Description

Buckeye Brownies are a delicious fusion of fudgy chocolate brownies and the classic Buckeye candy. With a creamy peanut butter layer and a smooth chocolate topping, these brownies are a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 box brownie mix (for a 9×13-inch pan) + ingredients listed on the package (usually eggs, oil, and water)
    (or use your favorite homemade brownie recipe)

For the Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

 



Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base:

    • Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Grease a 9×13-inch pan.
    • Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the package (or make your homemade brownie batter). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as instructed.
    • Once baked, let the brownies cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer:

    • In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined and creamy.
    • Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled brownies. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Topping:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
    • Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, then pour it over the peanut butter layer. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  4. Set and Serve:

    • Refrigerate the brownies for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is set.
    • Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a more indulgent twist, sprinkle sea salt or chopped peanuts over the chocolate topping before it sets.
