Make Buckeyes

I finished the buckeyes, but I did so many taste tests along the way that my tummy aches too much to eat more than one right now. The one I ate was great.

The chocolate coating doesn’t go on as thick as I’d like. Next time, I should double dip them. Dipping them just once was a little bit of a challenge, though, because they wanted to slip off the toothpick.

Luckily, there’s music night tonight, so I can feed some to the Oaxacan Daredevils.

I mixed the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar concoction and made the peanut butter balls that are the heart of the buckeye candy. I forgot to add vanilla. Hopefully, that’s just for flavor and not for something serious like holding the candy together or making the chocolate stick.

The peanut butter balls are chilling in the fridge while I rest.

• butter
• powdered sugar
• peanut butter
• vanilla
• chocolate chips
• paraffin (I almost didn’t find this in the store)

Maybe tomorrow is the day to make buckeyes.

but I’m sick. A winter cold, just in time for my 11 day holiday. :(

On the other hand, at least I don’t have to take leave time, or worse… go to work sick.

I saw 11:11 on the clock this morning, so I wished my cold would pass quickly.
