buckeyes
Shiny brown nuts
Buckeyes are trees or shrubs native to North America, named for their seeds—dark brown nuts with a pale spot resembling a deer's eye.
The Ohio buckeye gives Ohio its nickname, the Buckeye State.
Buckeyes also refers to candy made to look like the nut: balls of peanut butter fudge partially dipped in chocolate, leaving a pale circle exposed.
Capitalized Buckeyes usually means Ohio State University's athletic teams.
