A buckeye is NOT named after the eye of the deer(buck). It is named after the actual Buckeye tree. The Buckeye Candy resembles the Buckeye nut, hence the name Buckeye. :) I'm an Ohio Buckeye myself and I think all other Ohioans would say the same thing!

Instead of covering the toothpick hole with your finger, you can drip a small drop of chocolate over it, giving it a target look.

I've made these for years and given them as Christmas gifts, EVERYONE loves them. My son and DL and I get together one day before Christmas and do all of our making and baking. It's gotten to be a Christmas tradition.
