Buckeyes, also known as peanut butter balls. Buckeyes Peanut Butter Balls
For many, there’s no better combination than peanut butter and chocolate. So, today I have for you a recipe for buckeyes.
In case you’re wondering, they get their name from the nut of the buckeye tree in Ohio, which is a small, shiny dark brown nut with a light tan patch. Very much like what this amazing little treat looks like.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and you can’t go wrong with a batch of peanut butter and chocolate buckeyes nicely arranged on a plate for those you love.
