GO BUCKEYES (Since You Don’t Play Florida!)

Okay, I know that the Gator’s don’t play this week.  Another Bye Week.  But I have a recipe that is so special I have to blog about tailgating anyway.  But always remember that my tailgating recipes are also great to have for parties or just quiet evenings in front of the TV. 

In Ohio, the Ohio State Buckeyes were everything.  And since they don’t play against Florida, I’m free to blog about them just a little.  And after all, their Head Coach is our former Gators coach, Urban Meyer, who led the Gators during the great Tim Tebow years.  So with that being said, on to the recipe!

Coach Urban Meyer with the legendary Tim Tebow

Ohio is the Buckeye State, so naturally a lot of things are named for that.  This tantalizing dip beats them all!  Chocolate and peanut butter mixed with lots of other good stuff, and you’ve got a keeper on your hands right here!  Enjoy it whenever Ohio State plays, or even when they don’t.

BUCKEYE DIP

4 oz cream cheese

1/2 c peanut butter, creamy

1/8 c milk

1 c confectioners' sugar

8 oz cool whip

12 oz mini chocolate chips

Graham cracker sticks

Cream cream cheese, peanut butter and milk together until smooth.

Add in confectioners' sugar and blend until smooth.  Fold in Cool Whip and mini chocolate chips.

For best consistency let set in refrigerator 2 hours before serving, but can be enjoyed immediately.   Serve with graham cracker sticks.
