I thought this was a great idea to boost the fiber content of buckeyes, and the presentation is creative and cute. However, the taste of the recipe as written was revolting. They were not even close to sweet enough, and they tasted overwhelmingly of chickpeas. I cannot imagine that any child would actually eat these. Only 2 T. of honey should have been my tip-off. I ended up adding an extra 3/4c. of peanut butter (on top of the 1/2 c.) to boost the peanut flavor and 2 c. of powdered sugar before I thought they were about right. I'm not sure that combination is exactly right, as the texture was still very soft and oily. But this recipe *definitely* needs more peanut butter and powdered sugar to be tasty.
