Ingredients
36 servings
| ½ | cup SKIPPY® Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread |
| ¾ | cup butter, softened and divided |
| 2 | cups powdered sugar |
| 1 | cup semisweet chocolate chips |
| Assorted sprinkles as desired |
Directions
Line baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
In medium bowl, combine peanut butter spread and 1/2 cup butter; beat together until blended. Gradually stir in powdered sugar.
On cutting board or flat surface, knead peanut butter spread mixture until smooth. Shape mixture into 36 (3/4-inch) balls. Arrange balls on baking sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.
With two forks, dip balls into chocolate, covering two-thirds of each ball and leaving one side exposed to resemble buckeyes. Return to baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles if using. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
