INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 pound Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is well blended Shape the mixture into 1-inch (3 cm) balls. Set them aside.
Pour 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot inner pot and press the Sauté button to heat up the water. Place 11/2 cups (5o g) of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl that is slightly wider than the opening of the Instant Pot. The bowl should sit on top of the Instant Pot opening, not in the pot.
When the water starts to simmer, set the bowl on top of the Instant Pot opening (you will not be using the lid for this recipe). The chocolate will gradually begin to melt. As the chocolate melts, whisk the mixture to combine the melted chocolate.
As soon as the chocolate melts, press the Cancel button to turn off the sauté function. Carefully remove the bowl, making sure to avoid any excess steam that comes out from under the bowl. Place the bowl on a heatproof surface and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup (5o g) of the chocolate chips until they melt, then add the cayenne pepper and blend well. If needed, return the bowl to the top of the Instant Pot and press the Sauté button to heat the water in order to melt any remaining unmelted chocolate.
Use a toothpick to pick up each peanut butter ball and dip it halfway into the chocolate. As you lift the ball out of the chocolate, let the excess drain back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. Store the Buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator and package them for gifts.
NOTES
TIP: insert the toothpicks at a slight angle to prevent the the peanut butter balls from slipping off during process. As soon as you place the dipped balls onto the cookie sheet to Cool, remove the toothpicks
