When Irish (Buck) Eyes are Smilin' ****** Homemaking Linkup

It's almost time for my favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day!  A couple weeks ago, I showed you how to make my yummy Chocolate Vanilla-Mint Fudge.  Today I'm showing off Irish Buckeyes!
Like the fudge, this one is super easy too!  See this pretty green sherbet cup?  My mom used to serve my brother and I Jell-O and pudding in these.  I love green and pink Depression glass!
Feel free to pin it so you'll have the recipe handy when you're ready to try it out.


Irish Buckeyes

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter

1 tsp. vanilla
1 bag white chocolate chips
green food coloring
(mini chocolate chips are optional)

Mix the peanut butter and butter until creamy, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla. You can also add mini chocolate chips here too, if you've got to have that chocolate fix!  Roll into balls and place on a sheet covered with wax paper.  Melt white chips and stir in desired amount of food coloring.  Using a toothpick, dip balls in melted mixture and let harden on wax paper.  You can use almond bark for this too, if you'd like, but something funky always happens to my almond bark when I add food coloring and they just don't turn out as nice.   


Thanks to Lisa Lynn at The Self-Sufficient HomeAcre for featuring this recipe!

In other news, I'm headed to England this fall on a Jane Austen themed tour and fabric shopping expedition!  I KNOW, awesome, huh?  So, to raise some spending money, I'm selling my PINK carmels again in my Etsy shop.  Let me know if you'd like some..they're YUMMY!

I hope you'll join me for this week's Homemaking Linkup.  I love to feature some of the neat posts that are linked up so please make sure and put my button or a text link on your blog so you'll be eligible to be featured!  There were posts both last week and this week that I really wanted to feature but didn't because there was no back link.

Here are a couple of my favorites from last week's linkup:
Renee from NextGen Homeschool shared these adorable Corn Husk Dolls that her Girls Book Club Co-op made while studying the Little House on the Prairie series.  Aren't they adorable?
Darlene at Maria's Antoinette did a post on her gorgeous purse collection!  These are just so beautiful---I think I need a new collection!

Another blogger that I really admire is Judith at WholeHearted Home.  She always has such a positive attitude, along with fun and witty posts!  Her article called, Overwhelmed? Do the Next Thing! really encouraged me!
Thanks to everyone for the great posts!  

Now for the linkup.  Please remember to return the favor by adding my button or a text link to your post.  Have a great weekend!

LV said...

Since I do not cook much anymore, I would dearly love anything you cooked. You are a lady of many great talents and qualities.

Diann said...

How fun. I have made buckeyes before but never thought to use anything but chocolate on the outside. Thanks for sharing with us.

Doni said...

OK Sarah, I always thought buckeyes had something to do with nuts, so when your recipe didn't include anything but peaNUT butter, I wondered about that...but oh my they look good and I'd love to try one! But then the fudge you made previously and the CARMELs oh my. My blood sugar is rising as I view the pictures!!!
I'm excited for you that you get to go to Europe!! HOW FUN!! I hope you earn lots of spending money for that trip and come home with your bags full of goodies to share with us!
Thanks so much for joining me again this week for my blog party!
Blessings,
Doni

You're doing what??? A Jane Austen themed tour? That's VERY awesome! I hope you post lots of pictures so I can live vicariously through you.

Out of curiosity, why is St. Patrick's Day your favorite? You've got to be the first person I've ever heard say that, so I'd love to know. :)

RobinfromCA said...

A Jane Austen themed trip to England is a truly awesome thing! Two things I love are Jane and England! Don't miss Bath and the house in Chawton! Ooo, and Cath Kidston fabric without the import prices! It's official...I'm jealous. ;-)

A Jane Austen-themed tour to England? That sounds wonderful! My sewing skills are not yet up to the challenge of making one of those beautiful Regency-era dresses, but I enjoy the Sensibility site and dream of going on one of her trips. I can't wait to see it through your eyes - I hope you share pictures!
