There’s been a substantial number of Midwestern treats coming out of our kitchens this holiday season (see: uber-nostalgic Muddy Buddies and St. Louis-inspired Gooey Butter Cake Cookies), and no one is happier about it than me. It only seems fitting to add to the collection with these best-ever buckeyes, which hail from my home state of Ohio.

Just like a bowl of Cincinnati chili or a pint of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, buckeyes are one of Ohio’s best (and most popular) culinary contributions. The chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls are named after Ohio’s official state tree, and are designed to look like the nuts that grow on them. (The shape and color of the nuts resemble a deer’s eye, hence the name buckeye). But you don’t have to travel to the Midwest to get your fix. Buckeye candies are incredibly easy to make at home — and you certainly don’t have to be from Ohio to do so.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
