Buckeyes

Buckeyes are made by mixing peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together to form a dough. The dough is then rolled into balls and dipped in melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter visible on the top. They are a sweet and rich treat that is perfect for holidays and special occasions.
