For those who don't know it, a Buckeye is actaully a nut. These chocolate covered peanut butter balls actually look like the buckeye nut and for years Amy's mom has been making these for every Ohio State Buckeye game. One year they even traded these for beers while tailgating! Oh, and Ducks fans, you'll like these too- they are always a winner at cookie swaps- so go ahead and make a batch to enjoy in the privacy of your own home. We won't tell...
