Delicious Buckeye Balls ### Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until well combined and a dough forms.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are rolled, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
Remove the peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the Buckeye Balls in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Once set, transfer them to an airtight container. Enjoy your homemade Buckeye Balls as a delicious treat anytime!

These Buckeye Balls are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or just a simple dessert after dinner. Their rich flavor and pleasing texture make them a favorite among kids and adults alike. Happy baking!
