Buckeye Eyeballs

More About This Recipe

• PB, vanilla chocolate and candy-coated chocolate pieces add up to one irresistible buckeye peeper!
  
  Oh yah, they're Buckeye Eyeballs, so you can get your Halloween on. But these buckeyes are so much more!
  
  Wanna make some? Here's how!
  
  Ingredient line-up! Just look at those beeee-autiful basic ingredients awaiting your makeover. Peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla-flavored candy coating and colorful candies. You'll also need butta. It's like butter, but you say it betta. Butta.
  
  Pop the peanut butter into a large bowl with the powdered sugar. Knead it up, baby! You knead a good, thick dough. You knead a good, boozy drink. You knead to stop reading this ridiculous play on words. I mean, for reals...
  
  Take about 2 teaspoons of your peanut buttery dough and roll it into peanut buttery balls. Pop in your fridge to firm it all up a bit.
  
  Now grab a toothpick or sucker stick. Gently press into the center of your peanut butter ball (heretofore called your buckeyeball), then dip it into melted candy melt. You can try to use white chocolate chips, but they can be notably finicky. So, just go easy, save yourself from all the fancy frou frou stuff and buy candy melt for dipping.
  
  Now dab a teensy bit of melted candy melt right over the top of the little toothpick hole on your buckeyeball (remember back when we called it a peanut butter ball? Yeah, we evolve like wildcats over here.) Press a candy-coated chocolate on top of the buckeyeball. Booyeah.
  
  Beware! When you put these on a plate, you may get the odd sensation that you're being watched!
