Inspired by caseball's earlier recipe for peanut butter cups, here are my ABV peanut butter cannabuckeyes especially for 4/20!
Buckeyes usually consist of a ball of sweetened peanut butter filling with the bottom half only dipped in chocolate using a toothpick. It is the easiest way to dip candy and Mr. Herbgirl thinks they look like boobs because of the toothpick hole in the top. nice, because, like candy and ABV, boobs are AWESOME. anyway...
This is best acting edible i have ever made but i was too busy to take pix this time - as I am now in the process of starting my own custom occasion cake business (my bipolar working for ME!), in addition to managing a family and admin-ing the other family business. YIKES! But I just had to take the time to share this with you fine FC folks because these are - by leaps and bounds - the best tasting ABV edibles I have made.

I won't do the usual full hardware/software rundown thing, i'm sure you can figure out when you need a bowl or a spoon (hehe i said bowl), but i will mention other stuff.

Cookie sheet
Aluminum foil
Cooking spray
Double boiler setup
Kitchen scale (not needed but helpful for getting accurate dosing)

~ 1 Cup of semi sweet chocolate chips - i would have used decent chocolate if i had some but all i had was some generic semisweet - they were a little stiff to work with, but they did the trick and i didn't bother to temper it.
1 Cup natural peanut butter - the type you have to refrigerate and stir i used organic crunchy - the crunchy seems to cover up the slight grittyness from the ABV.
1/2 C Powdered Sugar
1/2 t salt of your choice. I used sel gris sea salt, but kosher or iodized will work too
24 grams finely powdered ABV
2T Butter melted, i used salted because that was all I had thawed. i only used butter when i realized that the previous ingredients just didn't have the liquid required to form properly. Butter seemed to fit this bill, but it isn't strictly needed unless the mix is too dry. It worked like a charm.
you could also add some (1/2 t) vanilla extract - i think i did either that or i left the bottle on the counter after the banana walnut muffins. couldn't hurt as vanilla tends to make flavors POP!
OK, so this is my easiest recipe yet - not baking so not SO exact - ready?
gently melt chocolate in double boiler and keep it at a low temperature.
mix all the remaining ingredients together and stir (or just get your hands in there!) to combine thoroughly into a rollable consistency.
roll in balls, freeze till firm (a few minutes? long enough to share a few Zephyr bags lol) on aluminum foil covered, cooking spray prepared pans.
remove from the freezer and reshape balls if needed.
put a toothpick into one of the balls to pick it up then gently dip and swirl into and out of the chocolate, coating about 2/3 of the bottom of the ball, leaving the top bare with just a little hole in the middle. repeat for however many you have/want. I wanted each candy to be 1 gram of ABV, so each Peanut Butter ball was weighed out to 17 grams at rolling due to some math that is still fuzzy to me. I ended up with 24 candies.
replace on prepared foil and freeze until firm.
they will look like this crappy picture when they are done. see the nipple (buttery nipple lol)? boobs indeed
package and enjoy!
I'm not sure if these need to be kept cold, but because of the butter, I'm going to err on the side of caution and say keep them fridged or freezered. If you find the dough to be too tight or dry or loose you could use butter or more powdered sugar to correct that.
I made it so three is the perfect dose for me. It hits pretty quickly and has a strong sedative effect. These will be good for those days where *i just can't slow down* bipolar brakes, if you will.
HAPPY 420 FC!

Another great recipe, herbgirl, I'll have to try this one for sure!
Yeah....you are hell on a diet herbgirl! Great recipe. Thanks.
I've gotten good at hiding flavors from myself too - i really do not like most veggies, so purees are the way to go lol.
