Buckeye candy

Buckeyes are confections made from a peanut butter fudge partially dipped in chocolate to leave a circle of peanut butter visible. Buckeyes are similar to peanut butter balls (or peanut-butter-filled chocolate balls), which are completely covered in chocolate. While similar to the more widely known Reese's cup, the buckeye has a higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate and a smoother texture due to the use of powdered sugar to make the peanut butter into a fudge. Buckeye candies are also often stored in the fridge or freezer giving a snap to the chocolate coating. Named for their resemblance to the poisonous nut of the Ohio buckeye tree, the state tree of Ohio, this candy is particularly popular in Ohio and neighboring states. It is common for Ohioans to make buckeyes at home, but they are also available in mail-order catalogs and candy shops.
