Can you tell me the best way to cut? I made some last year but couldn't get them to cut very good....still were yummy.

Placing it in the freezer with a really sharp knife helps.

I am from Ohio and have made MANY Buckeyes. But you have to have an empty refrigerator to chill the balls on cookie sheets. This recipe sounds WAY easier, and I will do this next year for Christmas.
Question: Can you be more specific about "chocolate candy coating?" Did you use chocolate chips or something else?
Thanks!

Almond Bark is the true name. I am going to add a picture of it too!

Sweet! I love making Buckeyes, it's something my mom taught me to make (she's a native Ohioan...? lol I think that's what you'd call her!)... I think this would be easier! Thanks for sharing and for linking up at the Weekend Wind-Down Party with us!!! God Bless!
