Bloodshot Buckeyes
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Pinch salt
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 24 ounces white melting wafers
- 2 cups eyeball candies
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter and salt to combine.
- Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and combine until smooth.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to make thirty-five 1 1/2-inch portions, then use your hands to roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a heat-proof bowl set over but not touching simmering water, melt the white melting wafers over medium heat.
- Once the peanut butter balls are firm, dunk them in the melted wafers to coat completely.
- Use a fork to lift from the bottom, let the excess coating drip off and set back on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place an eyeball in the center of the ball and repeat the process with the remaining balls.
- Let sit until the white coating is set, about 15 minutes.
