I grew up with these and although my mom came from a family that left Ohio pretty recently, sometime around my 5th birthday she gave up trying to explain that they were called buckeyes and just started to call them peanut butter balls. They’re delicious, no matter what you call them.

There’s no point to that story, but I just felt like sharing. (and I think there’s a typo in your title, which you can totally edit and fix)
