I dined poolside one night at the ACE hotel in Palm Springs and the ambience was straight up Bates Motel with gaggles of hipsters drinking Vodka snowcones from rock’n vintage Airstreams. What those kids didn’t know is that Airstreams aren’t from Silverlake, Portland, Austin, or Brooklyn. Neither is Victoria’s Secret, Oberlin College, Matt Lauer, White Castle, Bow Wow, Coy Bacon, Halle Berry, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, DEVO, The Black Keys, etc, etc, etc, etc,etc…. I’m just say’n.
I’m going back to the OH-HIGH-OH for some true hipness, so see you all in 2 weeks (23OCt) for the next shenanigan & recipe.
Airstream Apron? Got the fabric from the hip divas at Tonic Living. Big, big thanks to Phil DeFalco Photography for the hippest shoots ever.
…
I don’t think I’ve had a buckeye since the last time I was IN Ohio, and that was almost a year ago! I think maybe this weekend, I’ll swipe your recipe & make up a batch of these to enjoy after a monstrous 3-Way!
Have a good trip!!!! And if it’s still around, you should have a late-night/early-morning breakfast at the Blue Danube for me!
I make these every Christmas. They go fast, very fast! My favorite combo. Love that airstream!
Rachel, 3-way and a buckeye? Priceless. 3-way is how we like our chili if anyone is reading!! HaHa.. Thank you for your kind, kind words. If I have time, I”ll have to check out Blue Danube!! xoxo
Eileen, Thank you! They’re a definite XMAS requirement. XO
Oh, I am dying to check out the Ace Hotel, it looks awesome, as does your peanut butter buckeyes, another fabulous post! (I’ve been making aprons for Christmas gifts this year, love that fabric!)
Tiffany! You would LOVE the ACE! Very relaxing and fun.. And who can beat a Vodka Sno-cone out of an Airstream right? That’s rad you are making aprons! Tonic Living has loads of cool fabrics if you need more and they are super, super nice. Thank you sooo much for checking out my post!
Sister Maria Goretti would be so proud of u….remember she used to make us these when we were kids….oh and im proud of u too…
TG! I sooo remember all the nuns making buckeyes. Good memories I have of them. XOXO
nothin says lovin like something from the oven!!! I don’t think I have ever heard of buckeyes, but they certainly look delicious!! Seeing you outside of that trailer, It brought back memories of I love Lucy….
I’ll take one of those vodka snow cones if your making them!!
Dennis
Dennis! You will have to try making them. They are soooo good. And even better with a vodka sno cone!
Stickiness right down the street from me. Sweet butter cups Jenny…..nothing is better in Ohio than tipping cows…your buckeyes! Your buckeyes look dandy!
Thank you! Thank you!! I’m off to deliver a prezzy to the lady with the Airstream for all her hospitality! XO
I think we should have some of these with Champagne when you’re here!!! or maybe those cakes you made for drexting!!! I think the cakes, cause I love sum Champange! Peace Mitzi
Ohhh Mitzi! Now that is music to my ears….Bubbly and sweetness is my drug of choice girl.
Finally a recipe from the Buckeye state
Those are the best finger desserts around by far peanut butter and chocolate it can’t get any better!!
You from Ohio???? I’m from Michigan!! GO MID WEST GIRLIES!
Vodka snocones sound kinda crazy delicious…..hewwwww.
Michelle- Thanks! I’ve was soo excited to show off something from OHIO! I agree, you can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate!! XOXO
Alix!! I knew there was another reason I immediately adored you! Midwest by stock, Cali by flavor!! A good combo mama!
In all the places I’ve lived… I LOVE representing the Buckeye roots with these! Love the recipe, love the shoes, love the tin can on wheels. I am just 3 weeks behind you in the O-H-I-O visit! BTW- we used to visit the ‘Dube (Blue Danube- North High St.) on late Saturday nights a lonnnng time ago!
I’ve been meaning to try buckeyes for a long time. I hear they’re deeelicious! They sure look it!
Loving this whole photo shoot–from the yummy food, to the retro-chic trailer, to the zippy red heels. Okay, especially the zippy red heels, they give such a cute pop of color!
Koci! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You will love the buckeyes. You will have to make them for your classmates when you move to Ireland. XOXO
I love peanut butter. I love chocolate. I love Airstreams. Perfect post. Oh yeah I love Ohio too — only been there for work but always find the people so nice. Will miss you!
Peanut butter and chocolate, sign me up! LOVE IT! GO OH-HIGH-OH!
OMG, wow!!!!!!! Lovvvv it!!!! I’ve never seen a trailer look so classy!
From one Buckeye to another Buckeye: I love your recipe for these and I’ve always been skeptical of the parrafin thing too. I’d love to see some of your secret recipes for cupcakes sometimes, Jennifer… Just saying…
I luvs me some buckeyes….I make these every xmas!! Another fantastic photo shoot, Jenny!!!!
I love Buckeye candy and my Ohio State Buckeyes! Thanks for the recipe! GO BUCKEYES!!
I’m making Buckeyes tonight and bringing them to work! My California friends aren’t gonna know what hit em’!!
Hi Vintage Shuga’,
Thanks for showcasing our great state! We don’t have anything as cool as you here, though.
Love that your hair almost doesn’t fit in the airstream. Good nail polish again too!! That backless dress looks great on you!
