These are so rich and wonderful. My Aunt makes these every year for Christmas. She would assemble these HUGE cookie trays heaping full with cookies and candies of all kinds. Growing up I remember eating these by the dozen. I would sneak back to the cookie platter and sift through until I could find one. Then, I would sneak with the cookie away from the table, find a little corner and eat it…one after the other after the other. Ah, the good old days!

My grandmother used to make these as well every Christmas and still does (minus the cereal). She called the buckeyes. My kids LOVE them. She still sends us a bunch every year at Christmas time.
These sound delicious. I can hardly wait to try them.
Let me know what you think of them please :-)
