It was only a matter of time before I made buckeyes. I had no idea what buckeyes were until I moved to Ohio. Being a Louisiana girl, it was strange to see them for the first time.
I’ve had them several times since I first moved up north, so I was due to make some, but there was no way I was just making simple buckeyes… I wanted to make a buckeye skillet cookie!
There’s a load of peanut butter and chocolate in this dessert, and we all know that it wouldn’t be a skillet cookie without big scoops of vanilla ice cream.
