Hello Wednesday! Chelsea here.

With the holidays approaching, it seems like a great time to talk about the best chocolate treat you could possibly bring to a family gathering: the buckeye. Now you can keep it traditional and just grab yourself one of the candies, but you can also grab some buckeye-inspired desserts as well. It seems like a fantastic day to celebrate Ohio, so let’s do it with something yummy.
