Our Favors

I was asked to make my Buckeyes for a BBQ party this past weekend, which reminded me that I never posted about my favors. (Oops, three months later).
I really wanted to do chocolate Buckeyes (being from a long line of Ohio State graduates), but I also wanted to do something with my husband's irish heritage. I know it was pretty much a typical favor - but I still thought it was a neat way of showing both our personalities.

So a friend of my sister's created these - Chocolate Buckeyes, a chocolate clover leaf and then our initials. They tasted amazing! I then printed out our "logo" and found ribbon that matched our colors, which we alternated on each box.We had one issue. The boxes became a little too greasy, so we had to find new boxes the day before the wedding. I then used my bridesmaids (my own little sweatshop) to put them all together.

I have no idea what a buckeye is. I am dying to try one now that I've read about so many brides using them as favors. I wonder if Jenny Craig makes buckeyes? Ha. Ha.

Maybe I will make them for the next Chicago Blogger happy hour? They are a $#%^& to make...or maybe I just do not have any patience!
