Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter Buckeyes

Here is another great recipe I made using Oregon made Wild Friends Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter.  I used my traditional Peanut Butter Buckeye recipes and gave it a Fresh From Oregon twist.  I transformed their Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter into melt in your mouth little bits of heaven.  Buckeyes are a peanut butter confection crafted to look like the fruit of the Buckeye tree.  In my family these were always in tins at Christmas and on trays at weddings on the cookie table, that’s another blog.

2 cups Wild Friends Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter
5 cups confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup butter, room temperature
Chocolate wafers
2 cups pretzels, crushed

In the bowl of a stand mixer combine peanut butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla and butter.  Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.  Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.   Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water.  Using a toothpick dip peanut butter ball half way and then roll in the crushed pretzels.  Place on foil lined baking sheet until the chocolate is set.  Store in airtight containers.
