Buckeyes recipe

[trublu]

Does anyone have a recipe for these delicious things? I thought I had one but I can't seem to find it. I would appreciate it.

thanks, Wanda

I did a search for buckeyes and came up with recipes for a candy called Buckeye balls made with peanut butter, chocolate chips, vanilla and confectioner's sugar. I'm wondering if that's what you're looking for (aren't real buckeyes inedible?). Some recipes called for paraffin and some did not, but most had similar ingredients.http://southernfood.about.com/od/candyrecipes/r/bl30223j.htmhad one and there were several others.

Thanks Capcat. That's what I was looking for. I'm surprised that a candy called buckeyes is listed under a southern foods site.:)

There are lots of species of buckeyes and horse chestnuts around the south.... It's just the Ohio (Fetid) Buckeye that gets all the publicity. (Yes... fetid - the state of OH and the Ohio State University have named themselves after a stinky tree. When the fruit (nut) casing of the buckeye is bruised, it's a smelly mess)

How's that for useless information you never wanted to know?
