How it differs from similar foods

Unlike peanut butter cups, their shape is typically more rounded and often has a slightly more pronounced peanut butter flavor due to the higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate in the center.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining buckeyes in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid extreme heat, as the chocolate may melt. They can also be refrigerated for a firmer texture, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and consistency.
