Description

An simple yet delicious treat to make and give to someone you love! Similar to the popular Buckeye Candy, minus the butter.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound White Chocolate
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1-½ cup Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream

Preparation

Note: I happen to have a silicone “pan” with 24 squares in it, which I use when making this. In the past I just used a 9×9 baking pan.

Line your pan with parchment or waxed paper, leaving an overhang. (You can also use foil, however you will need to spray it with cooking spray.)

Melt the white chocolate in your microwave for about a minute; stir until the chocolate is melted and creamy. Add in the peanut butter and stir until blended and smooth. Spread the mixture into your pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until a bit firm.

In a saucepan, combine your chocolate chips and your cream and heat over medium high heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Pour/smooth over the peanut butter mixture.

Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Later, lift out the candy and cut into small squares.

Feel free to “bedazzle” these for Valentines or any holiday. I made some with sprinkles, glitter gel, candies and silver dragees. Put some parchment paper in a pretty box, type up the recipe on a cute card and there you have it—a gift better than store-bought to give.

You can also cut this into shapes with a quality small cookie cutter.

OK, but did not have much peanut butter flavor.

Wonderful! They set up perfectly and are stable at room temperature. How’s that for easy? And so delicious, it really is like smooth fudge. I’m keeping this recipe handy for sure. Thanks a million.

I made this and took it in to work today and everybody was raving over it. I’ve already passed along the recipe to a few other people. Thanks for the idea. It was DELICIOUS!!
