In case you’ve never had buckeyes before, they’re a classic no-bake treat made with balls of sugary peanut butter fudge dipped in chocolate (a bit like Peanut Butter Balls!). A circle of peanut butter is left uncovered, which makes buckeyes look a bit like the nuts from an Ohio buckeye tree, named after the eye of a deer!
