Mine arrived today. Thank you to Lori. It was all lovely. I have taken a picture so will add it over the next couple of days but we had opened and started eating the Easter chicks before I remembered to take the picture.

They didn't arrive with half of them missing.

Hi Clairabean,

Sorry if I went a little overboard on the candy seems like Easter is about candy and has always been. Trying to get my granddaughter fun non food stuff for her basket! I know the scarf is a little skimpy for the snow but when spring comes around maybe..... I bet you have beautiful green once it melts!?

Remember I said earlier I knew I hadnt found everything? Well guess what I found today! LOL. But I replaced that with the fountain. Glad to see everything made it to you alright. Especially the chocolate, I was worried it might melt having to come all the way across the country and all LOL. SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Oh and I got the chicken timer at Michaels

I noticed someone else was lucky enough to find them too. I love them! Happy Easter!

Thank you, babymakes6!! The cookies are delicious and the bag is really cute! It'll be great for short summer trips!

(I'd also LOVE to know the recipe for the peanut butter and chocolate cookies...how'd you know this is my favorite all time candy combination?!)

Those are Buckeye candy! Ohio is the "Buckeye" state-named for a tree that produces poisonous nuts that look like this:

The recipe is very easy:

Buckeyes

1 lb. butter, softened
2 lbs. peanut butter
2-3 lbs. powdered sugar
1-2 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. milk chocolate chips or bars
Mix all together until smooth and creamy. Shape into walnut-sized balls and freeze in a single layer overnight (or until hard). Melt chocolate for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each, until melted and smooth. Dip balls by toothpicks until partially covered, leaving a small, round, un-dipped area at the top.
These keep well for months in the freezer!
