I had to admit that my Buckeyes are not true Buckeyes. You see, the hubby is just not a lover of peanut butter and chocolate together (yeah, he's one of those people). He loves peanut butter, and he loves chocolate, but together, he's just not a fan. I actually considered not making these for a minute, since I didn't want to end up eating all of these myself....and then I remembered.....
I had a jar of Biscoff spread in the pantry!! You know what Biscoffs taste like right? Kind of a combination of gingersnaps and a cinnamon graham cracker......super delicious! It pretty much has the same consistency as peanut butter....why not give it a try?
You know what? They're pretty darn yummy! You definitely get that delicious Biscoff taste coming through....and it tastes delicious with the chocolate coating.
I think the trickiest part of these is dipping them in the chocolate and leaving a part of the inside exposed. I'm so used to making cakeballs and truffles, that I wouldn't even be thinking and start coating the whole thing. Oops!
Give these a try for a holiday party....the recipe will make a ton of them! I did a 1/2 recipe, and still ended up with about 30 of them!
Go to Club: Baked to check out the other baker's results.....and check out Karen's Cookies Cakes and More for the recipe......and Enjoy!

What's Biscoff? Your biscoff-buckeyes look great! Thanks for making these with me this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and your candy looks beautiful. Nice job Kirsten.
ReplyDeleteI just bought some Biscoff, but I haven't used it yet(except to taste it of course~Yum!) What a great idea to use it for the buckeyes!They look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of doing this biscoff! The flavor has to be yummy!
ReplyDeleteKirsten,
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, yes, these were less sweet than the ones I used to make. I was thinking it might be the graham crackers, if that's possible. I love them too! They are slightly addicting!
Genius idea with the biscoff! I love the cookies but have never used actual biscoff. Hopefully your Hubby approved? I went the easy route and coated the whole candy. Your biscoff buckeyes look great!
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic. I have never made these. I will be this year! Come visit. We have a terrific mulled cider, legacy cookbook and a book review today.
ReplyDeleteYour candies look awesome! Love your photo, too.
ReplyDeleteYour buckeyes looks really great!\
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful idea, and I love it
Found your link on the Bacon Time linky party, these look so delicious! Not gonna lie, I only recently found out what a buckeye was when a friend from Ohio had his mother send him a huge box to share!
ReplyDeleteYour Buckeyes look awesome! My very best wishes to you and your family for a blessed Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you again real soon!
