This recipe makes the best buckeyes I have ever had! And, I love the idea of using the chocolate bark. One word of warning though, it makes a lot more than the recipe states. I doubled the recipe hoping to get 4-6 dozen to give away as gifts. I used a 1T. scoop to make them and they turned out slightly larger than "nickel-sized." By the time I was done, I had made over 11 dozen and had enough PB mix left over to make a pie with. Also, if you put the toothpicks in before freezing, only take a few out at a time to dip in the chocolate. If they sit out very long the toothpicks start to loosen and the PB balls will come off in the chocolate.

This recipe rocks! If I bought these from a gourmet shop, I would not be disappointed. The flavor is absolutely perfect, and the filling comes together nicely. I ran out of powdered sugar and only added about 1 1/4 lb, but it didn't impact the finished product negatively. It yielded a sheet tray and a half. I had to use good-quality semi-sweet chips for the chocolate because I'm on a military base and didn't have access to bark, but next time I'll hunt some down to compare. The chocolate still worked, creating a goregous, glossy finish that firmed up and clung to the pb. They taste out of this world. However, I need to practice. It looks like my 3 year old did the dipping/spooning (I tried both methods and was clumsy at both). I can live with a sloppy looking first try as long as the flavor knocks your socks off, and this certainly does.

This is the same recipe someone gave me but I haven't made them yet. He didn't say to freeze, though, so now I wonder if that means the chocolate won't set. I've tasted lots and these really do have the best filling and NO wax.
