Summary
A handwritten two-sided index-card recipe for peanut-butter "buckeye" candies dipped in chocolate-paraffin coating.
Key contents
- Title as written: "Buck Eyes" (two words on card; standard name is "buckeyes").
- Ingredients (peanut butter mixture): 2 cups peanut butter, 1 stick oleo (melted), 1 box powdered sugar, 2 cups rice crispies.
- Coating ingredients: 12 oz package chocolate chips, 1/2 slab paraffin (wax).
- Method: Mix the peanut butter mixture well with hands and form into balls. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin together in a double boiler (for dipping).
- The card does not state how to dip the balls (e.g., toothpick, leaving a peanut-butter circle exposed — the classic buckeye look), nor how long to chill/set the dipped candies before serving.
