I have used my supply of chocolate chips but have come across a recipe for buckeyes--peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. I have a package of chocolate almond bark. Can I use that for dipping the peanut butter balls or will I have problems with doing that?

I don't see why you couldn't. Let us know.

I have seen one recipe that mentions adding a bit of paraffin if using chocolate chips as it gives the chocolate a bit of coating "power" and a sheen. But I don't know if this would help with the bark. Maybe make it too slick to stick??

bark is perfect for dipping, and normally works better than using chips. I like to use both the dark and white bark for coating candies.

I have used melted bark for coating pretzels so I think it would work with peanut butter balls as well. Let us know how it works out.

It will work fine, I often use the bark instead of chips. Both have a wax in them so they work the same.

I use the bark all the time on my buckeyes.

We used to always use almond bark to dip our almonds and pretzels....both the white and the chocolate bark. Worked great. We also realized using the slow cooker to melt the chocolate was the way to go instead of using a double boiler on the stove. Why didn't we think of that years ago?

I do it all the time and won’t go back! It’s so much easier....
