I am not gay or nothing but I like to cook and make gourmet snacks. I come from the colony known as Ohio, which is called, the almost a palidrome state as well as the buckeye state. When the settlers came here they found a lot of horsechestnuts which they called "Buckeyes" since they look like the eye of a deer. Our State Uni sports team is called the Buckeyes although the way they have been playing lately I called them F..knuts, which is similar in a way. People make a snack that are called Buckeyes, because they look like buckeyes and Horsechestnuts do not have the same appeal. It is common to make these about Christmas time. Here's what you need to make 3 score buckeyes 1.5 cups peanut butter 6 cups confectionary sugar 1 cup butter (and that means real butter, that means don't be a jerk and substitute oleo, I go to the trouble of making this recipe you better follow it) 1/2 teaspoon that vanilla stuff 4 cups chocolate chips. Mix up the Peanut butter, sugar, butter and vanilla. It will make a dough roll the dough into little balls about the size of a ping pong ball or table tennis or whatever it is called in Britain. No, make them a little smaller than that. jab them with a toothpick and sit them on a wax paper covered cookie sheet or something along those lines. put them into the freezer until they get hard, about (40 minutes) Trust me, anything that takes 40 minutes to get hard ain't going in my mouth. Melt the chocolate in a pan on very low heat. Dip the balls into the chocolate but leave an uncovered space so they look like buckeyes, if you know what buckeyes look like it is easy. Chill them in the fridge and wait a couple hours to eat at them. Note. If you have dogs or children teach them not to eat real buckeyes since they are poisonous. I had this dog that used to like eating gummy candies, like worms and bea
