WOW - fudge sounds good... Getting together with my girls on Sunday and making cookies and peanut butter balls... When my mother was living, she baked and made candy for a month before Christmas...Unfortunatly some of it was very stale when Christmas came but we all still enjoyed it and Mom was so happy and proud that she had done it all... When she became unable to do that anymore, her nurse would make them (under my Mom's supervision that is)... Her special was the peanut butter balls and my girls learned how to make them from the best and they carry the tradition on to this day. I guess I am a little nostalgic because my Mom died 12 years ago tomorrow and her birthday was December 17.. So, every Christmas brings many fond memories and sadness too..
glad to have ya back Linny.... I tryed to get my kids to have my mom teach them how to bake, now that mom has moved there going to have to learn on there own sad2

Linny, here in Ohio we call the peanut butter balls "BUCKEYES"


We started out calling them Buckeyes...then somehow they became Peanutbutter Balls?????
