Christmas Treats: Holiday Recipe #20
“Buckeye Balls (also referred to simply as buckeyes) is a confection made from a peanut butter mixture, which is partially dipped in chocolate. Named for their resemblance to the nut of the Ohio buckeye tree, this candy is indigenous to the state of Ohio in the United States.”
For my Buckeyes recipe, I rolled the entire ball in chocolate. There are other variations where you add Rice Krispies as well.
Christmas Treats: Holiday Recipe #21
French Almond Financier Cakes are traditional French street food. They likely originated in the financial district surrounding the Paris stock exchange; and earned their name by their resemblance to a solid gold brick. It’s crusty and light on the outside, rich and dense on the inside. To me, it’s almost like an almond pound cake.
