Instructions
Vegan Buckeyes
Use an electric hand-mixer to mix the softened vegan butter and peanut butter together. Then, add the powdered sugar and mix until completely combined. The peanut butter mixer should be stiff, like a cookie dough. If your peanut butter was very runny, you may need to add more powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency.
Place the mixing bowl into the refrigerator and chill the peanut butter mixer for about 30 minutes. Freezing will speed up the chilling process.
Once an hour has passed, microwave 2 cups of vegan chocolate chips + 2 tablespoon of vegan butter for 30 seconds. Be sure to use a microwave safe container. Carefully, remove the chocolate chips from the microwave, stir, and return to the microwave. Repeat this process until the chocolate has completely melted and is liquid.
Remove the peanut butter mixer from the fridge and use your hands to roll the peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls. Use a spoon or toothpick to dip them into the chocolate to make the buckeyes. Place the vegan buckeyes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the peanut butter is used.
Place the vegan buckeyes in the fridge to cool and set for at least 30 minutes and keep them there until ready to serve.
