Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking until smooth after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping has set.
Once set, slice into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy these rich and decadent Buckeye Brownies!
