Buckeye Balls 

I found this video when I was in highschool and have made them every holiday season since. I’m 24 now and every year I look forward to coming back to this video and making them alongside her. 💚

Sara is the kind of person you would love to have as a neighbor.

This is what RU-vid should be. I just love this so much more than overproduced nonsense.

I never knew what a buckeye ball was and so I clicked. I'm having a really depressing day and I can't say how sweet this made me feel. hearing you talk about how much you care for your neighbors and loved ones and then christmas music.... how much I needed this. I think this covid just got me depressed. I miss my friends and hanging out. I'm tired of being alone. thanks for being you.

She does have a large fan base and her cooking is out of this world. It is how I learn different dishes by watching her shows. She can really cook.

I know this videos is old ( I’m bindge watching all of them ) but I LOVE how we can see how much of a caring kind person you are. The part where you said you never know who’s going to stop by and you didn’t want them to leave without a present made me tear up bcus it just shows how caring you are ! I wish you nothing but the best !

Sara, I'm dealing with serious health issues and I want you to know your videos bring me such comfort while I do battle with my body. Thank you.

This is one of my absolute favorite Simply Sara episodes. You are so beautiful. I love your peppermint apron. Sara, you are a national treasure. I imagine you as a little girl intently watching your Mamaw cook. I know you make her proud. ☁️🤍

does anyone else want to meet her cause she's so sweet

I just adore you! I've terrible anxiety and often times I find myself searching for videos that won't send me into an anxiety attack.....you are delightful Sara! You didn't know it but you helped me to go to the store today :) I haven't been out in a loooong time

Sara is such a sweet person. Her personality always puts a smile on my face. The world is a brighter place with people like Sara in it. Thank you for making your videos for all of us. :)

Such a sweet child I am so glad she went to RU-vid to share her brightness w/ the world

I’m watching this in September and now I can’t wait till Christmas! I love how she wants to be prepared for visitors who come over “don’t want to leave them out”... what a sweetheart!!! Please write a recipe book!

This girl, her recipe and the music has me ready for Christmas again and it's only March!

“Alright, we’re back and I’ve been a’ dippin’ “ Simply Sara is such a beautiful soul! ❤️❤️❤️

Sara, you are the the neighbor I wish I had! Just an absolute delight and pure joy. Happiest Holidays to you and yours!!

WOW! FIVE YEARS AGO, and it is STILL a great video. I like your 'supervisor', sitting there making sure IT'S DONE RIGHT... LOL! What is cat's name, please. Hope cat is still with you. I ALWAYS love to see the family cat(s) included somewhere; helps me feel a bit better regarding my loss of Winston, my 'fur-kid' of just about 18 years. I lost him April 17, 2017. Any who, I like how your cat is keeping an eye on things. ALWAYS trust the cat. THEY KNOW_ what, exactly, we aren't sure of. But HEY!; they'll tell you what ever is needed doing. RIGHT CAT FOLKS? hee hee hee I think you are a beautiful woman, doing a wonderful thing for we who need teaching about cooking. Thank you.

This lady is awesome 👌

So incredibly happy that you make content. In a crazy and often unhappy world I know I can always come to your channel and feel welcome. Bless you ma'am!

The homey Christmas aesthetic I love it. The cute little kitchen, the Christmas tree in the corner, your apron. I’m looking up new recipes this year for my baking this Christmas. Thank you for this video!

I love your way of teaching. you are so peaceful and sweet. who could not learn from you.

Buckeyes are one of my favorite treats at the Holidays.

Oh, my gosh! You have become our friend, Sara! Everything you've said just made me feel like a kid again! You're so sweet! 💗

I absolutely adore how you always say "If you want to" and "however you like it". You have really inspired me to start cooking. I wish I could come by your place for dinner, everything you make looks scrumptious!! 💜

Sara, I found your channel the other day and I love your videos so much! There’s something really cozy and calming about your demeanor and it makes me feel happy. You seem like such a wonderful person! Sending love from Italy

I just love your videos. I was watching this on my phone this morning when I was at physical therapy. My therapist asked about it. I said I was going to make Buckeye Balls. We live in hunting country so he looked at me with a confused look and said "You're going to make a treat called Buck Eyeballs? " LOL

Sara has a sweet southern ,comforting voice.

