Some friends of mine from Ohio first introduced them to me (the buckeye is the state nut of Ohio, and the candy is reputed to have originated in that state).

I asked for the recipe and it included the paraffin you suggest as a substitute to thin the chocolate. I'm not sure how I feel about that part but I do know they tasted great! I also like your dipping technique using toothpicks. I hadn't thought of that before.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847319383348999446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-50228015666146013992008-11-23T23:09:00.000-08:002008-11-23T23:09:00.000-08:00Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all your wonderful...Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments. They provided a bright spot in my day. Normally, I would respond to each of you, but my littlest candy eater is very sick ... had to rush her to the E.R. in the wee hours of the morning. I totally believe in guardian angels waking me up to check on her. Do you ever do that? Wake up fully from a sound sleep because you sense something isn't right? She had a temp of 104 and was having a hard time breathing. Made great time getting to the hospital, her pulse was 139, and they gave her a steroid to open up her breathing passageways, and hooked her up to a humidifier. We were able to bring her home a couple hours later where she has rested propped up on the sofa or on my lap. Final diagnosis ... croup. Unusual in a 9 year old, but she's very petite and the doctor said her airways are also very small in size. Explains why she catches everything. Ah, life goes on in our little corner of the world. Anyway, you now know more about us that you ever wanted to! <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the comments. I love all the suggestions ... Mark's idea to add some salt and Dawn's idea to use crunchy p/b! <BR/><BR/>Thanks, too, for the awards and meme's; I'll get to them when things return to our version of crazy normal!<BR/><BR/>Off to get some rest!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421838192857136356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-66493096308385692162008-11-23T19:25:00.000-08:002008-11-23T19:25:00.000-08:00awwww... so cute!!! and that lovely chocolate coat...awwww... so cute!!! and that lovely chocolate coating is just perfect to envelope all the richness of it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601719345351536162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-2231153103558561392008-11-23T16:59:00.000-08:002008-11-23T16:59:00.000-08:00wooow. thost look amazing! the pictures are so p...wooow. thost look amazing! the pictures are so pretty, too :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884610943829574148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-35259717790454885242008-11-23T13:04:00.000-08:002008-11-23T13:04:00.000-08:00yes I remember the first time I had these too, I a...yes I remember the first time I had these too, I ate way too many than I should have and then made a batch at home a few days later. next time you make these try using chunky peanut butter for that extra texture.vanillasugarbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326351678882055985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-65769313845069533652008-11-23T08:21:00.000-08:002008-11-23T08:21:00.000-08:00I had to Google the buckeye and our version of thi...I had to Google the buckeye and our version of this tree would be the Horse Chestnut.
