It's almost time for my favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day! A couple weeks ago, I showed you how to make my yummy Chocolate Vanilla-Mint Fudge. Today I'm showing off Irish Buckeyes!
Like the fudge, this one is super easy too! See this pretty green sherbet cup? My mom used to serve my brother and I Jell-O and pudding in these. I love green and pink Depression glass!
Feel free to pin it so you'll have the recipe handy when you're ready to try it out. |
Irish Buckeyes
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 bag white chocolate chips
green food coloring
(mini chocolate chips are optional)
Mix the peanut butter and butter until creamy, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla. You can also add mini chocolate chips here too, if you've got to have that chocolate fix! Roll into balls and place on a sheet covered with wax paper. Melt white chips and stir in desired amount of food coloring. Using a toothpick, dip balls in melted mixture and let harden on wax paper. You can use almond bark for this too, if you'd like, but something funky always happens to my almond bark when I add food coloring and they just don't turn out as nice.
Thanks to Lisa Lynn at The Self-Sufficient HomeAcre for featuring this recipe!
Thanks, also, to Renea at Cupcake-n-Bake for the feature!

Hello Sarah,
ReplyDeleteJust look at that tiny pink bundle. You've been blessed with a quiver full! Your family is so lovely.
I'm so glad you stopped by and commented. I'm so happy to meet you. I live in Bend. We've been here for 7 1/2 years and love it.
God brought us here and not a day goes by that I don't thank Him.

Your recipe is terrific! Thanks for sharing! Lots of holidays this month and the time change and we are in for more snow! Sigh! I hope your weekend is wonderful and thank you for sharing today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up last week - I'd love to see what you have to share this week! http://ow.ly/izaZA
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the invite and for this great party!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Irish buck-eyes :)
Since I do not cook much anymore, I would dearly love anything you cooked. You are a lady of many great talents and qualities.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I have made buckeyes before but never thought to use anything but chocolate on the outside. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteOK Sarah, I always thought buckeyes had something to do with nuts, so when your recipe didn't include anything but peaNUT butter, I wondered about that...but oh my they look good and I'd love to try one! But then the fudge you made previously and the CARMELs oh my. My blood sugar is rising as I view the pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you that you get to go to Europe!! HOW FUN!! I hope you earn lots of spending money for that trip and come home with your bags full of goodies to share with us!
Thanks so much for joining me again this week for my blog party!
Blessings,
Doni

You're doing what??? A Jane Austen themed tour? That's VERY awesome! I hope you post lots of pictures so I can live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, why is St. Patrick's Day your favorite? You've got to be the first person I've ever heard say that, so I'd love to know. :)
A Jane Austen themed trip to England is a truly awesome thing! Two things I love are Jane and England! Don't miss Bath and the house in Chawton! Ooo, and Cath Kidston fabric without the import prices! It's official...I'm jealous. ;-)

A Jane Austen-themed tour to England? That sounds wonderful! My sewing skills are not yet up to the challenge of making one of those beautiful Regency-era dresses, but I enjoy the Sensibility site and dream of going on one of her trips. I can't wait to see it through your eyes - I hope you share pictures!
ReplyDeleteYummy and supercute!!! Love your photography styling my friend! ;)
