Buckeyes

You have to be from Ohio to know what this is, the State College in Ohio is the Buckeyes.....I believe a buckeye is a nut.  Well popular treats in Ohio are peanut butter balls rolled in chocolate which are called....yep, you got it.....Buckeyes!

I had never made them before so we attempted who can go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter?  They were super good, our test grandma agreed (a sweet old lady who adopted us and we take sweets to her to test out.....not going to lie she always tells us it is good).

Buckeye story of the week....My dad made these when we were living in Cali and my oldest daughter was about three years old.  He got tired of making the balls so they kept getting bigger and bigger.  He joked around saying they were REINDEER BALLS! So a few days later we went to the mall and they had a merry go round.  My daughter picked out a deer to sit on and while riding it yelled with glee.....REINDEER BALLS!!!!
