BUCKEYE V.A.

Posts Tagged ‘buckeye candy’

There are many versions to this candy recipe, but I’m going to share my twist on it!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 pound confectioners’ sugar
• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1# Coating Chocolate

*Melt chocolate over double broiler. While that is melting you’ll want to cover your work area with waxed paper.

*In a large bowl, combine (your kiddos can do this step, if you over watch them) all of the above ingredients.

*Roll dough into quarter-sized balls, then roll each Buckeye into the chocolate, only covering 3/4th of the way so the peanut butter shows at the top.  I use a tooth pick to hold the Buckeye while rolling in chocolate.

*Once the Buckeye is covered with chocolate you’ll want to place it on the waxed paper for several hours, until the chocolate is firm.

Enjoy!!
