We made these treats in my high school Family and Consumer Science class (Home Ec.). You should probably also know that in 7th grade Tech Ed (Wood Tech) Emily Warman and I built a tiny wooden bridge that held more weight than Travis Hulbert's. No big deal.
Back to these treats. I'm pretty sure these weren't on our curriculum, but Keri Hart brought them in one day and our teacher said we could make them. I saved the original recipe and used it to make these today. They aren't technically buckeyes because the entire ball is covered in chocolate, but you get the point.
This recipes makes about 40. It's very easy to half if you don't want so many.
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter, softened
2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 cups peanut butter
3 cups Gluten Free Rice Krispies
12 ounce bag of semi-sweet or dark chocolate (depending on your preference)
Directions:
1) In a large bowl combine the butter, confectioner's sugar, peanut butter, and Rice Krispies. It's easiest to use your hands for this.
2) Form into tight one inch balls.
3) Melt chocolate using a double broiler or in the microwave. Using a fork or spoon, coat the peanut butter balls in chocolate and place on wax paper. Refrigerate to harden.
That's it. No baking required. Enjoy!
