Buckeye Fudge
Buckeyes are hands-down my favorite candy. When I was a kid, my mom would make these little guys by the dozens.
It’s the peanut butter-chocolate combination that can not be beaten.
The salty and sweet flavor translates perfectly in this decadent fudge.
I hope you make this fantastic fudge and see for yourself.
