What's a Buck?

Last evening, I quickly posted up a picture of a plate of buckeyes, a delcious chocolate covered peanut butter candy formed into the shape of a buckeye. 

The Ohio Buckeye is the official state tree of my home state, Ohio.  It is also the name of The Ohio State University's athletic teams, frequently shortened to "the Bucks." 

Last night the Bucks played in the NCAA Championship Game vs. the Florida Gators.  It was not a pretty sight.

But the buckeyes were great.  Here's the recipe:

 Oh, and for my international friends, just in case it isn't all confusing enough, here's another buck:

I am a Buckeye, born and bred then transplanted to Kansas.But, once a Buckeye always a Buckeye.

Wow, yum! We have the last kind of "bucks" here but not the others. Thanks for explaining.

...of course our bucks look different to yours and they're not worth as much either.
