5 tbsp butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Roll into small balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze for 20–30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
Dip each ball into chocolate using a toothpick, leaving a small circle on top if you want the classic “buckeye” look.
Refrigerate until set.
