These have always been one of my favorites - you can buy them at Cracker Barrel - but I've never tried to make them. They look so yummy!
Oh my! Those look so yummy, Mrs. H! *Drool*

I love, love, love buckeyes!!!! They are the perfect Christmas treat!
My hubby grew up close to Cincy so he had to educate me to what these were.
We do ours a little bit different but same concept. We put rice krisipies in them to give them a little more texture like a reese's peanut butter cup. Yummy! But, no so good to the waistband.
A friend at church gave me some of these as a gift along with the recipe! Must give the recipe a try since they probably wont make me more!(Do you suppose that is why they gave me the recipe?! :~} ) They are sooo good! I think with all the Christmas goodies, you will have to host another Walkin' on Sunshine. Maybe this time it will be Walkin' in Snowshoes!
