Buckeye Brownies
These Buckeye Brownies start with a fudgy chocolate base, topped with a smooth peanut butter frosting and finished with a rich chocolate ganache. They’re the perfect treat for chocolate and peanut butter lovers!
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 (18-ounce) box fudge brownie mix + ingredients listed on the box
Peanut Butter Frosting
- 1 cup creamy no-stir peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2–4 tablespoons milk
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box, pour it into the prepared pan, and bake as instructed. Let the brownies cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips and microwave for 40 seconds. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set.
- Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze the brownies in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before eating.
