A Worthless NUT!

College football is now here folks! It really doesn't matter if you are a Falcon, Eagle, Bulldog, Lion, or any other kind of animal, it is college football time. Growing up in Ohio, I can remember every fall when football season started there was a favorite treat served at every Saturday game party. Peanut Butter Buckeyes. Yes, I have heard all the stories about how a buckeye is a worthless nut, but, a peanut butter buckeye is different. All the right flavors to bring back memories of fall in Ohio. Soon, even fall in Ohio will be a memory. But Peanut Butter Buckeyes will remain a constant rich chocolate peanut buttery treat! Here is my recipe for the favorite, not so worthless, buckeye.
