Fun fact: While the peanut butter treat is named after the tree nut, the tree nut is named after actual buck's eyes, cuz it's similar in shape and color
“I ended up getting probed… FOR FREE” 😂😂 Man you crack me up. As a straight man I would love to sit around and eat snacks with you… just don’t up me crack man.
I have a gay man in my life that I have the biggest friend crush on. I don’t want anything more than to just sit around and crack jokes with him. I just gotta warm him up to the idea of having friends.
I will never understand the straight need to ask gay people not to fuck them, even if that gay person is someone they have never even met. Like, my dude, do you sit down with your boss at work being like "haha yeah we're chatting but don't stir my insides please!"
These are one of my favorite treats for cookie/dessert tray at Christmas. I add a sprinkle each of red and green decorating sugar to the chocolate layer and call them "Reindeer Poo"! 😄
There was a lovely elderly lady in my mom's church who used to make these for me. She knew they were my favorites and was kind enough to supply me with them on the regular from when I was small. She had big "grandma" energy and I loved her a lot.
I once took a whole bunch of stuff out to her car for her and she asked me how she could repay me. Jokingly I said "Well I never get tired of Buckeyes" and the next church service she brought me a HUGE Tupperware full of Buckeyes. And when I say huge I mean HUGE. She didn't want the container back so I literally use it to put whole cut up watermelons in now.
You should go back to church, lots of sweet people there if you find a good church. You have mor luck with southern Baptist churches, us baptists love to eat xD
@@bonniemoon6790As someone who grew up getting dragged between Episcopal and Southern Baptists churches; with Baptists the risk is you might find the great community but end up eating over salted everything from those few sweet old folks who can’t taste it anymore, or the church that has speaking in tongues and brings out the venomous snakes. Always a gamble. 😂
I absolutely love your unhinged baking, it makes my day so much better and I watch the videos on repeat an unhealthy number of times to hear it all and take it all in. 😂❤😊
My dad was from Ohio and made these every year for holidays. Seeing these brought back a lot of good memories of helping him bake...well, okay, mostly helping him eat the buckeyes and cookies he'd make each November and December when I was a kid. Miss ya, Dad!
I don't think he's using eyeliner. I never even assumed he was, because he has similar eyelashes to myself(except his lower lashes are thinner than mine). But tbf everyone asks me what mascara I use and I have to sit there and tell them none. It's funny every time.
@@LycanFerret One of my daughters has the same good fortune as you. Luckily she's the one with 20/20 vision. I gave up on makeup and just choose nice glasses.
seems appropriate given ohio is the state that has spawned the most astronauts of all the US. the running joke is people just grow up wanting to get out of ohio so bad they're willing to try and leave the entire planet to do it.
Well done, Dylan! My aunt makes these for every gathering basically - they're great if you like peanut butter! You can do them with other nut butters too - I like to use nutella for chocolate versions and make inverted buckeyes!
With Armstrong and so many other founders of space exploration from my home state, we appreciate the appropriate costume. (Plus, it's Ohio. We're all kinda low-key prepared to outdo Florida Man to get chocolate and peanut butter.)
I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. Born in Ohio, moved out young but Buckeyes were a huge part of my childhood, my grandma would make them for us around Christmas time every year ❤
I’m from Ohio and my Buna (grandma) makes these for my every year for Christmas ever since I was little. They’re always the best and look forward to whenever I have them.
These are the best! They make our cookie tables at weddings and parties and are a hit at Christmas! My girls and I make them every year! Being from Northeast Ohio, I never knew they (and cookie tables and wedding soup) are not universal!😂 So glad you like our sweet treat!!💖
Northeastern Ohioan here as well and we make these every year! My mom puts a tiny bit of coffee in it, not sure why, and we always make them for Christmas!
As a native Ohioan who grew up eating these, I’m so happy to see you discovered them! Changing the semi-sweet chips for a darker chocolate improves them a lot, because you get a great contrast from the too-sweet centers; the result overall is wonderful. And I’m also happy to see a nod to Ohio’s history in aviation and in space, I like to think it helps balance the scales somewhat for Ohio’s pitiful record as a presidential birthplace, all VERY mediocre men, and such a lot of them!
@@Evergreen_Trees_are_cool well yes, there is that! But the Cuyahoga River is one of Ohio’s great success stories with the help of the Clean Water Act and the EPA. Both it and Lake Erie (considered effectively dead in the early 70’s) have made great comebacks and are clean and beautiful again!
I was just wondering why it had been a while since I'd seen your shorts pop up and now it's literally my childhood recipe, since my family is from Ohio. Glad it impressed!
@@shmerelize I like it better since you have a lot more control over the ingredients. It's similar but I think the chocolate is better balanced against the peanut butter in Buckeyes.
The other day I saw Dylan's book in a book store. You know when you watch a youtuber for a really long time they become like family? Dylan's book made me so happy and I felt as if my family member wrote a book
My mother would make these almost every Christmas. She always made goodie trays and handed them out to friends and family. Miss you Momma. Thanks for another great video!
You are a good person, I check in for the commentary, I've cooked since those days, and done some of the recipes - but his persona and commentary... Five stars.
I love buckeyes. Every New Year’s Eve my mother and two neighbors get together and make about 20 dozen or so and separate them to be frozen and last us all a while. 😂
THANK YOU DYLAN!!!!! my great grandma used to make these every year around xmas and she would send like 2 giant ziploc bags full of them home with us. i thought it was just her thing, and was worried the recipe died with her. I'm saving this and going to continue the tradition, even if I'm the only one eating them... good. more for me!
Love your work! Recently bought the cookbook and horrified my mother with the later recipes! 😂 She called you Slim Suave because of your pics in it (and frankly, i agree!). Keep up the great content!
Buckeye's were the Christmas only "special" treats of Midwest GenX childhoods. Well, those and the Rum Balls us kids would sneak & gobble up... GenX had the sweet spot, no doubt about it! ❤😁😂 (& FORGET Cape Canaveral - Wright Patterson is where the secrets and aliens are 😂👾👽)
"You're actually going to tell me I need to be 6'5" and well endowed..." 😂🤣😂🤣💀 That unalived me the for the second time in this video, the first was "probed, fo' fREE" and the helmet flying.
As an Ohioan, we love buckeyes in this house. I make them every holiday time. Homemade ones are imo better than the store bought ones. The exception being those made by hand at bakeries.
@@Kimberly-Fredrick Depends on your recipe. Some peoples peanut butter filling tastes like pure peanut butter from a jar, others it's more like Reeses. In both cases there is a much larger ratio of peanut Butter filling to chocolate when compared to a Reeses.
another one of my family’s christmas cookies! no idea why, they’re from my tennessee grandma. instead of shortening, our recipe has you add a bit of paraffin wax to the chocolate to help it set up at room temperature. these days we just keep them in the freezer. definitely from before 1980!
My family and I have made buckeyes every Christmas for the past 20 years. They are, without a doubt in my mind, the best Christmas candy. Store-bought ones will never compare
This is one of my FAVORITE performances! I love your performance more than the thought of eating the treat - and I often love the idea of imbibing the food that you show.
My gramma made these every fall/ winter (when buckeyes were on the ground) and I love them so much. My aunt sent me some around Christmas and it was the nostalgia I needed.
