Candy Pops
Last year I made cupcake pops for Madeline's birthday (http://kerstinskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/07/maddies-birthday-cupcake-pops.html). They were really cute, but I didn't think they tasted like anything super special. So I decided to see if I could make them with a peanut butter truffle/buckeye thing I like to make & I think they turned out pretty cute. I just covered them with candy coating & put pre-made flowers on them that I found at Hobby Lobby today.
Peanut Butter Truffles/buckeyes modified
This is one of Matt's favorite things. I just took a recipe for buckeyes and modified it.
1/2 c butter, melted
1 1/2 c peanut butter
4 c powdered sugar
Combine all the ingredients. (I use my hands) Roll the mixture into 1/2 T balls. Refrigerate them for about an hour. Coat them with melted chocolate almond bark and let them set on parchment paper.
Ohhh those look so good! Thought of you today...took my car in for an oil change at the Honda Dealership! Hope all s well!
