ReplyDeleteMy family and I are ex-Buckeyes (from Ohio) and traditional Buckeyes were always a holiday treat, although time consuming to make. I'll have to check out this version - I'm sure my kids will love them. Found you from a post on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I'm wondering...is it really a 8oz jar of PB? Or is it supposed to be an 18oz jar?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone have problems spreading the peanut butter layer?
ReplyDeleteI'm also wondering about the 8 oz jar of peanut butter. I think it should probably be 18. I'm making these as we speak so I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteAug 26th Anonymous- Just a small jar of peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteSep 9 Anonymous- Room temp peanut butter spreads fine for me all the time.
IF you all leave an email addy I can respond directly to your questions! susie
Is it tsp or tablespoons of butter? Also, 8 not 18 oz peanut butter?
ReplyDelete6 Tablespoons of butter
ReplyDelete8 oz creamy peanut butter (it is 1 cup or 8 oz.) but not 18 oz.
If you all would leave an email I could respond back to you individually! Hope you got the info.
This looks yummy. I am definitely trying it this weekend. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYummy ..omg I believe I will be gaining 5 pounds before Christmas...lol
ReplyDeleteI'd love this in a natural form now bought cake mix. I'm glueten intolerant so need to make everything from scratch
ReplyDeleteI'd love this from scratch not bought cake mix. I'm gluten intolerant so these ready mixes are not an option. A lot of American recipe books and blogs use these

Just got invited to a new year day party. This is what I will b taking, I have everything in my cupboard, sounds great cant wait to taste these and so much easier then the round buckeyes.
ReplyDeleteDo you melt the 2 cups of butter when you mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar??
ReplyDeleteHi Cierra-
ReplyDelete1/2 c. plus 6 Tablespoons butter, softened and divided
The buter is just 1/2 cup for the first step and it is just very soft, not melted. The last 6 Tablespoons does get melted with the chocolate chips to put on top.
Enjoy!! THese are so yummy
D you even really need the butter in the peanut butter layer. An awful lot of extra calories if it really won't make a difference if it's in there.

Hi Sandra,
I can't respond to your personally, I don't have an email add or anywhere to respond so I hope you see this message.
You don't have to use a mix for the bottom layer. Just make your own brownies from scratch and then do the two layers as directed. HOpe that helps!

Can't help but droll over this. Those brownies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to let them cool before you add the chocolate chips or can they cool.once they are added? It seems like it has two cooling stages if I am reading this right. ktvsmom@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIs the cooling step before adding the chocolate chips necessary or can it all cool at once?
ReplyDeleteMonica-
ReplyDeletePrepare and bake brownie mix in a greased 13"x9" baking pan according to package directions. Let cool. (Just let them cool why you do the next step)
Mix powdered sugar, 1/2 cup butter and peanut butter. Mix well and spread over cooled brownies. (the brownies will be cool enough to then add the peanut butter)
Chill for one hour. (if you don't let chill then you won't be able to spread on the chocolate layer)
Melt together chocolate chips and remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread over brownies. Let cool (letting them cool before eating is up to you ...if you can wait that long. You'll see when make them. they are worth it.)
; cut into squares. Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
These were delicious!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletethose look absolutely decadent! I will have to give that recipe at try :)
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy

Dang these look so good. You look a lot like a girl I used to know.
ReplyDeleteMy nephew would love to eat these - he is a huge peanut butter and chocolate fan.
ReplyDeleteHappy #ThrowbackThursdayLP Day!
Should these be refrigerated until served? I was going to bring to work but didn't know if it was best to keep in the fridge or if they could sit out.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteThese brownies can sit out or go in fridge. They are good either way.ENJOY!
My peanut butter mix came out clumpy is that right?
ReplyDeleteI found this recipe on Pintrest over a year ago and people request that I make these all the time!! I love peanut butter and these are delicious!! So glad you shared!! Will continue to make and share with others!!
