This was my absolute favorite treat in High School. This recipe beats any "buckeye" in my opinion. Note: the icing makes twice as much as needed, so double the peanut butter part or halve the icing.
1 pound peanut butter
2/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup flour
2/3 cup dry milk
1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Shape into balls (I use a 2 T. cookie scoop) and refrigerate. Drizzle with warm chocolate frosting.
Chocolate Frosting
1/3 cup soft butter
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. milk
Mix butter and chocolate. Blend in sugar. Stir in vanilla and milk. Beat until frosting is smooth. I put this into a freezer bag and clip the corner off and pipe it on top of the peanut butter balls in a squiggly line.
