"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
¼ cup butter (softened to room temperature)
1 ¼ cups peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ cups crisped rice cereal
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate or candy coating

Directions:
Gather the ingredients.

Place the softened butter and the peanut butter in the bowl of a large mixer and beat until soft and well-combined.

Add the vanilla and the powdered sugar, and mix until all of the sugar is incorporated.

Scrape the bottom of the mixer, then add the crisped rice cereal. Either stir it in by hand or turn the mixer to low and mix until the cereal is just incorporated into the peanut butter.

Chill dough.

Use a candy scoop or small teaspoon to form the candy into small balls and roll them between your hands to make them round.

Place the balls on a foil-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them to firm up while you prepare the chocolate.

Place the chocolate or candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.

Once the chocolate is melted and completely smooth, dip the crunchy buckeyes into the chocolate.

Place the dipped candies on a foil-lined baking sheet and once they are all dipped, refrigerate them to set the chocolate, for about 15 minutes.
