Hello all,

I made a batch of Buckeye candy yesterday for the Ohio State game (Go
Bucks!). Trouble is, it makes enough for about 8 million (OK, maybe a
few less than that). I was hoping to freeze the rest to have at
Christmas, but am not sure it would do well. Checked a few websites,
but not much help.

The recipe is butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar blended
thoroughly. Then rolled and dipped in chocolate.

What are everyone's thoughts? I know butter can be frozen, but not sure
about this mixture. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
Kris

They're basically fat and sugar.. both freeze well. I can't swear to the
chocolate but I would freeze them anyway.

I would imagine that they'd freeze well. Heck, during summer I freeze Reeses
PB cups. :-)

It will freeze OK, but the chocolate will develop a white "bloom" on the
outside and you may want to re-dip them after they thaw. I haven't made
Buckeyes in a long time, but the last time I made them, they kept forever!

I guess I'm imagining a bunch of grunting neanderthals getting cranked up on
this shit while watching fatball. Not a pleasant vision.

LOL! I made these because I'm married to a double Buckeye (Ohio State
for both undergrad and grad school).

He doesn't even care that much about the games, unless obnoxious
Michigan fans give him grief about the game, which they have non-stop
this last week.

Football game food!
In Texas we grew up eating "Chili Pies" at High school games. A small
bag of fritos torn open lengthwise, and chili ladled on top. Onions,
jalepenos and cheese as desired. Plastic spoon.

I imagine they do a lot of brats and such in Ohio and Michigan?

This proves my point. Fatball fans use the game to somehow justify eating
things which most people would consider disgusting.

To be fair, Buckeyes are delicious - like a homemade peanut butter cup.


Kris

P.S. - and yes, brats are made a lot for football parties, tailgates,
etc.

Peanut butter and chocolate don't go together? Who
knew?

I'm doing peanut butter meltaways at the moment. They'll
get shaped into small disks, dipped in couverture, and
laid into #6 minicups. Reese's PB cups, but with good
ingredients. They won't survive the first half hour on
TurkeyDay.

What are brats? You are drunk, so you think you used this word in a previous
message, but in fact, you did not.

Oh. Right. I'm drunk. That explains why I'm emailing about freezing
buckeyes. That's what ALL inebriated folk do.

When in actuality I just mistakenly responded to 2 posts at once.

Lighten up Frances!

Ah....a TV head. Just as I thought. Have you ever seen the movie "Being
There"?

I make mine with graham cracker crumbs in them as well. You're right Kris
they do taste like Peanut Butter cups. They are SO good. Mine will keep
about a week outside the freezer, but I freeze them with no trouble at all
and pass them out as needed or should say as wanted during the holiday
season.
