Buckeye Brownies
February 4, 2013 115 comments
These brownies will make any of you peanut butter and chocolate lovers absolutely ecstatic. I usually like to
distribute my baked goods to family, my moms coworkers, etc., so that I dont have too many leftovers. These
brownies did not leave my house. I shared them with immediate family, but no one else. The leftovers got
wrapped up and put in the freezer for an emergency. Everyone knows that an emergency that requires immediate
consumption of a rich, chocolate baked good is a very serious emergency. Consider me well-prepared.
I have been seeing different versions of Buckeye Brownies all over Pinterest for quite some time now. Theyve all
looked a little bit different; some have a peanut butter layer baked in, some start with a box brownie mix, and on
and on. I loved the idea, naturally. You cant put that type of chocolate and peanut butter combination in front of
me and expect me to forget about it. After thinking about how I wanted to tackle them, I finally decided to use my
chewy brownies as a base; they were formulated to specifically mimic the texture and flavor of a box brownie
mix, so they were the perfect starting point. I baked those and then layered on a modified version of my buckeye
filling. I made it a little less stiff since I wasnt rolling the mixture into smooth balls, but rather spreading it on top
of the brownies. I topped it all off with a smooth chocolate/peanut butter glaze.
Basically, these taste like buckeyes on steroids. Ive made peanut butter brownies before, so Im sure youre
wondering which one I like better. I have to say that these have the edge. I grew up on buckeyes during the
holidays and that flavor will always scream comfort food dessert to me. These immediately made my short list
of all-time favorite brownie recipes. Im willing to bet my last one that theyll make yours, too

Buckeye Brownies
Yield: 24 to 32 brownies, depending on how large you cut them
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
The ultimate brownie recipe for chocolate and peanut butter lovers!
Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
cup Dutch-processed cocoa
1 teaspoons instant espresso (optional)
cup plus 2 Tablespoons boiling water
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
cup plus 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 egg yolks

2.2K
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cups all-purpose flour
teaspoon salt
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
cup creamy peanut butter
cup unsalted butter
Pinch salt
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze:
1 cups milk chocolate chips
cup creamy peanut butter
Directions:
1. Make the Brownies: Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a
9x13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving about a one-inch overhang on all sides. Spray with nonstick
cooking spray.
2. Whisk cocoa, espresso powder, and boiling water together in large bowl until smooth. Add
unsweetened chocolate and whisk until chocolate is melted. Whisk in melted butter and oil. (Mixture
may look curdled.) Add eggs, yolks, and vanilla and continue to whisk until smooth and
homogeneous. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated. Add flour and salt and mix with rubber
spatula until combined.
3. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until toothpick inserted halfway between edge and center
comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack and
cool 1 hours.
4. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Beat together the peanut butter, butter and salt on medium speed
until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and alternate adding the
powdered sugar and the milk, mixing to combine after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, beat to
combine, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat until completely smooth and creamy. If it
seems a little bit too dry to spread, add another splash or two of milk to get it the right consistency
(this could vary based on humidity levels). Using an offset spatula, spread the peanut butter mixture
in an even layer over the top of the brownies.
5. Make the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze: Melt together the chocolate chips and peanut butter in
the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely smooth and melted. Pour
the mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread into an even layer with a spatula. Refrigerate for
at least 30 minutes, or until set.
6. Using foil overhang, carefully lift brownies from pan. Cut into squares and serve. Brownies can be
stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

I am in love with everything about these! And the fact that you kind of hoarded them and didnt just donate
them to othersspeaks volumes I have desserts like that every once in awhile that dont get shared past
immediate family, and even they are lucky. lol
The brownie base itself is perfect. I love the chewiness of it. I have a brownie base that I love but the texture
of yours is amazing looking. And then the other layers, of course, PB + chocolate can do no wrong!

Hi there! I am a new reader, but am thoroughly enjoying your blog. Our version of the holiday buckeye
includes rice crispies in the peanut butter. Do you think that the pb layer in these brownies could sustain the
addition of the crispies? My husband has asked for a batch for his bday next week, and I think these would
be a nice surprise. Thanks for the awesome adaptation!
Reply
Michelle on February 4th, 2013 at 7:27 pm
Hi Kerry, If you want to fold Rice Krispies into the peanut butter layer, youd probably want it a little
less stiff. Youll need to play around with it, but maybe a little less sugar, a little more milk, etc. to
make it easier to mix the cereal in.

On another note, Ive been scouring the Internet for peanut butter cookie-style bars with caramel and peanut

(http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/05/knock-you-naked-brownies/) Ive been making them for
years but call them Goom Bars but with a peanut butter cookie base instead of a cake batter base. Do
you have anything like that? Do you take requests?

parchment paper would work better?

