ALMOND BUTTER BUCKEYES
This buttery and nutty chocolate confection was inspired by the nuts that fall from Ohio's famous buckeye trees. Come holiday time, they are produced (and consumed) in mass quantities in "The Buckeye State," as well as in neighboring states throughout the Midwest. Note: You may substitute peanut or cashew butter for almond butter; omit almond extract if you use a substitution.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a food processor and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then process until it is a smooth paste, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and continue to process until combined. With the machine still running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons oil. Thin if desired with the remaining tablespoon oil.
Tips:
- Use creamy almond butter for a smooth and rich filling.
- Chill the almond butter mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls. This will help them hold their shape better.
- Roll the almond butter balls in cocoa powder immediately after dipping them in melted chocolate. This will help the chocolate stick and prevent it from smudging.
- Store the buckeyes in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Buckeyes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy almond butter filling and rich chocolate coating, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat to make, give these almond butter buckeyes a try. You won't be disappointed!
