Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Balls:
- 0.5 pound Unsalted Butter 227 grams // 2 sticks (Softened)
- 1 pound Peanut Butter 454 grams // 2.525 cups
- 1.5 pounds Powdered Erythritol 680 grams
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 18 ounces Sugar Free Chocolate 2 bags. I use Dark Chocolate, but you can use whichever type you prefer. I usually have an extra bag on hand in case I need a bit more for whatever reason or burn it the first time around.
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil Optional. Omit for Coconut Free. See Recipe Notes for instructions.
Instructions
To Make the Peanut Butter Balls:
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the softened 0.5 pound Unsalted Butter and 1 pound Peanut Butter until thoroughly combined. Add in 1.5 pounds Powdered Erythritol and beat until fully incorporated.0.5 pound Unsalted Butter, 1 pound Peanut Butter, 1.5 pounds Powdered Erythritol
- Roll the mixture into roughly 1.25-inch (½ ounce) balls. Place them in a container, separating the layers with sheets of wax paper. (You can make them bigger if you wish. You’ll just have slightly fewer balls.)
- Chill them in the freezer for 2 hours.
To Dip the Peanut Butter Balls:
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil (optional for easier clean-up) and wax paper.
- Melt 18 ounces Sugar Free Chocolate. If using the microwave, start with 30 seconds, then stir. Work in 10 second increments after this, stirring REALLY well after each melting. If the chocolate pieces still look solid, keep stirring. This typically takes 2 - 4 rounds. Don’t overheat. If you have an induction burner, set it to a low temp setting. I use 2.5 on a 10 level scale. Stir until melted. Reduce heat to 2.0.18 ounces Sugar Free Chocolate
- Using a toothpick, stab a slightly frozen peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate. Leave a circle of the peanut butter ball uncoated so that it looks like a buckeye.
- Move the coated peanut butter balls to the wax paper lined baking sheets. Allow the chocolate to set for at least 20 minutes. This will somewhat depend on the temperature of your room.
- Store the Keto Buckeyes in an airtight container in either the refrigerator or freezer. If freezing, just allow them to warm up for a few extra minutes before serving.

Notes
- Optional Addition of Coconut Oil
- You can optionally add about ¼ cup of Coconut Oil to the melting chocolate to help it stay hardened when sitting out on a cookie tray. Just stir until it is completely melted and integrated into the chocolate.
- You can skip this ingredient completely for coconut allergies.
