My grandma told me, if you make peanut butter cookies or candies, always use JIF. If your eating a PB and J then use Peter Pan. I have made PB cookies with both and she is right. JIF gives it a better peanut flavor. I don’t know why but it does. Great video! I love Buckeye’s, I haven’t made them in years.
Love these! They are my favorite! I grew up in Ohio and a lot of people made these. Thanks for posting this recipe! Merry Christmas to you and Chris! God bless! ❤
There are lots of recipes for buckeyes out there. I'm from Ohio, we only use semi sweet chocolate with a bit of shortening to make them shiny like the real nut. It's all about your taste. I personally don't like milk chocolate at all. Keep up the good cooking Tammy!
Tip only if you have a processor that is capable of high speed and if you’re stuck with having no icing sugar then all you need to do is get white sugar ( granulated sugar) put a cup or however much you need put it in the processor put the lid on and put it on high speed and you will be able to make icing sugar you will need to leave it on for a minute or two and bam 💥 icing sugar
I haven’t made these Or Reese’s peanut butter cups in years. I love them both so thanks for reminding me of what I’ve been missing… I hope you and Chris had a wonderful Christmas. And to me Jif is the only peanut butter.They mimic a buckeye nut that’s on a buckeye tree. Dark brown with that light brown circle at the top. Look up buckeye trees & nuts.
Hey Tammy I’m going to ask you a non food question about does it snow ⛄️ where you live? Aussie gal is in the kitchen talking with Tammy and Chris about stuff lol 😂
I just use generic peanut butter such as Great Value brand, the sugar, butter and vanilla enhances the peanut butter anyway. Groceries are outrageous right now, and making cookies and candy for christmas gifts can get expensive.
Tip if you’re using a water bath to melt chocolate or to make a sauce cooking a steam pudding or just steaming something my grandmother used this method to ensure that you’re water in the saucepan doesn’t evaporate away and all you need to do is pop a coin in the saucepan and you will hear a rattle coming from the simmering water and when it’s quite you need more water
Hi Tammy! Holiday blessings and Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄 Would love to see how you decorated your dining table and the dishes you used.🤗
Hi Tammy! The real reason you leave the top exposed without chocolate is because that's how the buckeye nut looks 👍😊. I'm from Ohio so that's something I know for sure!😂 The buckeye is our state mascot nut!👍 Merry Christmas to you, Chris and your beautiful daughters!🎄💞
I’m grew up in Ohio also and every grandmother in the state used to make these for the winter holidays. I make them myself now but you rarely find folks today that have ever heard of them unless they are from Ohio. I was over at some friends the other night and I asked them if they had ever had buckeyes and they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about, granted, they are about 25 -almost 30 years younger than me but it’s sad that they’ve been missing out all these years. I tried explaining how to make them but I’m extremely excited to see this recipe pop up cause I already forwarded it to them and hopefully they’ll try making them for their children. The only thing I would do slightly different tho is I like the peanut butter hole on top to be a bit smaller and actually more of a round shape, not the shape of a cat eye. The shape and size varies slightly from nut to nut on an actual Buckeye but for the most part, they are more round than the oval she presents here but the good thing about it tho is the fact that they are gonna be delicious either shape you make!! I do like my chocolate a bit thicker sometimes also so sometimes after I’ve gone through and dipped the entire batch, I’ll go through and dip them again. If I have plenty of time, I’ll take a paring knife and trim off the large chocolate Bell bottom on the bottom and let the shavings remelt in the double boiler and I’ll stick the tray back in the freezer for another 30-45, maybe 60 minutes to firm up well and then send them back through the chocolate swimming pool. This haunts me in most aspects of life unfortunately, but there’s nothing I can do about it, lol, I’m a perfectionist and I have found that by trimming the bottom Bell, refreezing again, then dipping for the second time, the chocolate seems to set a bit quicker and if you give it a little twirl & spin after it’s quick swim in the chocolate pool, you will have the nearly perfect Buckeye that God gives us each fall when you walk through the woods. But like I said earlier, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way she did them here and both ways will be delicious and it’s just personal preference. I am just a Buckeye through and through so I strive to get them to look as close to what God gives us from the tree. Like I said, being a perfectionist actually haunts me when trying to make something like this but it’s still fun and brings back memories I wish were still real and not just memories now, but that’s life I spose. It brings back the memories of a simpler time, an easier life we once had but didn’t know at the time, and memories of the loved ones we cherished dearly, but never told them enough! Thank you Tammy ofor sharing this recipe so I can now share with others that just thought I’m crazy for loving a worthless nut from the woods!! Merry Christmas to all of you that read this long comment
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TAMMY, CHRIS, and FAMILY! 🎄 🎅 WISHING YOUR HEARTS BE FILLED WITH JOY AND HAPPINESS, AND THAT SPECIAL GLOW THAT ONLY THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR CAN BRING ON THIS HOLY NIGHT! 🌟🌠
thank you ,merry Christmas Tammy and Chris,i have been making these since the 90s.i got the recipe from a family circle magazine,this year i splurged and got a 5 lb bag of white merkins wafer chips i sprinkle them while chocolate is wet,i have 3 gift bags in my fridge for my son and sisters,
I don't know alot about them, and I'm not sure many native Floridians even know what these are. However, my grandma always had a couple of them in her purse for good luck (not the candy, but the actual buckeyes - lol).
I use two forks in dipping, one I use to lower the candy in the chocolate and then use the side fork of second to tap the candy fork on causing the extra chocolate to fall off. Then u won't have the big pool of chocolate on the bottom of ur candy. Works everytime. I use the back of of a teaspoon back rock it over the hole it closes it. I have been making candy over 50 years now. It's alot of work but fun.
Lovvve it! And I can make them keto friendly using sugar free peanut butter, chocolate chips and a sugar substitute powdered. I am happy! Thank you Tammy. HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS 🙏 🎄🎁⛄🎄🎁⛄
These are simple to make! I Have made these for many years for my Children, Grandchilren and Family n Friends! So good! Enjoy! 🎄🎁🍭🎄🎁🍭MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄🎁🍭🎄🎁🍭🎄🎁🍭
😊 Good Morning , Tammy And Chris . Thanks for sharing . Your recipe for buckeye candy. I have never ate this candy . Can't wait to try it. 🎄Merry Christmas. ⛄Tammy , Chris And Family .
I get it! Male deer eye... Buckeye Love how you throw in tidbit odds and ends. I've been making equal parts pb+ps= best easiest peanut butter ever but with your added ingredients it will be much richer and yummier. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Uumm, yes and no. The “State Tree of Ohio”, is the Buckeye Tree. Now… the Native Americans called “Colonel Ebenezer Sprout”, (the founder of the city of Marietta), “Hetuck”, due to his tall, strong, stature. “Hetuck”, in their language meant, “eye of the buck deer”, or “Big Buckeye”. Col. Sprout, claims to be the first person to cut down a “Buckeye Tree”. Thus, due to this unofficial legend of Col. Sprout’s association with the “tree” and his nickname “Buckeye”, the name of this unknown tree was created. The “nut” of a buckeye tree, resembles an “eye” from a “buck”. It is inedible to people, unless it has gone through a specific series of “preparations”. The leave’s odor, when crushed, is terrible and reminiscent of the smell of skunk; thus further rendering it unappealing to eat. However, it is a beautiful flowering tree, and the nut, being very distinctive and strong in nature, was, and still is, often used for carving into trinkets to buy/sell. It wasn’t officially named Ohio’s “State Tree”, until 1953.
Same recipe my Granny used too Tammy. One thing different is she rolled it a little bit different like the shape of an acorn 🌰
My grandma told me, if you make peanut butter cookies or candies, always use JIF. If your eating a PB and J then use Peter Pan. I have made PB cookies with both and she is right. JIF gives it a better peanut flavor. I don’t know why but it does. Great video! I love Buckeye’s, I haven’t made them in years.
I MELT THE BUTTER AND ADD RICE KRISPIES TO THE MIXTURETHEN ROLL THEM.I ALSO USE ELECTRIC FRYING PAN.
If you make a chocolate ganache and roll it into small marble sized balls, and the freeze those balls you can put one in the center of the buckeyes.
Ohio state fans will love this
For sure! GO BUCKEYES! 👍😂
Buckeyes are very popular over the state line in Louisville, KY. I love buckeyes at Christmastime.
From Ohio….these are fabulous!🥰
Wow I have never had one of these before ❤❤❤❤❤❤I'll be making some next year for Christmas gift boxes ❤❤❤
I made them today for the first time and they were a big hit. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thank you Miss Tammy. We love you guys and wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Love these! They are my favorite! I grew up in Ohio and a lot of people made these. Thanks for posting this recipe! Merry Christmas to you and Chris! God bless! ❤
Yummy Ms Tammy 😋. May you and Mr. Chris and family have a wonderful Merry Christmas 🎄.

