Answer 1

BUCKEYE BALLS

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Blend peanut butter, sugar, butter, and vanilla. (Dough will look dry).
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
Poke a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until hard (1/2 hour).
Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler (use very low heat, not much hotter than tap water or the chocolate will get grainy. This will take awhile).

Buckeye Candy
Becky Barker writes romance novels and went to college at Ohio State University, where buckeyes are a passion. OSU's football team is called the Buckeyes; Brutus Buckeye is the official mascot; and buckeye candy is Ohio's almost-official state confection. Becky generously shared her recipe for buckeye candy, which tastes exactly like a Reese's peanut butter cup. But the look is all buckeye: round and dark brown with a tan center. These candies are reminiscent of both a male deer's eye and the Ohio buckeye nut, which is named after the deer. Nomenclature aside, these chocolate-covered peanut butter balls don't last long, so make the full recipe. Clear out a little freezer or fridge space so they can chill. Becky uses a mix of semisweet and milk chocolate in her buckeyes, but I like pure bittersweet chocolate. Choose whatever chocolate you like best.
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 jar (18 ounces) creamy peanut butter, about 2 cups
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (chips or broken-up bar)
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
Before You Go: Up to 1 week before, cut butter into pieces and put in a large-ish microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until just melted, about 1 minute. Mix in sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until blended. Roll into 1-inch balls between your palms and put in single layer on large cookie sheets lined with wax paper or coated with cooking spray. Chill until firm, about 20 minutes in freezer or 2 hours in refrigerator.

Put chocolate and vegetable shortening in medium microwave-safe bowl (make sure bowl is completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing up). Microwave on medium in 1-minute increments until chocolate is just melted enough to stir smooth, about 3 minutes total. Stop and stir every minute to avoid overcooking.

Insert a toothpick into center of a firm peanut butter ball and dip partway into melted chocolate, leaving about a 1/2-inch "eye" of peanut butter visible at top. Spin toothpick to release excess chocolate then return coated ball to cookie sheet and slide out toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls and chocolate, re-melting chocolate and re-freezing balls as necessary. (If you're good with your hands, use both hands and dip two balls at once.)

Chill until firm, about 30 minutes in freezer or 2 hours in refrigerator. Use a knife tip to smooth tops and cover toothpick holes. Transfer to airtight container (between layers of wax paper if necessary) and chill up to 1 week in refrigerator or cooler or up to 1 month in freezer.

When You Get There: Serve chilled.

Makes about 60 buckeyes.

Neighborly Tips: For a creamier-tasting, less chocolately coating, use 6 ounces of milk chocolate and 6 ounces and semisweet chocolate. For a more pure chocolate hit, use 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate. For the middle ground, use all semisweet chocolate.

If you have kids, get them to help dip the buckeyes. That could speed things up considerably, depending on your kids.

Buckeye Candy Recipe (Otherwise known as "Buckeyes")
1 lb. bag confectioners sugar
2/3 lb. jar creamy peanut butter
2 stick soft butter
16 oz. bag of chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. paraffine
1 wood toothpick
Directions:
Blend together confectioners sugar, peanut butter and butter. Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Freeze for about 5 minutes or until firm. Melt chocolate and paraffine in a double boiler. Insert toothpick in ball and partially dip into chocolate and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes about 4 dozen delicious Buckeye Candies.

What is a buckeye?
A buckeye is an inedible nut which resembles the eye of a deer (or buck); thus called "buck eye". This nut develops on trees naturally grown and common in the state of Ohio. The scientific name is "Aesculus glabra" but the tree is widely known simply as the "Ohio Buckeye". It is a small, round tree. In average it grows approximately 20-30 feet in height and width. In the spring, the tree blooms yellowish flower clusters. They are typically the first trees to leaf out in the spring.
Ohio Buckeye has a dense oval to round form, branching quite low. Each leaf is compounded with 5-7 leaflets that are 4-5 inches long. Foliage is medium to dark green and may develop yellow or orange fall color.
Fruit is a glossy brown nut enclosed in a thick husk.

Why are buckeye trees found in Ohio?
The answer is in the soil and climate. Ohio Buckeyes can survive in a broad range of soil and climatic conditions. However, it performs best in moist, well drained soil. In full sun or in partial shade. Ohio's climate has perfect conditions for these trees to grow.
In any climate, they are susceptibe to leaf scorch. This problem results in browning of the leaf margins beginning in mid summer. By late summer to early fall, the trees look unsightly and are often partially defoliated. At this time, the buckeye nuts naturally fall to the ground.

More "Buckeye" Facts:
The Ohio Buckeye is the state tree of Ohio.
Ohio's nickname is the Buckeye State.
A Buckeye is also the nickname of an Ohio resident.
A Buckeye also represents a student at Ohio State University. OSU's main campus is in Columbus which is the capital of Ohio; many buckeye trees grow on campus.
A Buckeye is a good luck charm.
A Buckeye is also a legendary protector against arthritis when carried in one's pocket.
Finally...
A Buckeye is a traditional piece of candy made to resemble the nut. (Basically, they are peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate.) Since we can't eat the real nuts, Ohioans have created their own.
