Who doesn't love a confection inspired by nature? In this case, it's a peanut butter truffle dipped in chocolate, which resembles the nut from Ohio's state tree, the buckeye.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe medium bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
- Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick with an offset spatula. Serve at room temperature or well chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
FAMOUS OHIO BUCKEYES

Steps:
- 1. Cream together your first 3 ingredients. Then start adding your sugar a cup or two at a time. Now this will get really hard to mix and I usually grab my husband at this point to stir this together. But you want it to be sorta crumbly but still sticking together. So, you may use the whole pd. of sugar or not. Once you make them a few times you will get the right texture down. I have made these so many times I really don't measure to much. If you find it to dry add some more peanut butter.
- 2. Now, begin rolling into small balls about 1 inch in size and place on a cookie sheet with wax paper. Once you have them rolled push toothpicks down in center of each Buckeye. About 1/2 way or so. You will place these in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes or so just to get them cold. (Don't let them get too cold or else you will cause the chocolate to crack after they are dipped)
- 3. While they are chilling, melt down your candy chocolate. I have used 1 bag of milk and 1 bag of dark and mixed together. I have also added into milk chocolate a bag of Ghiradelli dark chocolate. WOW, is that good.
- 4. Now, once you start dipping the balls into the chocolate you want to go fast. Dip them about 2/3 of the way so that they look like Buckeyes. Now, sit them on another wax piece of paper.
- 5. Once dry remove the toothpicks and plate them. Use plastic gloves if possible so that you do not get finger prints on the chocolate.
- 6. At Christmas time I dip them in white chocolate too adn spinkle colored sugars on top or I drizzle green or red on top.
- 7. Melanie, made these for Valentine's day and for a bake sale for Smile Train. They are beautiful in the white chocolate and red sprinkles.
- 8. May 25th, 2014 --- Made these for my cousin Bridgette's Wedding this past Saturday on the 24th of May. I decided to put some bling on them and drizzle colors from her wedding bouquet. White, orange and pink to make them a little more festive.
- 9. May 25th, 2014 --- Here they are at the wedding on a festive tray.
BUCKEYES
These chocolate peanut butter balls (no bake!) are always popular at my church's annual Christmas fundraiser. They resemble chestnuts or buckeyes-hence the name. -Merry Kay Opitz, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

BUCKEYES I
This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.
