I was irritated enough by the whole chocolate tempering thing to not bother with the special dipping technique to make them look like creepy-ass eyeballs. I’d never heard of Buckeyes – it’s a regional thing, I guess, that we don’t have in Minnesota. They were worth all the restless leg syndrome in the world.Īnd they have ground up Cap’n Crunch in them. The truth is, they were like the best damned Reese’s peanut butter cup EVAR. I wish I could say, then, that these treats were not worth the trouble. Or at least, I think I may have contracted restless leg syndrome or something. Putting together the filling was no big deal, but I think I actually lost my will to live a couple times while tempering the chocolate and dipping the centers. I’m not gonna lie: these cookies are a pain in the ass to make. Turkey, Brie and Pea… on Pear-Apple Butter and Cheddar …

If you wrap the treats well in non-stick tin foil and then place them in a zip-top bag you may freeze the treats for up to a month.

If you refrigerate the treats, the cereal may become too soft.

These treats are best the day they are made but they can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week.
