Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the peanut butter, butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add the sifted confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat on low until incorporated. Increase to medium-high and beat until fluffy and smooth, about 1 minute. Gently stir in the rice cereal with a rubber spatula. Scoop 2-teaspoon-sized mounds (11 to 12 grams each) and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until very firm but not frozen, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Let cool slightly for 2 minutes.
- Stick a toothpick into the top of a ball and dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Coat most of the ball in chocolate, leaving a small uncoated circle on top; let excess chocolate drip off. Return the ball to the baking sheet and remove the toothpick. Repeat with the remaining balls. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick if desired. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set and the peanut butter ball is very firm, at least 1 hour. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
BUCKEYES
Who doesn't love a confection inspired by nature? In this case, it's a peanut butter truffle dipped in chocolate, which resembles the nut from Ohio's state tree, the buckeye.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe medium bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
- Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick with an offset spatula. Serve at room temperature or well chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
