There is a Buckeye tree. It produces nuts that I don't think can be eaten. My Grandmother always had a buckeye nut in her handbag. She said if you keep one there you will always have money!

In Michigan, a Buckeye* is a useless nut.
There's also some kind of tree or something with a fruit or something called a buckeye, or whatever.

In Michigan a buckeye is a homemade candy.
Peanut butter and conf. sugar, shaped like a small meatball
with your hands, dipped in warm liquidy chocolate with a toothpick, so the choc. does not totally cover the ball(about 3/4 around) so it looks like and eye.
After cooling on a wire rack, remove toothpick and plate.
