Buckeye Delights are a delightful combination of peanut butter and chocolate, coated in a rich chocolate ganache. They are a popular treat in the United States, especially in Ohio, where they are considered the state sweet. Buckeye Delights are named after the buckeye tree, which is native to Ohio and has nuts that resemble the shape of the candy.

This article provides two recipes for Buckeye Delights: a traditional version and a no-bake version. The traditional recipe involves making a peanut butter filling, dipping it in chocolate, and then coating it in a chocolate ganache. The no-bake version uses a combination of peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to create a filling that is then dipped in chocolate. Both recipes are relatively easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the buckeyes.
  • Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. This will help the ganache to be smooth and easy to work with.
  • Chill the ganache for at least 30 minutes before dipping the buckeyes. This will help the ganache to set and make it easier to work with.
  • If the ganache is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
  • If the ganache is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar to thicken it up.
  • Dip the buckeyes in the chocolate coating completely. This will help to prevent the ganache from leaking out.
  • Place the buckeyes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Store the buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
