There's been a substantial number of Midwestern treats coming out of our kitchens this holiday season (see: uber-nostalgic Muddy Buddies and St. Louis-inspired Gooey Butter Cake Cookies), and no one is happier about it than me. It only seems fitting to add to the collection with these best-ever buckeyes, which hail from my home state of Ohio.
Just like a bowl of Cincinnati chili or a pint of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, buckeyes are one of Ohio's best (and most popular) culinary contributions. The chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls are named after Ohio's official state tree, and are designed to look like the nuts that grow on them. (The shape and color of the nuts resemble a deer's eye, hence the name buckeye). But you don't have to travel to the Midwest to get your fix. Buckeye candies are incredibly easy to make at home — and you certainly don't have to be from Ohio to do so.
