GUYS! Am I the only one who has never heard of Buckeyes?? So glad my sister introduced them to me because they are a new favorite!

When I saw these Easy Buckeyes on the menu for our baking day, I had no idea what they were. I quickly realized how sad my life has been without these delicious, melt in your mouth peanut butter and chocolate treats. To make things even better, they are crazy simple to make. All you need to do is mix the ingredients together, freeze, then dip in melted chocolate. Easy right? That’s why we named these Easy Buckeyes. If you’ve never had them before, you need to add them to your to do list. I know you won’t regret it!