Hi Donna, I think that would work fine; lining with foil or parchment makes it easier to

These are awesome. I made the first batch of brownies but my kids gobbled them up before I could make
the other layers so I put a second batch in the oven. Just a comment about using the tin foil. Though the
brownie mix didnt stick to it, there was one stubborn corner that would just not let up, I practically had to
scrape it out. I did use parchment paper for the second batch, but it was much harder to seperate it from the
pan, so its best to use tin foil and spray it generously. Also, for the top layer, the mixture came out a bit stiff
so I had to add a Tbl spoon of oil to make it smooth enough to spread. Nonetheless, like everything else
Ive made from your recipe box, they were awesome and are all gone..!

using Almond milk in the peanut butter layer, lactose-free margarine instead of butter, and semi-sweet
chocolate instead of milk chocolate. These are SO GOOD and I will DEFINITELY be making them again.

Look awesomazing. Will try to convert to gluten free, which is always tricky. Could you use just a 3rd egg
instead of 2 yolks?
Thanks!
Reply
Michelle on March 11th, 2013 at 12:41 am
Hi Kelly, I would not. The yolks contribute to a creamy texture, while the inclusion of egg whites
could create a more cake-like texture.

KellyS, I made on Saturday as Gluten Free and turned out really good! I used a flour mix that I use
for everything (Tapioca, Rice and Potato). The peanut butter filling didnt seem to completely
adhere to brownies, not sure if to do w/ the GF aspect but most likely just user error. Gave to a friend
for birthday had was told they were really good and would not share.

since thats all I had, I used fat free milk in the filling as thats what we use and I used Dark Chocolate
Chips for the glaze. as I use dark in all my baking. They will be a hit, I am sure. I have a few put back to
freeze for when I get a chocolate craving!

Hi, how do you cut brownies so perfectly? Thanks!

Hi Karen, I actually use a pizza cutter! It cuts through brownies so easily and cleanly!

I tried making this recipe yesterday and refrigerated it overnight but my top layer (chocolate chip + peanut
butter mixture) didnt set/harden at all! What could i have possibly done wrong? Everything else was
perfect though!

Hi Niq, Did you use natural peanut butter? If so, that could definitely be the problem (too much oil).

I made these last weekend for guests. The peanut butter layer was excellent, but the brownies themselves
were just ordinary. Im a brownie critic, so very fussy. I do not like brownie mixes from a box, so shouldnt
have tried to replicate boxed brownies to begin with. I even used the good stuff in them high end
chocolate and cocoa, and they still didnt do it for me. Ill stick with your Salted Caramel Brownie recipe,
which is the end all brownie recipe of all times. Also, parchment paper seemed to work out fine for me, vs
aluminum foil.

These look fantastic, I cant wait to try them! I was just wondering if I could get nutritional information on
these? I dont need all of it, maybe just the calories, fat and sugar? Thanks!

Hi there, I dont calculate nutritional information for any recipes.

Hi Michelle, Ive made your Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bars, its a killer. And Im falling in love with the
combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Though Im not a big fan of peanut butter:). And this buckeye
brownies sounds and looks amazing good. I cant wait to try it. Just a little doubt about the chewy brownie
base, should I add 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate when making it as the original recipe has?

Michelle on July 2nd, 2013 at 8:22 pm
Hi Summer, I didnt, just because there was so much more going on with the brownies that made
them rich, I didnt feel they needed the extra chocolate, but you could definitely add it in if youd
like!

Quick question for you: would instant coffee work instead of instant espresso?
Reply
Michelle on August 25th, 2013 at 5:52 pm
Hi Brittany, Yes, that would work, as long as its instant powder.

These look delicious. I was looking for some brownies to bake for my boyfriend for our anniversary. These
would be great because he loves peanut butter. The problem is, I have to ship them because Im away at
college. Ive had experience shipping regular brownies and theyve turned out fine, but I never done any
with any kind of frosting. How do you think these will do with 2-day shipping?

Michelle on October 15th, 2013 at 1:13 pm
Hi Stephanie, I think they will be just fine, especially at this time of year (not too terribly hot). Just be
sure to pack the box night and tight, so they wont move around too much.

Brown Eyed Baker,
I am a HUGE fan of your blog, and just wanted to put a little comment out there. I think these are great, as
are all of your desserts. For these, I did a chocolate ganache on top (heavy cream, semi sweet c, chips). I
thought it added something nice. Just wanted to share. Keep cooking!:) so I can keep following and making
your delicious treats!

Hi there, these brownies look amazing! I am going to try them this weekend. Is there a reason why the
instant espresso powder is optional? What does it add if you use it and what are losing if you dont? Just
wondering, Ive never used any kind of coffee in baking and I personally hate the taste of coffee so I
wouldnt want that to ruin my brownie for me. Thanks!
Reply
Michelle on March 29th, 2014 at 1:23 pm
Hi Lisa, Coffee and espresso powder are actually fairly common ingredients in recipes using a lot of
chocolate. It helps to develop the chocolate flavor (in brownies, like these, it gives them a little
oomph) and you cant taste the chocolate at all.

Hi! This is a really good recipe!
I just made an attempt to translate it into Danish at my new blog:
http://min-mad.blogspot.dk/2014/04/peanutbutter-brownie.html#more
I think i baked my brownie a bit to long. Apart from that, it tasted amazing! :O
Thank you very much.
