Ohio State Buckeyes

Keith's second favorite football team has a pretty fabulous tailgate treat: buckeye candy.  It tastes like a Reese's and looks like a nut.  This recipe is super easy.

Buckeyes

1 cup peanut butter smooth

5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar 

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate (can mix in some milk chocolate chips instead)

1 tbsp coconut oil


Beat together peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract.  Gradually add powdered sugar.  Make 1 inch balls and place on tray lined with foil.  Freeze tray for 1/2 hour.  While balls are in freezer, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, approximately 30 seconds, stir; 20 more seconds, stir; 15 seconds, stir.

Dip balls in chocolate mixture and return to tray.  Freeze another 30 minutes.  Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
