Sunbutter “Buckeyes” (No-Bake + Nut-Free)
These Sunbutter buckeyes are a no-bake, nut-free twist on the classic peanut butter and chocolate candy balls. They’re creamy, not too sweet, and perfect for stashing in the freezer during the holidays.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
- 1 tsp neutral oil like avocado or sunflower
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix Sunbutter, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Stir in powdered sugar until a dough forms — it should be soft but not sticky.
- Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes if too soft.
- Roll into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 20 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips with oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each ball halfway in chocolate and return to the tray.
- Chill until set. Store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze longer.
Notes
These Sunbutter buckeyes are a nut-free version of the classic peanut butter and chocolate buckeye candies. They’re creamy, not too sweet, and totally nut-free. I often make a double batch every December and freeze half. Store the finished buckeyes in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
