@whitedoveupnorth it's a very old southern candy recipe super easy... cut marshmallows in half with kitchen scissors melt butterscotch morels with some household wax (used in candy making) using a wooden skewer dip the marshmallow in the melted butterscotch and immediately top with a half pecan cool on wax paper. Let me look for a picture
I use the pecan half to scrape off the skewer and it covers the little hole made with it when dipping

@ambergypsy girl they keep well! I just store in a big plastic container with a lid. I will say I buy a great big box of wax paper sheets from like Sam's club to place between layers or all my "goodies" to keep them pretty. The household wax makes your candies shiny and hardens pretty. I also add to my chocolate morsels for dipping my buckeyes. I prefer morsels/chips with wax over chocolate bark for a much more professional look and better taste too.
I usually make them all in a designated 2 - 3 days. I package in tins or those little plastic containers sometimes putting different items in different containers and stacking together tied up in a pretty bow on top. Sometimes I just do layers in a big tin like a box of chocolate come. I go to a little bakers shop in knoxville called Sugar Bakers and buy candy dividers sometimes. The buckeyes and butterscotch candies are pretty in mini cupcake papers too. Just depends on my budget and the deals I find. It makes really nice thoughtful gifts. I've even make a pound cake and placed in a Christmas tin as the base of stacked goodies. You can use cellophane bags too.
