File updated. Thanks Chass!

Does anyone have a recipe for the Buckeyes?
I make pb balls dipped in choc, But I would like to see a recipe for buckeyes and see what the difference is ? Anyone ? Thanks !

Found this one on-line Fiddle. Sounds about the same. I've never made them. Sounds good though.

Fiddlesticks, the recipe I posted for mine is "technically" a buckeye recipe.

But I'll get another one right now.


Buckeyes

1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips


..DIRECTIONS
1.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.
2.Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
3.Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
4.Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

Buckeyes 2


INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

..DIRECTIONS
1.Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
2.In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate.
3.Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
4.Remove balls from refrigerator. Insert a wooden toothpick into a ball, and dip into melted chocolate. Return to wax paper, chocolate side down, and remove toothpick. Repeat with remaining balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set


I edited it because it copied & pasted wrong! I'm sorry!!

Only difference... buckeyes is a fancier name... and sometimes they don't dip the very top in the chocolate, so that way you have a brown spot like a 'real' buckeye. HTH!

Boy that's weird, here I was wondering why I wasn't getting any email responses to this thread and it had "unwatched" me! Maybe now I can catch up with all these delicious recipes!

File updated!

There has not been a lot of adds to the thread lately.

We're temporarily losing steam!! We'll pick back up! We're all just too busy trying out all the new stuff!

One thing I like to do is can my awesome home made chicken soup in p pint or quart jars and then label it as 'Flu chaser' for people when the weather starts getting cruddy like this!

Thanks everyone for the recipes and the info!

JACK DANIELS TIPSY CAKE

* 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares
* 1/4 cup instant coffee granules
* 2 cups self-rising flour
* 1/4 cup boiling water
* 1 1/4 cups cold water
* 1/2 cup jack daniels' black label whiskey
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 cup butter (use real butter, plz)
* 2 cups sugar
* 3 eggs


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees, depending on how your oven bakes (it's different for everyone!).
2. Melt chocolate and set aside to cool down a bit.
3. Dissolve the coffee granules in the boiling water. When dissolved, stir in the cold water. Add the whiskey and set aside.
4. In a large electric mixer, cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the chocolate.
5. With the mixer on low, add the flour alternating with the coffee/whiskey mixture.
6. The batter WILL BE THIN & RUNNY. Do NOT add more flour.
7. Pour into two prepared loaf pans (I always make one small and one large-one to keep, one to give away.).
8. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about an hour to an hour and a half. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when serving.

I have most of my favorites stored on an online recipe box......so here are some more...most I have tried, some just look appealing.

Cinnamon Streusel Sweet Potato Pie

1 1/2  cups mashed cooked dark orange sweet potatoes (about 1 lb uncooked)
1/2  cup packed brown sugar
2  tablespoons corn syrup
1  cup evaporated milk
3  Eggs
1/2  Teaspoon salt
1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2  teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8  teaspoon ground cloves
1/8  teaspoon ground ginger
1  frozen deep dish pie crust

Streusel
1/4  cup packed brown sugar
2  tablespoons all-purpose flour
2  tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4  cup chopped pecans
1/4  cup chopped walnuts
Topping
1  cup sweetened whipped cream, if desired


1 . Place cookie sheet on oven rack. Heat oven to 425°F. Place sweet potatoes in food processor; cover and process until smooth. In large bowl, mix sweet potatoes and remaining filling ingredients with wire whisk until smooth; pour into frozen pie crust.
2 . Bake on cookie sheet 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 20 minutes longer. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix streusel ingredients. Carefully sprinkle streusel over filling. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and streusel is golden brown. Cool completely, about 3 hours.
3 . Serve pie with sweetened whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator. 8 servings.

Oh, on that sweet potato pie, the original recipe says to use a frozen crust but I never do. Obviously if you make 'em homemade, go that route, otherwise go ahead and use the frozen kind.

ETA: And the file is updated!

I may have to try that for the inlaws, thanks Mel!

Thanks, Mel you should add that to the pie thread to !
cmp24.. Really RKT,S ??

My pleasure!

And, when I do the potatoes... I always do at least twice as many, then measure out what I need after processing them smooth, then to the rest I stir in some real butter, salt, and a healthy spoon of brown sugar. Ooooohhhh... so good! Of course, then I have to fight off the kid for it! (Fortunately it's one of the few foods hubby doesn't like, and I'm not going to try and change his mind!)

Mel, my mom makes a ton of sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving & Christmas, and her and my hubby are the only 2 that eat them, lol...she drowns them in brown sugar & marshmallows. My oldest however can eat a HUGE bowl of regular mashed potatoes by herself, thats what her, my brother and I fight over

Yah, don't get between me and the mashed potatoes either. Especially the way I make 'em! I discovered the secret to EASY really good mashed potatoes, so now we get them more than once every couple months!

Sorry its a secret between Mel and I ! LOL!!
