I adore chocolate peanut butter balls. I mean ADORE them. (aka “Buckeyes”).
As a kid, I never knew the name “Buckeye.” I simply just devoured Mom’s peanut butter balls at Christmas time – the ONE time of year she made this treat. (I like to think she made the no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies just for me 😀 – and I’m pretty sure I’m right).

We’ve said it many, many times before, there is NOTHING on earth like the marriage of chocolate and peanut butter.

And, now we have it – in a vegan, gluten-free form!

Enjoy!!
