Buckeyes reinvented - these little peanut butter treats give a nod to their namesake while keeping things simple and fun. The combination of cream cheese and chips is where the magic really happens.
1 package cream cheese
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 packages peanut butter-flavored chips
1 cup finely chopped peanuts
1 package semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk until smooth.
In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt peanut butter chips; stir into cheese mixture. Add nuts. Chill 2 to 3 hours; shape into 1-inch balls.
In small saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with shortening. With wooden pick, dip each peanut ball into chocolate mixture, not coating completely.
Place on wax paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Store covered, at room temperature or in refrigerator.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
