Awesome Buckeye Brownies
These Awesome Buckeye Brownies combine Chocolate and Peanut Butter in a brownie‚ Just like buckeye candies!
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.
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!”
