Turn a favorite tedious holiday candy into a delicious Peanut Butter Buckeye Dip, that you can enjoy anytime you want without all the work!
If you are from Ohio or went to Ohio State, you probably have a love for buckeyes (the nut, candy and mascot!) that no one will ever top! To the rest of us, buckeyes are merely chocolate peanut butter candies that are super delicious but fairly labor intensive to actually make!
There is all the rolling, dipping and then waiting for them to set. They are certainly worth the work but sometimes you want all the flavor of the buckeye so much faster. Well, I am here to give you your buckeye fix in a simple to make Peanut Butter Buckeye Dip.
This sweet cream cheese dip is a total crowd pleaser so it is perfect for parties or even to have as a dessert at home. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is perfect and you can find all kinds of things to dip in it like graham crackers or even pretzels if you want a little saltiness to go along with the sweet.
I have made it with sunflower butter too for a nut free option and it was just as delicious. So, as long as you make sure the other ingredients you choose are nut free, you can totally make this for school party desserts too!
What are some of your favorite desserts and sweet dips? I love just about any kind of treat with peanut butter in it!

This looks really delicious. My boys were asking for a yummy dip for their birthday party, I might make this one!
Thanks! The dip is really good and so easy to make!
My hubby is from Ohio, and I am sure that this dip would make him super-happy. I am pinning and making it for him sometime.
Hope the dip turns out well! It is so easy to make and perfect for fans of buckeyes.

Haha…I am a total peanut butter fanatic too! Pretty much peanut butter and anything and I am in!
This sounds really yummy! You definitely can’t go wrong with peanut butter 🙂
One of my favorite dessert dips is key lime pie dip: diprecipecreations.com/key-lime-dip/
I just want to dig my spoon into these sweet dips…who needs dippers? LOL
We made a Funfetti dip last week and LOVED it, I can’t wait to try this one!
Oh, I love funfetti dip too. I tried a brownie batter dip recently that was pretty good too. I’m a chocolate with peanut butter fan though so this one is my favorite so far.
My calorie counter on my iPhone will not be happy with me when I make this dip. However, I am hosting a bridal shower in April that I think this would be a huge hit at! I am pinning this! Thanks.
Thanks for linking up to our Twirl and Take a Bow Party. Hope to see you again this Tuesday!
Haha…I know what you mean. I don’t think my waistline can handle this recipe too often but it is so delicious that I am willing to sacrifice to get it. This would be perfect for the bridal shower. I bet the ladies would love it!
