Crunchy Kahlua Buckeyes With Sea Salt
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1/2 cups Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- FOR THE COATING:
- 4 ounces, weight Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cups Kahlua (coffee Liqueur)
- 1 Tablespoon Milk
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- Combine the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, confectioners' sugar and salt in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Use a small scoop or your hands to form balls and place them on a dish that you've lined with parchment paper.
- Insert a toothpick into each ball to make them easier to dip in the chocolate. Place the formed candies in the freezer to harden while you make the coating.
- Place the chocolate chips and butter in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. Add the Kahlua liqueur and stir. At this point, the chocolate may seize up a little. If so, add the tablespoon of milk and continue stirring until it's smoothed out again. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and, gripping by the toothpick, dip each one about 3/4 of the way into the chocolate. Place them back on the parchment paper, sprinkle on a bit of sea salt and refrigerate for about an hour for the chocolate to set up.
- Serve them with or without the toothpicks.
- Note: I used a 1 ounce-size scoop and got about a dozen candies.
