Peanut Butter Balls without a White Streaked Chocolate Shell
Smooth, creamy peanut butter meets shiny, crisp chocolate in these classic Peanut Butter Balls. This no-bake recipe includes tips for tempering chocolate for professional-looking results at home.
Recipe:
Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese (full-fat, brick-style), softened (113g)
2 Tablespoons butter, softened (salted or unsalted butter will work here) (28g)
¾ cup creamy peanut butter (see note) (185g)
2 cups powdered sugar (250g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
12 oz quality dark or semisweet chocolate (I like to use couverture chocolate or finely chopped quality baking bars) (340g) (alternatively you may use dark chocolate melting wafers)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:30 Combine cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter and stir together (I like to use an electric mixer) until smooth, creamy, and completely combined.
01:14 Gradually stir in powdered sugar until completely combined, then stir in vanilla extract. Mixture should be very thick.
02:03 Scoop dough into Tablespoon-sized scoops and roll between your palms until you have a smooth ball (if the dough is sticky or difficult to work with, you may either add a bit more powdered sugar or transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes before rolling).
02:17 Transfer to wax paper lined baking sheet and repeat until you have scooped all of your dough. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
Chocolate (see note)
02:47 Place couverture chocolate or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 25 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir thoroughly (even though it will look like not much has happened).
03:51 Return chocolate to the microwave and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring thoroughly and scraping down the sides of the bowl each time until chocolate begins to melt. Once chocolate appears to be about 50% melted, start checking the temperature.
04:20 In order to properly temper chocolate (semisweet or dark chocolate in this instance), you must maintain a temperature above 87F (30C) but below 91F (33C). If you notice your chocolate has exceeded 87F but the chocolate still isn’t completely melted, just keep stirring it until the temperature has dropped or the remaining chocolate has melted).
04:49 Once your chocolate is in temper, remove your peanut butter balls from the refrigerator.
05:00 Dip the bottom of the peanut butter ball into the chocolate and then place on a candy fork (or just a regular fork, if you don’t have one!). Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over the entire peanut butter ball until it is entirely cloaked in chocolate, then carefully slide off of the fork onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Allow chocolate to re-solidify before enjoying, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Peanut Butter
I do not recommend using a “natural” variety of peanut butter (the kind where the oil separates to the top). Unfortunately this often results in greasy peanut butter balls.
Chocolate
I am providing instructions on how to properly temper your chocolate. This can be a bit tricky if you’ve done it before and takes some practice for perfect results, but the goal of this is to prevent the unattractive white streaks that often form if chocolate is simply melted without being tempered. If you aren’t worried about appearance you can simply skip this step and melt your chocolate in 25 second increments.
If following instructions for tempering, I do not recommend using chocolate chips.
If you are using chocolate melting wafers or almond bark, you can simply melt your chocolate according to the package instructions and dip without worrying about temperature.
Storing
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Peanut Butter Balls (Buckeyes) Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Peanut Butter Balls. Peanut Butter Balls are a perfect example of how something that tastes really good can also be easy to make. The best way to describe their flavor is to say they are like a homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. They have that same lovely coating of dark chocolate, with a smooth and creamy peanut butter filling that is almost fudge-like in texture.
