Tips and Tricks for Delicious One-Bite Buckeyes
- The most important step is to accurately measure and level the flour. This is crucial in getting the perfect texture and consistency for your Buckeye Bites. I would even suggest using a kitchen scale to measure everything out precisely if you can.
- I like to make my One Bite Buckeyes with coffee! So, if you’re a coffee lover like me, give it a try! But if you’re not, don’t worry, you can still use water instead.
- As much as you want to go ahead and indulge, don’t skip the full chilling step in the recipe. You’ll be rewarded with the perfect One-Bite Buckeye.
The Best Things about these Delicious One-Bite Buckeyes
- No bake! You don’t have to turn on anything to make these so you can make them in warm weather, with the kids, or even in a hotel (we all need a vacation treat!) where there’s no place to cook.
- The combination of sweet and salty is just perfect!
- Did we say bite-size?! What’s more fun than bite-sized?
- They fit any occasion! You can dress these guys up for a holiday, a birthday, etc. My kids like to add Christmas sprinkles before the chill stage for Christmas Delicious Buckeye Bites. Let your imagination run wild!

Refrigerating the Delicious One-Bite Buckeyes
When it comes to storage, make sure to store your One-Bite Buckeyes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. I also recommend keeping these in the fridge as much as possible while you’re enjoying them, especially on a warm day or in a cozy environment in the winter. The topping can easily melt or become a mess for your fingers. So, it’s best to let them stay a bit chilled.