– Katie in Cleveland
Miss Katie in Cleveland! They don’t get any sweeter than you my friend. I miss you something fierce. Nail polish in “Pedal to the Metal”, another great find by Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure. XO
Yum, Yum….I love me some PB and Choc….nice one lady
JJ, awesome. you are a girl after my own heart. these look DAYUM good.
and i am loving the photos as always!!!!!!!!!
have a great stay back home, lady!!!!! XO
Miss Jenny – Thank you sooo much! If you lived in Cali, I drop some off to ya mama!! XOXO
No joke…peanut butter balls are one of my favorite holiday-time treats. Maybe it’s childhood memories or maybe it’s the fact that bite size peanut butter and chocolate combos are gifts from heaven. At least my heaven….
These look absolutely delish! And I love the apron – I have been looking for a good source of retro fabrics for some housecoat styled aprons, so thanks a bunch for the link
Heart your work as much as ever =P
<3 C-J from Australia
I was absolutely wanting a recipe for these! And I would do anything to get into that Airstream…
I love everything about this post. The set you came up with is genius, the apron totally works, and even your shoes match the wheels. I don’t know where you find the time to magically make everything come together Jenny, but it sure is fun to see every week.
Oh thank you lovely lady, these sound amazing. And thanks for clearing up the 3 way comment, I was wondering??? xoxo
You have done it again!! AMAZING!! One thing’s for sure….you have found your calling my dear. Incredible pictures, hair, apron, trailer, buckeyes
… How you put it all together is beyond me. You’re an inspiration!!!
You (and this site) just keep gettin’ better and better! You ROCK! I love the ‘buckeyes’! Very current also (ie, College ball games). Keep on truckin’…………. Donna S.
Bringing the cool to San Diego and to everyone who’s a fan. There are the creators and the imitators. Thanks for keeping it real!
you just keep getting better and better…..love it. My favorite posts are the ones with only you in them. I love the different outfits, shoes, aprons and oh yeah – the food is amazing!! Keep it up – love your creativity.
OMG!! Special delivery via Tony. What a special treat. I planned on just taking ONE bite. Didn’t work out as planned. Absolutely loved it. Thanks so much. I love being in the same state as you. Have a great trip!
I’ve eaten these before even when I lived in Iowa.
I’ve never been to Ohio but if this is what that state is all about, I’m there girl!
KMac- It’s all that and much, much more!! XO
looks super sumptuous! love it
I just like the way this sounds…peanut butter buckeyes…yeah!
Love Love Love the airstream! The Buckeyes are going on my Christmas Cookie list. Thanks for sharing!
Photos are fantastic again!! Keeps getting better and better. Can’t wait to see the shoot from Ohio!
Are you kidding me….BUCKEYES???!!!! I love those darn things. I’ll be in Ohio soon to represent! Thanks for the recipe. Will add this one to my list of desserts to make. I think I can handle this one, not too many ingredients. And as for the photos…awwwww, beautiful, just beautiful! Where do you come up with these? Very creative & photogenic! Way to braannngggg it!
These are delicious! Thanks for giving me my first Buckeye!
Joy! Anytime and more goodies to come!!
Nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate, and you do it justice big time! Plus you in fun red shoes and a fab apron tied around just the right black dress, no less in front of a classy Airstream, is yet another stunning photo shoot!
A combination of two of my favorite things. These were a hit at the party.
SL- I will make them again! Just let me know when you are gett’n a craving..
Miss Heather!! You always make me feel like a million bucks! Buckeyes for you the next time we rendezvous.
Could your outfits, photos and deserts be any better – I’m not sure it’s possible!!! <3
OMG — so decadent! My hub used to make a cookie similar to this ,but without the chocolate, which I would seriously miss now that I’ve seen yours. Love your hair, as usual!
Can’t wait for your pumpkin carving event next week.
Thanks Ron! Sooo glad you can make it!! There should be plenty of Dirty Deeelicious Cupcakes!!
My first thought was … Ohio? But after catching site of your cool Airstream, even cooler apron, and those delicious looking buckeyes I think you might be on to something pretty exciting. And three ways too? Goodness, I lead a sheltered life!
Yum..Yumm…Yummm! O my, I have had a weakness for homemade buckeyes in the Fall since the late 80′s. Thank u for the recipe. I’m lovin’ the hip pictures to go with it.
Awesome Laura.. And this recipe is much, much easier and a lot that I’ve seen. Enjoy girlie. XO
Love those Buckeys!! Both of them….
Great idea!
Ahhh! I love Buckeyes, chocolate and peanut butter. My family always has these for the holidays. I’m glad that you reminded me of one of my favorites. Now I can’t wait for our trip back at Xmas.
Keep the creations coming!
Awesome….i look forward to some of these on the Christmas dessert table!
Monthego- You got it… Deetroit – Watch OUT!!
Jenny,
Alexi brought these in for me and they are seriously the best thing I’ve ever eaten. It was my favorite birthday present….you are simply fantastic. I shared your blog (cutest ever by the way) with a bunch of my blog lovin friends.

I was born and raised in Ohio…I wouldn’t call it hip but it does have some mighty fine food
Buckeyes are my favorite. I always make them at Christmas.
Nutmeg Nanny- Thanks a bunch for stopping by! It’s always great to see another Ohioan blogging! I love the Ohio food something fierce darling.
I stumbled across his blog via a link on Facebook. You look very much like a sweet gal I used to hang with in a little river town called Ironton. Ring ny bells? Or maybe I have the wrong Jenny? At any rate, fun blog! And great pictures!
Miss Cindy- OHHHH my Goodness! Thank you for taking time to stop by and say, “hello”.. Yes, you have the right Jenny. Many good times on the Ohio river. Thanks again!
Those look like the best buckeyes ever!!
