In a medium sized bowl, mix all the peanut butter filling ingredients until the mixture comes together. If it is too dry add a little date syrup to help it stick.

Roll the peanut butter filling into ½ tablespoon sized balls. Place in freezer while you prepare the chocolate.

Break up the chocolate into chunks and add to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 ½ minutes. Remove and stir for at least a minute -- this is what helps melt all the chocolate. If the chocolate isn't completely melted after extensive stirring, place in the microwave again at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir again for at least a minute, repeating until the chocolate is completely melted.

Stir the date syrup into the melted chocolate.

Use a toothpick to pick up each peanut butter ball and coat it in chocolate. To make the traditional buckeye design, leave a small opening of peanut butter on one side.

Freeze for at least an hour. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let thaw for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
