This buckeye peanut butter balls recipe by Mel Lockcuff on YouTube is an easy dessert recipe to make for the holidays. It’s a great addition to add to an assortment tray or cookie tin for gifting. I think adding a few of these gives a nice variety to the batch of sweets. They’re super rich so it’s easy to be satisfied with a couple of these in one sitting. This is a no-bake recipe that makes holiday baking quick and easy. If you like chocolate peanut butter, these are the perfect desserts with only 4 ingredients. I love the idea of sticking the toothpicks into each ball because it makes it easier to dip them in chocolate.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
Directions:
First, in a small mixing bowl, mix up the first 3 ingredients. Then, take the peanut butter mixture and roll it into the shape of a ball, and place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

Next, add toothpicks to each ball to make it easier for dipping. Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour, and melt the chocolate according to package directions. Once the peanut butter balls are finished chilling, dip them into the melted chocolate. Continue to watch Mel Lockcuff tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.
