Buckeye Dip
Buckeye Dip tastes like the center of a Buckeye candy and is served on a snack board with cookie sticks, graham crackers and chocolate covered pretzels. I love Ohio and all the foods that come from our great state. This game day snack is a winner and is sure to get the party started!
The official candy for Ohio is the Buckeye, a small ball of peanut butter and powdered sugar dipped in chocolate. Such a sweet and creamy treat! I grew up in Ohio and have eaten buckeyes for years. Dark Chocolate Buckeyes are easy to make and so rich and creamy!
When I make Buckeye Dip, I like to serve it as the center of a grazing tray or snack board. Guests can munch while watching a big football game, GO Bucks!, or nibble as they talk with family and friends.
What can I serve with Buckeye Dip?
I include lots of choices for dippers, including apple slices, celery sticks, fresh strawberries, vanilla cookie sticks, graham crackers and chocolate covered pretzels. I even add nuts, like almonds or pecans. And I always include a small bowl of strawberry jam for those PB&J lovers, too!
We received a serving tray in the shape of the state of Ohio this past Christmas from family. It is the perfect way to serve this dip and lots of yummy dippers! This Ohio Serving Platter is made by FIFTY UNITED PLATES and can be found on larkathome.com. Serving dishes in the shape of all states are available to purchase and bakeware is oven and dishwasher-safe. It is a beautiful collection of platters!
