I have a delicious recipe for Buckeye Candy, but I'm having a problem. After I form the ball and roll it in the chocolate, for some reason some of the chocolate rolls down and spreads out on the waxed paper and looks bad.. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds to me that your chocolate is too thin. Are you thinning it with something? Try melting the chocolate and some wax together. You might have better luck. If you love to cook you can subscribe to nancyskitchen@yahoo.com. It is a free recipe newsletter. I subscribe to it and love it. They had recipes for buckeye candy and also for buckeye bars. I made the buckeye bars and they were yummy good. I'm going to try the buckeye candy next like you are making. You could go into the archives and find those recipes for the buckeyes.

Older recipes had a small amount of paraffin wax melted into the chocolate which kept it on the peanut butter better, but alot of the newer ones have cut out this step. Newer recipes do not have anything to "bind" the chocolate to the peanut butter which causes it to roll off like yours has.

the chocolate is too hot ... let the chocolate cool down before u dip them. U might also have too much parifane wax in the chocolate

Granny, I'm afraid I can't help you with the candy, but I wanted to thank you for the very encouraging message you sent me! I tried to reply to it, but I got a message saying, "Your email did not go through because the recipient's email address has not been confirmed."
I really appreciated your message. God bless, and good luck with the Buckeyes!

Whether they want to be approached, or left alone is usually the difference between approachable and not approachable. Anybody could be approached in a hypothetical situation, not all situations are hypothetical though. Most people pick up on when somebody wants to be left alone, and when they feel like approaching people, they usually let people know by approaching people.

Sounds like your chocolate isn't dense enough...also, you should just dip the balls, not roll them...that might help.
