    Awesome Buckeye Brownies

    Ok, I have to be honest here. I never heard of Buckeye Candy which is what this brownie recipe is based on. I found this delicious recipe when I was looking for a new brownie recipe. The second I saw the ingredients, I knew I just had to make these Awesome Buckeye Brownies.

    Just like Reese's Peanut Butter cups, these Brownies combine two ingredients that go perfectly together, chocolate and peanut butter.

    Awesome Buckeye Brownies

    The first time I made these delicious brownies, I had the pan cooling in the kitchen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my wife cutting a piece. All I heard was "OMG these are delicious! Definitely a keeper!"

    🥜 Nut Allergies

    This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

    📋 Gather your Ingredients

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Awesome Buckeye Brownies recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Chocolate Brownie Mix, Creamy Peanut Butter, Powdered Sugar, Unsalted Butter and Chocolate Chips.

    🥣 How to Make Awesome Buckeye Brownies

    Prepare and make the brownies in a 9 x13 greased pan according to the directions on the package.
    While you let the brownies cool, combine the powdered sugar, ½ Cup of butter and peanut butter. Mix until smooth and then spread over cooled brownies. If the peanut butter is too thick to spread on the brownies, just add a bit of water. Chill for at least 1 hour before moving on to the next step.
    Melt the chocolate chips and 6 tablespoon of butter over low heat or in the microwave. Make sure you stir occasionally so you don't burn the chocolate! Spread chocolate mixture over peanut butter layer.

      These buckeye brownies are so tasty, you will want to eat more than one. There is nothing like peanut butter and chocolate. Every time I make these for company they are a big hit.
