Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Additional Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 Tbsp confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp sweetened smooth peanut butter
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz dark chocolate

instructions

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla, bourbon and salt. Mix together with the paddle attachment until smooth, approximately 1 minute. Fold in Rice Krispies.
  • Portion out the peanut butter mixture into 1 Tbsp balls. Roll the balls into circles with your palms. Add to the lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Before the balls are done chilling, melt the chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in 15 second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted.
  • Coat the buckeyes to your liking, whether covering them completely, dipping to coat 3/4 of each, or drizzling chocolate on top.
  • Once finished coating the buckeyes, add them to the refrigerator until the chocolate is set, approximately 30 minutes.
