These Buckeye Brownies are amazing! Rich chocolate brownies topped with a homemade peanut butter filling and chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
For the brownies:
- 1 box brownie mix, with ingredients according to package (13x9 size)
For the peanut butter filling:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
For the ganache:
- 1 package (10 ounce) milk chocolate chips
- 6 Tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare brownies according to package directions for a 13x9. Make sure to line your baking dish with parchment paper.
- While brownies are baking, make peanut butter filling. In a mixing bowl, combined melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat until combined.
- Remove brownies from oven when done baking. Gently drop peanut butter filling onto top of warm brownies, using fingertips to make sure brownies are completely covered.
- For the ganache, in a small microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat for one minute. Stir until smooth. Pour over peanut butter layer and spread until evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate brownies for 2 hours (or more). Cut into bars while chilled. Serve and enjoy!!
Notes
- Peanut butter. I find regular creamy peanut butter works better than natural or sugar free.
- Storage. Keep these brownies chilled for best results. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
