I can't believe November is almost over with.....DANG!! How time flies....
I was so busy this weekend that I couldn't find time to sit down and work on my posts for this week. So here I am today posting for today.....it's just not suppose to be like that. I am suppose to be organized and ahead in my work. You all follow me for a reason, right?
I also missed a school assignment because of my busy-ness this weekend.....UGH!! But I stayed home from church yesterday to complete it.
I really hate that feeling when I feel like I'm running behind.
And I bring you "holiday balls" just to get you all confused and dirty minded....
But I quickly found out through my Facebook Fan Page that not everyone knows what a buckeye candy is. It must be an Ohio treat?
That is why I'm posting the recipe today. I assumed that everyone knows how to make buckeyes.....OOPS!!
My daughter and I worked very hard to make three different kinds of candy. We had chocolate flying everywhere in the kitchen....
Buckeyes
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. butter, soft
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
6 c. confectioners' sugar
4 c. melting chocolate for candy
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
Chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Stir frequently until smooth.
I love Buckeyes, but it's been a few years since I made them. Hmmm maybe I'll have to find some time this year.