As the saying goes all good things come to those who wait lol
Big fan of JIF. If you want added crunch, consider a cereal with a Cap'n on the front, crush and add.
Tip only if you have a processor that is capable of high speed and if you’re stuck with having no icing sugar then all you need to do is get white sugar ( granulated sugar) put a cup or however much you need put it in the processor put the lid on and put it on high speed and you will be able to make icing sugar you will need to leave it on for a minute or two and bam 💥 icing sugar
Yum! Merry Christmas Nichols family. God bless
You’re reminding me of Redhead matches it’s the red t shirt and the white snoopy Santa
I haven’t made these Or Reese’s peanut butter cups in years. I love them both so thanks for reminding me of what I’ve been missing… I hope you and Chris had a wonderful Christmas. And to me Jif is the only peanut butter.They mimic a buckeye nut that’s on a buckeye tree. Dark brown with that light brown circle at the top. Look up buckeye trees & nuts.
I use 1 1/2 C peanut butter and 3 C of powdered sugar in mine, more peanut flavor, and less sugar taste.
Thank you for all your delicious recipes. Merry Christmas from Cape Cod🎄🎁
They look so good Tammy!!

Hey Tammy I’m going to ask you a non food question about does it snow ⛄️ where you live? Aussie gal is in the kitchen talking with Tammy and Chris about stuff lol 😂
Very very rarely

Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year! As always ks.
These look wonderful. Thank you for sharing
Everything in America is BIG
Fun fact! 🎉 buckeyes are to resemble the buckeye nut, not the eyeball of a buck lol!
Happy Holidays!! 👏👏❤️👏👏

Thank you for explaining that. I thought the buck in buck eye meant the eye of a male deer. 😂 Ya' learn somethin' new everyday!
That’s right. You make them that way to look like the nut.
What kind of chocolate do you us? Milk chocolate or semi sweet
I like milk
I have used crunchy peanut butter and maple syrup and they were delicious 😋. I like the original recipe but I wanted to make it interesting.
I’ve been eating these my whole life. We even had them on our lunch trays in elementary school. Better than Reese cups!!
This Peanut Butter Buckeyes recipe looks so delicious 😋Ms. Tammy.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TAMMY, CHRIS, and FAMILY! 🎄 🎅
