. I also use tooth picks n mine easy to pick up.

[@tanana2070]

Going to try this for sure! Looks yummy! I might do part smooth and part chunky peanut butter depending on if I want the silky smooth texture of a truffle. Thankyou for this recipe!!

[@Vvykk]

Believe me it works. I have made some very successful peanut butter cups with the mixture. Just take cupcake paper cups, pour melted chocolate in the bottom, then round and flatten the peanut butter into the shape of a round wafer, making sure you leave a thin gap around the wafer when placed on the bottom layer of chocolate, then add more chocolate. Very easy, and very delicious.

[@theresamarie7679]

Love watching her & learning her tips. I like the way she scrapes every bit out of the bowl & utensils like I do. It bugs me when the other cooking shows leave lot's of food in the dishes. Yeah I'm ocd on that! 😅😅😅🤭🤫

[@cgarns9733]

Cant wait to try. And I agree with scraping every drop out of the bowl!

[@dccorallo]

Canadian Eh? I’m all aboot this recipe!! I’ve had great success with this and everyone loves them Thank you

I hate to bake, but I have to make a dish to bring to a belated Christmas Party we are having tomorrow. I have to say that this is such an easy project that even I can do it and it taste great! Thanks so much for showing the video because I do much better visually watching tutorials than to read it in a book. Thanks!

[@joyofbaking]

I normally store them in the refrigerator, but they can also be frozen.

Omg!!! These were amazing!!! I agree make them small like her, they are sweet. :) I also did white chocolate, soooo good!!

[@babylover0990]

yes. that is what I usually use when I make these, it works good. I even use white chocolate sometimes, which also works pretty good.

[@arch1752]

Brilliant recipe, thank you Stephanie. Would I be better to freeze with the chocolate coating on or without? I would like to make in advance for Christmas. Thank you for your wonderful videos xx

I freeze them with the chocolate.

厲害啊，簡化了好多網上的食譜，以後我也要試試

[@johanbergsten]

I think it is great that you give measurmemnts in grams as well; it includes us europeans to grasp the recipies properly. :) great videos! :)

[@JulieT..]

The use of grams makes the recipe consistent every time you make it. I often use grams so I get the same results every time I make something. The cups/spoons can vary so much. This recipe looks delicious. I can't wait to try it. 😋

Just made these they are fabulous except I didn't have a lot of time so I pressed the dough in a wax paper lined brownie pan and melted bakers semi sweet chocolate and spread ontop then cut into small squares and used small baking cups for each piece IMG_0426.jpeg

[@catgirlKL]

They look yummy, I love peanut butter. Would think they are like the peanut butter cups you buy

[@deborahbuhrman2874]

I live in Ohio the Home of the Buckeyes,. The Buckeye candies are a big deal around here, especially during Football season! Only we always leave the end open so that it actually looks like a buckeye! That middle part makes great fast fudge too, just spread it in a bowel, then refregerate it untill the butter firms back up, then slice into squires! Not real fudge but not to shabby either, try it

[@jakemoeller7850]

Even though I love peanut butter, I think that I will try cashew butter in this recipe. My mouth is watering!!

[@Livlocalmartian]

Jake Moeller that’s sounds amazing! Or even almond butter instead, I may buy the supplies to make all three! I’m dying over here oml!

[@themamagoatshow]

I've made these for years! and chocolate chips work great! if the batters sticky its probably too warm! and you should pop it in the freezer for like 5 minuets before you add the sugar or just don't microwave as long.

[@TheDelinger]

Hi Stephanie, these looks really amazing! I'm trying to make it for someone with special diet and wonder if would the recipe work if I don't add any confectioner sugar and substitute the butter with coconut oil?

[@lydianicolenorwick125]

Try using peanut butter powder instead of confectioners sugar! Coconut oil or "plant butter"/ margarine should work fine. Check the ingredients in the chocolate and peanut butter you use against their dietary needs!

[@carolynlewis1306]

Thank you Stephanie another great video! Im definately gonna try these!

[@clairebenharroch5272]

I love you show.i saw it all the day, you explain very well, I am from France but I love in Miami, congratulations

[@pamelatify]

My grandmother taught me how to make these when I was a girl. She used paraffin wax in the chocolate to make a harder shell. You used to be able to buy paraffin wax in a box at the grocery store but I have not seen it for decades. I use shortening now too.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

It's there in canning supplies. I know Smart n Final always had paraffin.

You could place it in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.

[@thesmuuuuggh]

oh my GOD. those looks amazing.

[@vivd4663]

After you dip them in chocolate quickly spoon sprinkles over them. I use red , white, and green sprinkles mixed together for Christmas cookies.

[@joyofbaking]

Yes, they are rich and sweet, but that is what a peanut butter ball is. You could try tweaking the recipe using less sugar.

[@N0Bark]

Watching this video, and reading a few comments makes me feel like you really care about the people watching your videos, Very nice job! I will be trying this recipe soon I hope I get it right! Keep up the Good work, and my God Bless you.

[@TheKentuckylady717]

12/28/21.....Hi Joy, can you use butter instead of the white shortening you used ? APPROX, how many do you get out of a batch ? I just watched your Choc. P. B. Bars too...so many recipes online, but honest yours seem to be the best.....Youngest GD is wanting these....and says she will help....she is good rolling the balls....she just helped her Mom make several different kinds of candy......

[@joyofbaking]

This recipe makes about 40 Buckeyes. Yes you could use butter instead of shortening.

wonderful tutorial i am def going to try this recipe cause i have a chocolate fixation and to top it off peanut butter yummmmmmmmmmmy its definitely goin down in my kitchen in a couple of minutes wayyyyyy easy to do nothing hard about it just following the directions step by step how can u go wrong with this

[@checkcard1982]

If you don't melt your peanut butter that far down , you wouldn't need that !much powdered sugar. ☺

[@seashellytag]

Yes, there are much better buckeye recipes than this available.

[@sewforlife5728]

I was going to say that. Room temp butter is fine. Get your hands in there and mix it up or if u have a stand mixer put the paddle on and let it do the work.

[@abbeysomethingnormal7830]

Freezing causes them to sweat and makes dipping the chocolate messy, you get a thicker more uneven shell and not as attractive.

If you leave the peanut butter and butter at room temperature you don’t need as much sugar (which I prefer). Can also replace some of the sugar with milk powder. Could use honey instead. Can also blend in crushed graham crackers.
