Few combinations are as beloved as chocolate and peanut butter. From peanut butter cups to ice cream swirls, this duo has been delighting fans for decades. At Mueller Chocolate Co., our handmade Buckeyes are one of the best ways to experience this classic pairing — creamy peanut butter centers dipped in smooth chocolate, creating a sweet-and-salty treat that's impossible to resist.
What Are Buckeyes?
Buckeyes are a traditional Midwestern candy named after the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree. The peanut butter center, dipped in chocolate but left slightly uncovered on top, resembles the nut's appearance. Over time, Buckeyes became a staple at holiday gatherings, football parties, and gift boxes across the U.S. Today, they remain one of the most popular chocolate peanut butter treats around.
Why Chocolate and Peanut Butter Work So Well
Chocolate brings smooth sweetness, while peanut butter adds a salty, nutty depth. When paired together, the flavors balance each other perfectly, creating a rich indulgence that satisfies every craving. The contrast of textures — creamy filling against the snap of chocolate — makes every bite memorable. It's the same combination that makes our Peanut Butter Cups so popular, and our Peanut Butter Buckeyes offer a bite-sized way to enjoy it again and again.
Handcrafted the Mueller Way
At Mueller Chocolate Co., we've been making chocolates in Philadelphia since 1980. Our chocolatiers prepare every batch fresh during the week, using only the finest ingredients. That means smooth peanut butter filling, premium milk or dark chocolate coatings, and consistent quality that mass-produced candies can't match. Each Buckeye is made with care, reflecting the same craftsmanship behind our Soft Centers Collection and other small-batch favorites.
Perfect for Gifting and Sharing
Buckeyes aren't just snacks — they're excellent gifts. Because they travel well and have such broad appeal, they fit almost any occasion:
- Christmas and Easter – a festive treat for holiday gatherings.
- Mother's Day or birthdays – a thoughtful gift for peanut butter lovers.
- Corporate gifts or thank-you baskets – an indulgence that stands out.
- Game days and tailgates – Buckeyes are especially popular at Ohio State games and sports parties, but they're perfect for any fan who loves chocolate and peanut butter.
Looking for variety? Pair Buckeyes with our Vanilla Buttercreams or Sea Salt Caramel Chocolates for a gift box that covers every craving.
Serving Ideas and Pairings
Buckeyes aren't just for gifting — they're also a versatile dessert option. Try them:
- On a Christmas cookie platter alongside fudge and bark.
- As a garnish on cupcakes or brownies.
- With coffee or hot cocoa for an afternoon pick-me-up.
- With red wine, dark beer, or sweet dessert wines for an adult pairing.
Because they're bite-sized, Buckeyes also make fun additions to dessert tables at weddings, baby showers, or office parties.
