Easy Buckeyes Recipe

Buckeyes are like peanut butter balls that didn’t get all the way dipped in chocolate. They’re no bake, SUPER-EASY to make and ultra snackable. As an added bonus you can make them in advance and pull them out of the fridge at a moment’s notice.

Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven so who could resist a buckeye or two?? They taste like peanut butter cups with an emphasis on the peanut butter! Not too sweet, really creamy, no bake, and so satisfying.

I didn't know at the time I shot this video that it would be the last I'd shoot in this kitchen. We have wanted to live and raise our kids on a farm on the east coast for quite a while and when the chance presented itself we just said lets do it and do it now! I believe sometimes in life you just have to go for it and make the life you want to live happen. We lived in this house when we got married, when we had our kids, and when one day Brian said to me "Why don't you try making videos of your recipes?" Though I was a terrified deer in headlights, I'm so glad I gave it a go because thats how I got to meet all of you. I can't tell you how much I enjoy being in the kitchen with all of you week after week as we celebrate our love of good food. You see, I believe one of the best ways to show people you care is to go to the effort of making a lovely meal for them and I love being able to help you all do that for the people in your lives. So as we say goodbye to this kitchen, my heart is filled with so much gratitude for the opportunity it gave me and at the same time so much excitement for whats to come. ❤️John

Buckeyes are a nut-like seed from the Horse Chestnut or Buckeye Tree that look just like the candy but unlike your beautiful confection, are not edible. While I’ve heard of black eyed pease and buck eye beans, I’ve never heard of Buckeyed peas, and neither has google. Sorry if this reads as snarky, I totally don’t mean it to. Love that you shared your recipe for buckeyes and can’t wait to see the new kitchen!

Is anyone else embarrassed at how much they are crushing on this guy?? ; ) When I make one of his recipes, my husband will ask, "So did you get this recipe from your boyfriend??" Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if everyone we came across in life had this much warmth & positivity??

These are a staple here in the buckeye state; my husband can eat a whole batch in one sitting.

I used to make something close to this about 40 years ago. I used 2 sticks melted butter and I added 2 wax packs of finely crushed Graham crackers the other ingredients were about the same and the result was more like a Reeses pb cup. I used to show up at parties with them and I'd overhear others say "IT'S THEM"!!! I made them much smaller and would pop them into individual bon bon festive fluted paper cups and would present them in small gift boxes of about 20 pieces. It's been so long since i last made these but I do remember using candy makers wax in the coating to give them a gorgeous sheen. Yours looked so good as well!

I am a Buckeye from Ohio and we make these all the time. They are actually named after the nut, Buckeye’s!
They are especially popular during football season. Go Ohio State Buckeyes

6:57: Is no one going to comment on: "So my balls - (pause) - of peanut butter..."

[none]

When he said "so my balls" then looks at the camera and says "of peanut butter". He is human like the rest of us.

I'm from the buckeyes state and I make candy buckeyes every Christmas.. I use a small cookie scoop to measure out my peanut butter balls it makes it so much faster.

[scorpleeon]

I’d never heard of these until a friend gifted me some for Xmas. I loved them so and after a few years she moved away. Now I can make them!

[judi]

You can tell that he truly LOVES cooking that he enjoys the little mistakes and appreciates that tiny vanilla drop

[kdsberman]

I’ve never made a cookie a day in my life. I love Buckeyes. You did a great job explaining and made it easy for guys like me who are not good at making cookies. Mine turned out great using your recipe. Thank u!

[superflyguy]

My mom made these every year but called them peanut butter balls and they were dipped all the way without leaving an empty space. She made boatloads. I used to help her roll them out. My sister took over making them after my mom passed but now she quit making them so I'm doing them thus year. We don't have kids and I don't think my doggies would be good assistants. LOL Can't wait to try them!

[MissAstor]

I could see being Besties with you!! My best girlfriend was my friend Buzz who taught me a lot about things I didn't know about people, life and such that my parents kept me sheltered from the things they didn't understand. I love your videos and could see myself assisting you in the kitchen or showing you some of my favorite dishes that I've created. Much love and I'm a forever FAN!

[lxfchfo]

My grandsons love these, thank you Tracey from Austin Texas😍😍

[loriwillis]

I cant tell you how much I enjoy your videos. The way you explain everything. Your videos are a definite go to when i need help. I have a small home based baking business and I find myself always pushing myself out of my comfort zone lol. After watching your videos it inspires me that i can do it. Thank you

[mahouchell]

Watching this made me really happy! Every year around Christmas time, I would make buckeyes with my Oma. It was a huge family ordeal and we all got together once a year to do it. She's since passed away due to cancer, but my family still makes buckeyes every year in her honor. We love to share the recipe with others and share the buckeyes we make with our friends! While I know this isn't her recipe (obviously!) it's nice to see the recipe get shared! Hopefully this will inspire some family traditions as well! I love watching your videos, but this one is just special to me. Thanks for always working so hard and sharing yummy recipes with us! Good luck with the move as well! <3
