Last night, I watched a show on Food Network about the Vermont Maple Festival in St. Alban's, VT. "Maple Buckeye" were mentioned & now I'm intrigued. I hail from Ohio, so Buckeyes are in my genes, but not maple Buckeyes. I've not found anything searching Google. I'm wondering if a copycat recipe for maple "Bun" candy bars could be tweaked, without the peanuts? I'm thinking 10X sugar, maple syrup & butter dipped in chocolate. Anyone got any ideas?
Thx, Ginger & Ann. I checked out all & will experiment. (I'll probably have to leave the bourbon out of the maple balls, though, Ann, as I'm going to take them in to school for a teacher party - darn.)
