Yummy Treat Alert: Peanut Butter Chocolate Buckeyes!
Do you love peanut butter and chocolate? Then you're going to love buckeyes!
What Are Buckeyes?
Buckeyes are a sweet treat made with peanut butter and chocolate. They look like the nut from the buckeye tree, which is round and brown with a light spot—just like this candy!
What’s Inside?
Buckeyes are made with creamy peanut butter, a little butter, and powdered sugar. That gets mixed together to make a soft, yummy dough. Then we roll the dough into small balls.
The Chocolate Dip
After the balls are made, we dip them in melted chocolate. But here’s the fun part—we don’t dip them all the way! We leave a little bit of peanut butter showing at the top. That’s what makes them look like real buckeyes!
So Delicious!
Buckeyes are sweet, soft, and a little bit crunchy from the chocolate. If you love peanut butter cups, you’ll definitely love buckeyes.
When Do People Eat Buckeyes?
People eat buckeyes all year long, but they’re super popular during holidays and football season—especially in Ohio, where the buckeye is the state tree!
Want to Try One?
You don’t have to wait until a holiday to enjoy this treat. You can buy them or even try making them at home with an adult. Just be careful with the melted chocolate—it's hot!
Final Bite
Peanut butter chocolate buckeyes are fun to eat, easy to love, and always delicious. They might just become your new favorite treat!
