I love buckeyes. And I am not talking about the Ohio State Buckeyes, I don’t like to talk about them. I am an Illini fan. I am talking about the chocolate peanut butter buckeyes that are insanely delicious. The ones you pop in your mouth and keep popping until they are gone and you have a stomachache. I love those buckeyes.
Well, I was recently looking at recipes on Better Homes and Gardens and I came across a recipe for Peanutty Buckeye Bars. I immediately bookmarked the recipe. Buckeyes, but in bar form? Count me in!
I was waiting for the perfect reason/excuse to make these bars. Well, it was our friend’s birthday and he is a huge peanut butter and chocolate fan, just like me. So I pulled up the Peanutty Buckeye Bars recipe and got baking. It was time to celebrate. Everyone deserves a special birthday treat.
The bars are simple to make and will blow your mind. They go a little something like this-a layer of rich chocolaty brownie with crunchy peanuts, a layer of creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk, and another layer of peanutty brownie.
You are craving Peanutty Buckeye Bars, huh? It happened to me too! These bars are a must make!
For the recipe, check out my guest post on BHG! Enjoy!
Maria they look crazyyyyyyy good! I am all about layered bars, especially with chocolate + PB! But unfortunately I can’t get that link to work for the recipe. It’s a 404 error, page not found 🙁
Hi Averie! I just tried it and it is working for me! Please try again and let me know if the link is working! Thanks!
gah. These sound amazing. I love the treat buckeyes (you know I went to Penn State so I can’t say I love the other kind of buckeye ;). In bar form? Amazing! Happy Friday!!
Mmmm…this is the first recipe I’ve looked at this morning. Can I have one or two for breakfast?
YES! 🙂

I mean. WOW. Yes to this!
I love what you do to me.
Wow! These look so good!
Laughing at your statement about NOT being an Ohio State Buckeye fan! Me either! I live in Columbus now, but have always been and will always be a Michigan Wolverine!
Cannot wait to try this recipe!
YES YES YES YES YES!! Love these bars. Seriously, i am in love! Thank you!
Hush now on that Ohio State hatred haha. At least you’re not a Michigan fan, then we would have some issues :-P. But definitely agree that the buckeye candies and everything inspired by them is amazing. Loving these bars.
Buckeye girl, through and through! The candy AND the teams/school. 🙂 These brownies look good!
We don’t have brownie mix here; how would you recommend we make this from scratch? Enquiring peanut butter and chocoholics would love to know! Thanks!
You can use your favorite from scratch brownie recipe.
Being a native of Ohio I love anything that tastes like a buckeye! I cannot wait to try these!
I’ve never heard of buckeyes. Looks yummy!
I love buckeyes and these look SO delish! Perfect for indulging between all those summer salads, heh…
Yummmm!! What an awesome recipe!
These look wonderful. We are huge fans of the chocolate peanut butter combo.
Oh, and GO ILLINI!
OMG. I think this is the recipe I’ve been waiting for all my life! Thanks for sharing….and I thought you were going sans sugar this week. Must’ve made these weeks ago? I know there’s no way anyone could resist these 😉
Oh my goodness, these look amazing! I would love for you to share this at what i am eating http://www.townsend-house.com/2013/04/what-i-am-eating-homemade-coconut-milk.html
Oh man, these are going to derail all of the healthy eating plans for the weekend for sure!
Wow, these look so good! There’s a whole lot of yumminess going on in these bars that I love!
Love buckeyes so will check out this recipe.

These look fantastic!
So delish!!! I would love these!!!
Yum, these look so delicious!
These look amazing, love the layers!
These bars totally have my name written all over them! Love them!
They look decadent and so delicious Maria.
I can’t find the recipe for peanutty bars
The peanut butter/chocolate combo doesn’t get any better than this! I definitely need these in my life.
Brownies and Buck Eyes? Maria, you are so making your way into my heart!
Those look delicious, Maria!
Buckeyes are great! These look great, too!
YUM. I love buckeyes…these look so tasty!
These look incredible! I love buckeyes!
I love all the layers! And the recipe looks so easy!
Buckeyes are definitely a favorite here, so I’ll have to give these a try! Funny tidbit- For some weird reason I keep reading the title of these as “Peanut Butty” instead of “Peanutty”. lol!
These look delicious! I’m a fan of your site but now that I know you’re an Illini fan too I’m an even bigger fan!! I-L-L!!
It always floors me when people haven’t heard of buckeyes. This looks perfect!
My dad’s birthday is coming up, he will LOVE these!
Am I supposed to follow my brownie box directions or only add what this recipe says to add to my brownie mix?? Thanks
Yum! I’ve never heard of a Buckeye (I’m a British-Australian, don’t blame me!) but if the original is anything like these bars, I’m completely on to it!! Definitely making this recipe. love your blog also. Gorgeous colours, recipes and writing.
As an Ohio State Buckeye, I have to say your first few sentences made me laugh. I never thought of turning our beloved chocolate coated, peanut butter candies into bar form. They look delicious.
These look delicious! On my ‘to try’ list now…and, GO ILLINI! 🙂

Hey! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours require a large amount of work?
I’m completely new to operating a blog however I do write
in my diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share
my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new
aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
Now I’m nervous. I made these, waiting for them to cool, but I’m confused. My brownie mix calls for 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup of water. I left out the water and reduced the oil to the 1/3 cup you call for. Hope that’s right! They seemed dry. I was confident until I read the response when you told someone they could substitute their favorite brownie recipe. Crossing my fingers!
Go Bucks!
Wouldn’t open for me
