David was asked by a fan what his favorite food was in America. He said anything Reese’s makes. “Give me peanut butter coated in chocolate and I’m yours”. He said that’s one thing that America has done that the UK is just starting with, is peanut butter. “You guys make peanut butter its own flavor. You’ve got salty, sour, sweet, savory, and peanut butter.”

Then a fan shouted “Try a buckeye!” And he said “what’s that? Sounds like a disease. ‘I’ve got a case of the buckeye… I can’t sit down at the moment’”And then he squirmed around in his chair like had hemorrhoids or something lol. Then the interviewer describes what a buckeye is (it’s an Ohio peanut butter and chocolate dessert).

Black Tailed Red

In order to make this post I had to do a fair bit of research to form my own opinion on the black tailed red genotype. And you may form your own.

I raised Buckeyes for years so I have a decent number of examples of this. Note: there is some disagreement as to whether black tailed red is created using Columbian Co or Ginger and likely there are examples of both. But as to the most common (American) red breeds it is Columbian. Columbian doesn't express well on a birchen base but dark brown does. When Buckeyes and red birchen Marans were crossed, a leaky red birchen resulted, not a black-tailed red bird. Largefowl Buckeyes and Rhode Island Reds were created analogously at the same time. Since the internet didn't exist back in the early 1900s, Nettie Metcalf (creator of the Buckeye breed) thought she was creating the only red chickens that existed, only to discover that Rhode Island Reds were also being created by breeders on the East Coast! Both breeds have Buff Cochin ancestry. Bantam Buckeyes were created from bantam Rhode Island Reds.

I will start with the New Hampshires since they are a more "unaltered" color. They are e^Wh/e^WhCo/Co/Mh/Mh, giving a deep orange color with no hackle striping on the male but some black v-shapes on the hackle feathers of the females.

Rhode Island Reds and Buckeyes are e^Wh/e^WhCo/Co/Mh/Mh but with other darkening genes that turn their ground color a deep, rich mahogany red color. The proposed symbol for unknown darkening genes is 'rb' meaning "recessive black" but I don't like it because it isn't adding any melanin at all, just intensifying the pheomelanin. That said, in the few areas there is black on these birds, it is intense, creating an interesting contrast between deep, shiny purplish red and black with an intense green sheen.

Here is a Rhode Island Red, with a red so dark it is nearly black.

Rhode Island Reds are red through and through, with some black hackle markings and tail markings. This is typical for a wheaten based columbian. Buckeyes, however, are somewhat unique.

They are not supposed to have hackle markings (though many do) yet they have slate undercolor in their back. (It is red elsewhere.) They may or may not have black in the wings and tail. They all do to some degree but some have very little.

The genetic cause for this difference is unknown.

Find recipe, double check recipe.

Recipe says it makes 15 pieces.

Ok.

That’s not enough. I have…enough butter to triple the recipe, so let’s triple the recipe. This will also use up the majority of the other two ingredients that make the base that I have so woohoo.

Triple recipe should mean it makes 45 pieces.

No.

No it does not.

It made 97.

I spent most of my day doing this and it is the dumbest dessert decision I have made and I hate myself so much.

2.5 jars of peanut butter, 90% of a bag of powdered sugar, and 3 bags (equaling out to 6 cups) of chocolate chips and these little fuckers are done.

And I still gotta do cookies and the marshmallow bark.
