You may have seen this delicious maple peanut butter by Jif at the grocery store… (this is not a sponsored post, this is just the product that I have found and my family loves it!)

I really just bought it because I thought it would taste good on bread with a little honey added for a quick snack for the kids. But then, I had the idea to use it to make some buckeyes for a football party… and yes, they were a huge hit!

Of course, you know that I love to make this classic buckeyes recipe, but I also love any recipe that adds maple, especially in the fall and winter! I guess the maple leaves changing color and falling off the trees gets me in the mood for that delicious maple flavor in my cooking!
