An easy to make crowd pleasing brownie dessert with 3 delicious layers of chocolate and peanut butter!

Lazy Buckeye Brownies

We were teased with an early Spring here in central Wisconsin. We had the windows open and it felt like pool days were right around the corner! I should have known it was too good to be true – we went back to Fall like temperatures and flurries. I feel like the only way to cope is by baking these Buckeye Brownies and keeping it easy by using a boxed brownie mix, of course.

If you like easy recipes as much as I do, then you’ll love these No Bake Avalanche Cookies, 5-Minute Vegan Chocolate Crunch Cups, or Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 box Brownie Mix + Ingredients on Box
• 1/2 cup + 6 tbsp Butter, Softened
• 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 tsp Milk
• 1 cup Chocolate Chips

How to Make Buckeye Brownies with Brownie Mix

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
• Make brownie mix according to directions. (I like to use the fudge brownie directions instead of the cake brownies, but either works.)
• Let cool.
• Beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tsp milk until smooth and creamy.
• Spoon peanut butter mixture onto the cooled brownies and spread with your hand.
• In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips and 6 tbsp butter and microwave until melted, stopping every 15 seconds to stir.
• Pour over peanut butter mixture and spread out evenly. Let sit to harden.
