I’ve never had a food processor so not sure what the first thing would be to make in it….but I’m thinking hummus…
What a great event! Jen and Kim rock! We have a coach whose wife always makes these for us for Christmas. I look forward to that gift every year. These are too decadent!
They look relatively simple to make at home. I can see them becoming a hit here. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never had a buckeye, but how can I resist these?
Happy day #1!
Peanut butter covered with chocolate? I don’t even have to think twice. Yes, please! Do you give them away by the dozen? 🙂
Oh, these would not be safe in my presence!!! I used to make them when there was paraffin in the dipping chocolate…looks like I need to make them again with YOUR recipe 🙂
yayyy buckeyes! I’m an Ohio native so I’m all about em!
My sister made these every single Christmas growing up – they’re her “things” – and I’ve NEVER made them! We live 1500 miles away now so I guess I need to whip some up occasionally to fill the void 🙂
If I make a batch of these I will probably hide them so I can eat them all myself! I am a total peanut butter freak! I must have these! 🙂
I love buckeyes, they are so yummy good. Yours look seriously sinful.
Thanks so much for joining us this week. It’s a pleasure to have you.
These are always a favorite in our house! They look awesome!
I need to make these for my husband who grew up on Buckeye Lake in Ohio…they look awesome!
Love, love, LOVE Buckeyes!! Classic!
I’m always up for a good buckeye. These look delish!
What a great, yummy recipe, I will make it for my Christmas Party. Thanks
Great recipe! My family would go CRAZY for these!
This recipe looks delicious I will have to try it soon!
Can’t go wrong with the classic buckeyes for Christmas!
