Buckeye (candy)

Buckeyes are confections made from a peanut butter fudge partially dipped in chocolate to leave a circle of peanut butter visible. Buckeyes are similar to peanut butter balls, which are completely covered in chocolate. While similar to the more widely known Reese's cup, the buckeye has a higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate and a smoother texture due to the use of powdered sugar to make the peanut butter into a fudge. Buckeye candies are also often stored in the fridge or freezer giving a snap to the chocolate coating.
