Ohio Buckeye Balls

5 steps
Prep:30min
Ohio Buckeye Balls are a no-bake candy featuring a peanut butter center partially dipped in chocolate. They're like a homemade Reeses. This is my slightly healthier twist. They're a bit lower in added sugar, but still feature quite a bit from the chocolate chips and honey. For similar recipes, check out my No Bake Peanut Butter Bars and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!
