For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored peanut butter, such as chocolate or maple. If the chocolate is too thick, add a little more shortening, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Store the finished Buckeye Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
