Allergy Safe Buckeyes

This is a part of my Holiday Cookie Cookbook which is on sale this weekend! Check it out here. It has all the classics made allergy safe!!

One of my all-time favorite Christmas candies has always been Buckeyes. That rich chocolate outside with the creamy peanut butter center feels so nostalgic and classic this time of year. But this year, I wanted to make a version that more people could enjoy—without nuts—and still keep that familiar Buckeye flavor we all love.

I used Finally Nut Free Spread, and honestly, it’s the closest thing to peanut butter I’ve found. It still has that deep, roasted peanut flavor, even though it’s made with chickpeas. If legumes aren’t an option for you, sunflower butter, pumpkin seed butter, or even soy-based wow butter work beautifully too.
