I know these as Mud Balls! We add crunchy pb and rice crispies! They are my favorite cookie. I just finished off the last one from Christmas this past weekend. I am super sad that they are gone.

Call them what you want, but these are Candy Buckeyes! Please don’t insult Ohioans with bon bons.

I made these for a fantasy football party that my husband was hosting last sunday night. Fourteen grown men couldn’t finish them off! They’ve been calling my name ever since, and unfortunately i’ve been answering the call…
We like to poke lollipop sticks into them after they go on the tray. Less messy to eat, fun to look at and everything tastes better on a stick, right?

Thank you for the recipe. My daughter is away at college and lets me know when its time for a bon-bon fix!!! This has become her favorite.

I want lots of these. Nice photos too. I make my own vanilla extract and it is way better than store bought. I get bourbon vanilla beans from an online called Juliet Mae Spices. I chop them up and soak in bourbon whiskey for a few months and yum.

Buckeyes have been my favorite treats since childhood. In my family, we always add Rice Crispies and sometimes use crunchy peanut butter for a fabulous texture. The only downside of the additional crunch is that you can’t just scoop out the dough with your handy-dandy tool–Rice Crispies mean much more work in the rolling stage, but TOTALLY worth it.

Just something to try the next time you lose all self-control! Thanks for all the great cooking ideas.

I know the feeling…I’ve done that with countless baked goods that I kept around. So now I bake, eat one or two, and then send the rest to work with my husband immediately. Everyone wins, I get to bake and taste a bit, and his work loves me for baking for them all the time.

Erin, I’m a little late to this deliciousness, and I’m quite sure there are none left. Couldn’t you make another batch…just a little one?

I know these as Buckeyes, too, and was taught to make them by a native Ohio girl. As you’ve noted, they’re good enough to almost never make again. Great job!
