Buckeye Brownies

By

Buckeye Brownies are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. There are three layers, brownies, peanut butter frosting, and a chocolate glaze

I do not think there is a better sweet and salty combination than peanut butter and chocolate. Am I alone with this? I think I love it so much because it cuts the sweetness of the chocolate and just leads to the perfect flavor combination.

When I came up with this buckeye brownie, I thought I was the first one to make this flavor combination until I searched the web after making them and realized that there are tons of recipes for them already. So much for being original, but when I took the first bite of them, I thought I was original and had a moment of victory.  It’s fine that I wasn’t the first one to come up this idea because they are delicious, and you have to make them.
