Medarco: Real talk, add rice krispies to the peanut butter mix.
A buckeye like this gif is painfully rich and cleaves to your mouth. You can eat like 4 in one sitting before vomiting.
A true buckeye with rice krispies is lighter and the texture is extremely satisfying. You can eat a near infinite number and feel only joy and content, rather than nausea.
