buckeye cookies

Buckeyes are similar to peanut butter balls, which are completely covered in chocolate. Named for their resemblance to the nut of the Ohiobuckeye tree, the state tree of Ohio, this candy is particularly popular in Ohio and neighboring states.  One thing I know for sure is, they are hugely popular in Old Bridge, NJ! We all LOVE them in my house!!

The gooey peanut butter center in these cookies is to die for.  Making this a perfect cookie for any holiday party as it is a crowd pleaser.
