At Christmas my uncle always puts together a calendar with family photos. Also at Christmas, he makes tasty goodies for everyone. My favorite, most-beloved, will-not-share goodie is his chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. I have asked before to be given nothing but these. They are fabulous.
I got the e-mail request for us to send in our picture for the calendar. Apparently I was the first to respond because in a second plea for pictures my uncle announced that I was first and would get an extra bag of tasty treats. Of course, I asked for those extra treats to be peanut butter balls.
So when my holiday tasty treats arrived, what did I find? In addition to the usual cookies, fudge and peanut butter balls, there was one giant peanut butter ball!
Check out how thick the chocolate was! Yummy!
Later in life (like 4 years ago) I realized that peanut butter balls are generally referred to as buckeyes? Or maybe it's just a northern Kentucky/Ohio thing. But why break a 22-year-old habit of saying "peanut butter balls"?

It's so funny b/c as you were describing them, I was thinking "Does she mean Buckeyes?" Ha. There is a bakery at home that does strawberry buckeyes that puts just a hint of fresh strawberry preserve in the center. Fabulous. There is a reason their slogan is "the most sinful thing you can do with your clothes on". :)
That is a wonderful slogan!
