Have you ever heard of Peanut Butter Buckeyes?

Yes, hehe, I live on Ohio, so they are quite the thing around here. I like them a lot, though people only tend to make them around Christmas. I have seen them for sale in stores though, I took a couple of packages to a potluck and they were quite the hit. I didn't have any to bring home (not that i would have minded... ).

I don't think I have tried them before. It sounds interesting. I'm sure my wife would like to try such a treat. The pictures and recipe I found seem nice and simple. I like the ones where the take the trouble to cover the toothpick hole. One pictures shows a small heart shape perhaps made of hard candy or a fruit rollup. That looks like an endearing touch. In wonder if the heart was being used to cover the toothpick hole. Anyway, you might also try a toffee-buckeye by crushing up some of your homemade toffee and mixing it with the peanut butter. I don't know how well it would come out in practice, but in theory it seems interesting.

I used to help my mom make them for weddings and special occasions. They're so yummy. They're my brother's favorite sweet. I remember they were always a big hit, especially with the kids, and would always be the first sweet to disappear.

I have made them....as for looking like buckeyes I had never thought of that and my recipe isn't called Peanut butter buckeyes...but they sound like the same thing. They are very very good! Like a Reeses peanut butte cup!

I have had heard of them and I have had them. They are delicous. They are alot like the haomemade reeses peanut butter cups you can make. I tend to not make things like that becasue I would probably eat them all. Since you are good at making candy it shouldnt be a problem for you to make them.

Yup! I make them every now and then for parties or family/friends who really like them. They're very tasty and much, much better (depending on how you make them, I guess) than Reese's Peanut Butter cups, which seems to be their closest commercial 'cousin'. Have fun making your buckeyes!

I have never heard of them before. The picture looks really cool though and I think the boys would love them. We do make home made reese peanut butter cups here which the kids like but can only handle in very small doses. This looks pretty similar to that. I would like to try them out too. Make sure the boys don't get sore tummies though. LOL

I have never heard of them. They sound delicious. Which means they are fattening. Probably means I'd eat too many. lol Let me know if you find a recipe you like.
