 ● MAKES 32 BROWNIES  in 40 MINUTES ●
 

These homemade layered brownies are so decadent, they might make you feel a little weak in the knees. Our Buckeye Brownies start off with a yummy homemade brownie batter, and then they get a creamy peanut butter filling for the next layer. To take 'em to the next level, we top these off with a 3-ingredient chocolate glaze. Put it all together, and the entire neighborhood will be lining up for a square!

 ●    What You'll Need

• 4 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
• 1 1/2 sticks butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped peanuts
•  
• Peanut Butter Layer
• 2 cups peanut butter
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
•  
• Chocolate Glaze
• 4 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

●    What to Do

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt unsweetened chocolate and 1-1/2 sticks butter in microwave on high 2 minutes or just until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. (This can also be done in a saucepan on stove over low heat.) Stir in granulated sugar then mix in the beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well blended. Stir in flour and peanuts then spread in baking dish. 
3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs; do not overbake. Cool in baking dish.
4. Meanwhile, to make Peanut Butter Layer, in a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until well blended and smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
5. To make the Chocolate Glaze, place the semisweet chocolate, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat mixture in microwave on high 2 minutes or just until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. (This can also be done in a saucepan on stove over low heat.) Spread over peanut butter layer. Cool until set then cut into squares.

    ●    Test Kitchen Tip

• Make sure to ask if anyone is allergic to peanuts before serving these up at a potluck or to the neighborhood kids. Remember to grab a big glass of cold milk to wash them down, otherwise you’ll wind up with peanut butter-mouth! That’s where you’re mouth clamps shut. You know what we mean. It's happened to all of us once or twice!
   
• Love these ooey-gooey Buckeye Brownies? We've got more layered desserts like our yummy Frozen S'mores Stack and for something that's summertime-perfect, try our Layered Strawberry Cake! 
   
• The great thing about this recipe, is it's one you can definitely make with the kids or grandkids. There's always something special about making memories while creating something in the kitchen. If you whip up this recipe, tell us all about in the comments below!

 Nope just trying to keep the cholesterol down.    ★  I do good share of cheat meals from this thread  ....  good idea.    

OK I try to balance recipes  somewhat    - but -  mainly look for good and relatively easy to make and still delicious  ready for your next  ● GAMEDAY ●  or family meal.   Translation :  I try to mix grilling and oven and easy to follow instructions to serve to your family and friends.           (And not all pizzas and tacos or wings everytime  for get-togethers.)   

And you can save some  $$$  when you stay off the phone and  MAKE IT YOURSELF !

You  can  mix some lettuce in with your other menus and be easy to do and still be  delicious  too !

That is my challenge to do with ideas from you fellow readers  and I thank you.   Just  read this page number 89..... for example. 

 SO  Bon Appétit   and have some fun on your next  get-together.
