So today I decided i wanted to try my hand at making a sweet treat(no pun on words) called Buckeyes. What is a Buckeye? Well the real buckeye is a nutlike seed off of the Horse Chestnut tree in Ohio. This little nut, according to folklore is considered good luck if you carry it with you!
Or you may be talking about the Ohio State Football team which is nicknamed The Buckeyes....
I on the other hand am talking about the delicious treat that has the appearance of the tree nut. What makes this treat so tasty you ask? Well...it is made up up peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and a little pinch of salt. And you take all of those ingredients, mix them up, and then roll them into little balls and chill for half an hour. when they are nice and chilled you melt chocolate and dip the peanut mixture in 2 thirds of the way.let them chill in the fridge and there you have it!! A yummy treat!
Ive always loved to cook and try to make new things so i guess the first thing is getting the ingredients together then getting up the nerve to actually MAKE it, lol. It usually takes about 5 seconds to get that nerve and replace it with excitement in making something new! LOVE IT!! hahaha. Dave is usually my guinnea pig when it comes to my crazy ideas (which is one reason out of many on why i love him), but i am always looking for more test subj..er lovely people to try my food! :)
They look yummy!