Can't help but love this girl. 💜 she makes me feel like I can cook anything 😄

Your personality is so wonderful(: these look delicious!

My grandmother uses crunchy peanut butter and rice crispies in her recipe, love it!!!

Wow... 40 years ago my sister and I would make tons of these around the holidays and put them in tins to give away. Thanks for sharing your talent of cooking skills and bringing back wonderful memories.

Beautiful Miss Sara! I can't wait to show to my husband. He is a buckeye connoisseur, having been raised in Fairborn Ohio by a beautiful cook my precious MIL. We buried her last week. He judges all buckeyes by hers which were amazing. You should sell these I paid like $40 for some I ordered from Etsy for his last birthday and guess what? He didn't like them. We have a buckeye tree here in Alabama. Go bucks even though we live in roll tide roll country. Husband graduates from THE OSU! God bless you!

such a sweet peaceful soul. bless you sara!❤🍪😘

Girl, I hear ya! I grew up rolling those and date balls every Christmas. I still do today! Homemade presents are the best!! :)

I would love to meet her she's adorable keep up the good work

Honestly her recipes are great,and I'm sure its always delish,and of course she is a sweetheart. The thing I love most though is how everyone is respectful, positive, and how wonderful people feel watching her. Its a beautiful thing.

This women is truly a gem! Her videos are perfection! Keep being amazing!

My granmother used to make these. So special to me because of the memories...God bless you in Jesus name, babydoll.

Thank you so much! You are such a nice lady! Just adorable and love how you think about others❤️

I know this video is 6 years old, but classics like this are never outdated! I appreciate this video, I love your kitty and you seem like an incredibly kind soul! Thank you so much for all your instructional videos! 😊🎄

She is the sweetest thing ever. Plus I love the way she explains everything she is doing.

I could watch your stuff all day! Thanks so much!

Just saw her video and I’m so impressed with her genuine sweetness! What an adorable woman💖

If there were more Sara’s in this world, the world would be a better place. Thank you Sara for your channel and sharing your sweetness with us.♥️

Put me down for your recipe book when it's published! Your recipes are wonderful!

What a sweetheart you are, I think also you would be a good friend ♡

I love the kitty watching everything, too! 💜

I know I watched this before but I just have to say We Love all of your videos. Please keep them coming. You are My favorite

Just thought I'd let you know that you're currently my favorite recipe youtuber lol. I just showed my husband your videos and he really enjoyed them as well! We try to keep sweets out of our house but you give me such great ideas for when we really want something sweet. I love your 2-3 recipe deserts and can't wait to try the pumpkin cake one this fall. We are living in Spain ( military) right now so these little tastes from America really bring back memories.

The cat cohost is precious

She seems like a genuinely sweet person we need to protect. I love her so much.

"I been a dippin".....she's so adorable.

ha! i have the same double boiler- LOL i'm an experienced cook and i also like to watch cooking videos and you are one of the most talented, down to earth cooks i have ever seen. thank you sara, for your videos and for sharing your sweet spirit with all of us! ;-)

I really enjoy yours videos. I just wanted to say how much you’ve helped me deal with my mental disabilities. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, your cooking tutorials are very relaxing and help me to calm down.

I just love this lady 😭😭😭 so sweet. I tried the corndog recipe and everyone loved it!

I like when she says alright we're back and I've been a dipping

You’re such a nice person, honestly it’s refreshing.

I'm wanting to make these for my grandma this year at Christmas time. Looks delicious my dear, bless you! Love your channel

I absolutely love her!!! I just love her attitude!! Super friendly!!! Love her!! Keep up the great work!!!

It is April 2020, and here I am making Buckeye Balls! Love you Sara. Your newest and adoring fan from Canada! ❤🇨🇦

I know this is old but I just want to say how much I enjoyed watching this. You are so sweet and caring and you made my day so much better. You have such a kind demeanor and I loved how you mentioned the true meaning of Christmas(even though right now it's June of 2021 haha). We need more videos like this on RU-vid. Bless you hun!

