Notes
This has become a family tradition. In recent years, we have made a double batch of this recipe for Christmas. In 1996, this produced over 312 buckeyes. In 1997, it produced 311. Thanks to our master mixer Matt and everyone else both in and out of the family that has rolled and dipped over the years.
