I want lots of these. Nice photos too. I make my own vanilla extract and it is way better than store bought. I get bourbon vanilla beans from an online called Juliet Mae Spices. I chop them up and soak in bourbon whiskey for a few months and yum.

Buckeyes have been my favorite treats since childhood. In my family, we always add Rice Crispies and sometimes use crunchy peanut butter for a fabulous texture. The only downside of the additional crunch is that you can’t just scoop out the dough with your handy-dandy tool–Rice Crispies mean much more work in the rolling stage, but TOTALLY worth it.

Just something to try the next time you lose all self-control! Thanks for all the great cooking ideas.

I know the feeling…I’ve done that with countless baked goods that I kept around. So now I bake, eat one or two, and then send the rest to work with my husband immediately. Everyone wins, I get to bake and taste a bit, and his work loves me for baking for them all the time.

Erin, I’m a little late to this deliciousness, and I’m quite sure there are none left. Couldn’t you make another batch…just a little one?

I know these as Buckeyes, too, and was taught to make them by a native Ohio girl. As you’ve noted, they’re good enough to almost never make again. Great job!
