While candy may not be the healthiest thing to eat, I still can’t resist candy for Valentine’s Day. Especially if the candy for Valentine’s Day has some form of chocolate and peanut butter in them.

I mean chocolate and peanut butter gifted for Valentine’s Day is tops on my list. But still, candy, flowers and more can be so costly for this one day.

So, I am all for making my own candy here for myself, my husband and my kids, too for Valentine’s Day.

I can save some money. Plus have fun making my own chocolatey, Peanut Butter Valentine Buck Eyes Candy.

I mean these are indeed relatively inexpensive to make. But they are so pretty, as well as yummy, too.

All you need is butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips and sprinkles!

    NOM NOM NOM. These look so wonderfully delicious! You know, I might just have to make these for the school’s office where I work. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe and it looks pretty easy, too! Sending you hugs and wishes for a wonderful week. Here’s to the rest of winter sailing by quickly so that spring can get here. 😀

      Aw, always so happy to share with you and hope you can make these for your school office. And I am also with you on spring getting here sooner rather than later now, too. Many Monday hugs once again!! <3

    Janine,

    You Valentine’s White Chocolate Buckeyes look extremely delicious. My family loves peanut butter everything in my house. My teens are always grabbing a spoon and eating a scoop of peanut butter right out of the jar. I am going to have to try these Buckeyes. They would LOVE them. They look beautiful too.
    Blessings for a wonderful week,
    Diane

      Diane, your kids sound a lot like my own as they also could and do eat peanut all times of the day. So peanut butter seriously is a go to here, as well. I hope you can make these for your kids soon and thank you always, my friend!! 🙂

    I haven’t done much stuff for Valentine’s Day lately, but this looks too good not to try. I’m actually thinking of doing a craft today since there’s snow and I’m just bored out of my mind. Madison would enjoy these!

    • Janine says

      I need to do more crafts here now, too. We haven’t had snow in a few weeks though and all we had has now melted. But still I need a good crafting day here still. And hope you can try these with Madison, too now 🙂

  7. Jennifer says

    You would never guess there’s peanut butter in there by the look of them! Sounds and looks amazing Janine! I’m kind of excited to do Valentine’s Day with the girls this year… thanks for the ideas!

    Wishing you a lovely week!
    xoxo

    Can you believe it’s already Valentine’s Season! I have a sweetheart so I’m pretty excited about all the goodies coming my way. White Candy is allowed but only for Christmas and Valentines Day 🙂 Chocolate and peanut butter are great all year around. I love the idea of making your own candy, I’m going to give it a shot. Have great week Janine 🙂
