A buckeye is a nut. A poisonous nut to be exact. So probably you would want to eat them. BUT when recreated as a peanut butter and chocolate treat they are equally as deadly... I made some this weekend for the Ohio State v Michigan game, and people at work had no doubt who they were rooting for on game day. I was pretty popular for about a half hour!! Ha!
Here's the recipe...
2 cups peanut butter
5 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
2 sticks butter
12 oz chocolate chips
1/2 bar paraffin wax
toothpicks
wax paper
Mix together sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Let the mixture chill, and form into balls. Then mix paraffin and chocolate chips in a double boiler. Dip the peanut butter balls in chocolate and let sit on the wax paper. Put them in the fridge for a few hours, and ta-da! You will have instant popularity in your workplace or tailgate party!!!
Isn't Brutus adorable? Nothing scarier than a poisonous nut-head!

Ha! Oh, Brutus - the irony! A friendly nut that's poisonous. Kind of like Lou Dobbs.
