Peanut Butter Playdough . . . no Buckeyes!

I decided that Benjamin and I needed a project for the afternoon. I had thought about making peanut butter playdough, but then I decided if we went through the work to make it lets make something a bit more decadent. Buckeyes popped into my head. They are very similar to peanut butter playdough and then dipped in chocolate. We could still play with it like playdough and then roll it into balls. Here is the recipe that I used from allrecipes.com but I scaled it down to six servings. It was a great summer cooking project (no baking involved) and the perfect three year old project. Not as beautiful as the pictures on allrecipes but handmade with love. Wish others were here to enjoy them with us for dessert!

I LOVE Buckeyes. They are SO good...but I dated a Buckeye (named Benjamin, coincidentally) and it was a disaster and my friend dated a Buckeye and that was a disaster, so we're supposed to hate them and their peanut butter treats...but secretly...they're so delicious! :)
