Buckeye brownies are a favorite at our house because they look like they took all day to make but are actually quite simple. They pair a rich brownie base with a sweet peanut butter center and a silky chocolate topping.

My best advice is to line your baking pan with parchment paper before you start. This makes it so much easier to lift the whole batch out once they have cooled down.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix plus required ingredients on package
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions and bake in a square pan. Let the brownies cool completely.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.

  4. 4

    Place the pan in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes to let the filling set.

  5. 5

    Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in thirty second intervals until smooth.

  6. 6

    Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it to the edges.

  7. 7

    Chill the brownies again until the chocolate is firm before slicing into squares.

💡 Tips

Store these brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the peanut butter filling nice and firm. They stay fresh for up to five days, though they usually disappear much faster than that.
