How do you make Buckeye Balls?..You put them in a bowl and beat them for 3 hours.
Okay, fine, that joke is almost 5 years old. However, this afternoon the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida Gators will meet for the second time in five years at the Gator Bowl. This time, I am not so sure the Gators will pull a 41-14 win, especially with our former coach pulling for the other side this time around.
All pigskin rivalry aside, here is the recipe for delicious Buckeye cookies…

Buckeyes | No Bake Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chip
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners’ sugar. The dough will look dry.
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball {to be used later as the handle for dipping} and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler {or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water}. Stir frequently until smooth.
Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick.
Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, swap the butter for plant-based/vegan butter and use vegan chocolate chips!
Yum! They look great!
These look delicious! And go Gators!I do love Florida, but I especially love any team who's going to beat Ohio State 😉
For some reason I've never made Buckeyes- saving this recipe to try!
Yum! I love buckeyes! And I am so glad the Gators won! xoxo.
