Buckeye candies, no refined sugar
These are probably the original inspiration for Reese's peanut butter cups, but I gotta say, the real ingredients and lack of refined sugar make them much more enjoyable. Make them in the original buckeye shape or use a silicon muffin liner to make them a peanut butter cup. These are not as sweet as a store bought PB cup, if you prefer sweeter, increase the date sugar.
