This Buckeye Ball Candy Recipe has been a family favorite recipe for decades. It was one of my favorite recipes to make with my mom and dad when I was a little girl. Simple to make and oh so delicious. My children now love to help me make it. They will last a few weeks in the fridge, if you can keep the out of everyone’s mouth! Enjoy these and make some memories this Christmas.