You are a very good teacher! Thank you so much for sharing this! :)

I don’t even cook and I’ve never even tried one of your recipes yet I just watch your channel because you’re so nice and I feel comforted just listening to you

Being a Buckeye myself, I've made these at Christmastime for about the last 45 years or so. It is quite the tradition in our household! However, I've never added coconut oil, I will give that a try this year. Glad I found your video!

I love the way the cat is sat watching and waiting

Reminds me of back home. Always seen these but never knew how. Im def gonna make these for Ramadan.

I just want to say that I come back to this video every year to make peanut butter balls for my family get together! You are so sweet and such a joy to watch! Happy Holidays ❤️

I love how easy going you are. So sweet.

You make all this seem within reach. I have never been good in the kitchen. I have lived off a Foreman grill lol. I feel like I can make this and it looks delicious. Thank you for the videos. 🙏🙌

Been binge watching your videos and subscribed. Now I've got a notebook and taking down all these great receipes. Love the cat too and your down home approach to showing us these receipes. Thanks.

Vanilla is a natural addition. This is another recipe I have to try. I also agree that moulded balls look too store-bought. The beauty of hand-made candy is its imperfections that show that love has gone into the making. ❤️

You look so young here it’s 2023 I’m still watching your videos I go back to the old ones from time to time to find recipes I’ve missed

I seriously want to be her friend. Super sweet!! Such a positive video.

I just want to come cook and hang out with you and make yummy stuff! Keep the videos coming!

You put so much love and joy into your videos. It always lifts my spirits watching them. You just seem like such a kind, caring person. Love your videos! I'm from Ohio, so you see this treat at every Christmas event.

2013? I only found you in 2020. You look so young here. Amazing. You are an experienced cook that's for sure. Thanks for hanging in there

That lil' kitty helper is so cute

Omg the sweet little kitty watching you make these is adorable!!! ❤❤

Ive used this recipe for years now. I love them, my family loves them - thank you for this recipe 🙏💕

I made these a few years ago but after seeing this video I think I'll make them again this year. Thanks Sarah for reminding me

Love your Sous chef-kitty keeping an eye on what's momma is cooking ❤️

You’re so cute and cathartic in these videos! Like, maybe everything is actually going to be okay:P thanks, Sara!

You are so wise to use your hand to mix the ingredients! I've tried a stand mixer, huge mistake! You just showed me the light! Thank you for this video!

Sara thank so much for sharing your recipe. You are so delightful and make me feel happy!

I love her so much. She looms like the sweetest person in the world. So glad I found your channel. I am so making this tomorrow! Keep up the great work and videos 💖💖💖💖💖

4:49 Alright! We've rolled and rolled and rolled !! :) That took me out. She's so sweet lol

Sister! You are precious! I love this! Thank you!

I just love this young lady. Her family is so lucky.

You are a GREAT cook and even better woman. I love watching the videos.

I just gotta say it. You are a sweetheart.

I dont even know you but you nrought back so many memories from my childhood. Thanks so much for the recipe

I had the white vintage kitchen cabinet like Sara's but with just one drawer..and if anyone recalls,that same style cabinet was in Aunt Bea's kitchen on the Andy Griffith show..oh the candy looks divine

"I'm fittin' to dip 'em" ❤️❤️❤️ I subscribed right then and there!

Kitty cat says "Where's Mine? lol...

I loved watching this 9 year old episode!

Girl, THANK YOU for this! I was born and raised in Indiana, now living in Arizona... and married to a nice Italian boy from Massachusetts... and I've tried to explain these to my friends and family for years! Now I know how to make them. I'm really enjoying your channel! xo

Chocolate and peanut butter, whats not to love about that. Looks wonderful Sara and TY for sharing.

I love your red toaster! So cute!

Hi Sarah.. I am making these for my daughter who just moved to Australia.. they have no idea what they are. LOL. never heard of them... but I'm finding recipes that look like they will travel well.. thank you so much for this great recipe!
