No oven but these peanut butter balls require just 5 ingredients in the filling. They are so simple to make that all you need are four easy-to-find ingredients and a decent sweet tooth. Although the kids can make these all by themselves. They might need a little bit of help on the dipping part, or things could get a bit messy.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make the mixture more or less dry.
- Make 1-inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
- Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier to work with.
- Remove balls from the freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top.
- Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow them to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Peanut Butter: It’s best to stick with no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for this recipe.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate: I used semi-sweet chocolate bars, but feel free to swap them out for white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even almond bark.
- Freezing instructions: Peanut butter balls will freeze well in a freezer bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
