Buckeye Brownies

Buckeye brownies taste like the classic candy, but better! My recipe is made with a chewy chocolate brownie base layered with peanut butter fudge and a chocolate topping.
These buckeye brownies are like no other brownie you’ve had before! We start with a chewy brownie base, add a layer of creamy peanut butter fudge, then finish with a two-ingredient chocolate topping. Personally, I think this is the best way to eat buckeyes, but I might be biased.
Despite all the decadence and impressive layers, these brownies are actually quite easy to make. Each component takes just a few minutes to prepare with no fancy tools needed.
