Peanut Butter Layer:
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter 1 cup creamy peanut
- 12 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Execution
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Layer
- The oven should be heated to 350°F (175degC). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or cover it with parchment paper to make for easy removal.
- Mix the brownie batter in accordance with the instructions on the box or make your own brownie mix. Put the brownie batter in the pan that you have prepared.
- Bake at the recommended time by the manufacturer on the label (usually between 20 and 25 minutes). When the baking is done, allow the brownies to be completely cool.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Layer
- In the large mixing bowl blend the peanut butter’s creamy consistency with softened butter. Mix until smooth and blended.
- Then, gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until the texture becomes creamy and silky smooth.
- When the brownies are cool, sprinkle the peanut butter mix equally across that brownie layer.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
- In a microwave-safe bowl mix the chocolate chips with heavy cream.
- Microwave the mix in 30-second intervals. Stir every interval until the chocolate has completely melting and soft.
- Pour warm chocolate ganache onto the layer of peanut butter and spread the chocolate evenly using the spatula.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- The brownies should be refrigerated for at least one hour or until the chocolate ganache is firm.
- After cooling, cut into rectangles or squares and enjoy the tasty Buckeye Brownie recipe!
Tips for the Recipe:
About: the Best Buckeye Brownie Recipe :
- Allow the brownies to cool Fully Before you add the layer of peanut butter make sure that the brownies are cool to temperatures at room temperature. If they’re overly warm and the peanut butter mix could melt and cause mess.
- Utilize Smooth Peanut Butter for smooth, creamy layer of peanut butter, go for a smooth peanut butter. Peanut butter made from natural ingredients with separation of oil can leave the layer look grainy.
- Microwave Ganache Carefully When you make the ganache, be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Mix it often to create an even, smooth consistency.
- Refrigeration Time is Important: letting the brownies sit in the fridge can help the layers firm up which makes cutting more efficient and tidy.
- Play around with Toppings Add some sea salt, a handful of chopped peanuts or peanut butter cups to the the top of the ganache to give it added flavor.
