Have you ever eaten buckeye-candy?

This delicious buckeye-candy recipe is a bit different from any other buckeye recipe. It is a basic peanut butter candy that is rolled in melted butterscotch and semisweet chocolate chips. It delivers a bit of a crunch from rice krispie cereal and is fun to make. I hope you enjoy this recipe for buckeyes. You could place this recipe with your other favorite rice krispie recipes. If your not a big fan of butterscotch, then use more chocolate chips, or omit the butterscotch all together and use only chocolate.

Good Luck!
