guys! Am I the only one who has never heard of horse chestnut? ? Glad my sister introduced them to me, because they are my new favorite! When I saw this simple horse chestnut recipe on the Baking Day menu, I didn’t know what they were. I quickly realized how sad my life would be without these delicious melt-in-mouth peanut butter and chocolate snacks.
What is horse chestnut? These delicious snacks get their name because they resemble the nuts of the Ohio state tree, Ohio horse chestnut. Therefore, this dessert is particularly popular in Ohio.
They are very similar to peanut butter balls, except that they are not completely covered in chocolate, only some peanut butter is left. Some people think of horse chestnut candies, while others think of them as biscuits! No matter how you sort them, these peanut butter chocolate snacks will not disappoint you.

chocolate. Just before removing from the refrigerator, melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan at the lowest temperature. Stir frequently until smooth.
dip. Using a toothpick, dip each frozen peanut butter ball in the chocolate, leaving a small portion of peanut butter on top. Put it on the cookie sheet and remove the toothpick. You can smooth the hole left by the toothpick with your fingertips.
chill. Refrigerate until edible, then be careful not to swallow all these little things, because they are delicious!
Why do you use so much powdered sugar? The recipe does require 6 cups of powdered sugar. This may seem like a lot, but it does help keep the peanut butter balls intact and not chipped. So be sure to use all 6 cups of delicious powdered sugar!
