These are downright delicious and a lot less work than a batch of buckeyes. The chocolate brownie layer is a deep chocolate, the icing is a sweet, smooth chocolate, and the peanut butter layer is to die for. It’s not sticky, gummy like a spoonful of peanut butter. It’s buttery smooth and not dry or grainy. I did use a hand mixer for the first two layers as I think it makes a smoother batter. Love these!

In reply to Donna.

Hi Donna! Oh no! That’s very strange, I haven’t had this happen before but I could make a few guesses from what you described.
1) Did you happen to use “natural” peanut butter? That can be more dry than the more conventional varieties and I could imagine it could possibly make the filling crumbly because of this.
2) Could the sugar have accidentally been over-measured? With how dry the mixture sounds I’m wondering if the sugar could’ve accidentally been over-measured. Much like measuring flour, it’s easy to accidentally overdo it if you scoop the sugar (it should be spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off or measured with a scale).
The one thing that’s really throwing me off is the way you described the butter separating out, that’s really strange as well and I’m wondering if, if you did use natural peanut butter, this was actually the oil from the peanut butter? I’m pretty stumped otherwise as it just doesn’t make sense to me why it’s happening. Let me know what you think, I’m happy to continue to help troubleshoot. Oh, and if it’s helpful I do have a video in the recipe card that shows how I make it in my kitchen/how it looks.

I made these, and I couldn’t get the texture of the peanut butter layer right. They made a ball, but weren’t very spreadable – more like we smushed them into a layer. We didn’t want to add more milk as the butter seemed to be separating out and the fudge was starting to get crumbly instead of more spreadable. They taste great, but I’m hesitant to use them for the cookie exchange because they don’t stick together between the brownie and the fudge. I’d like to fix the problem with another batch but I don’t know what to do differently. Help, please.

Hi Charolette! I am not familiar with high altitude baking so unfortunately I cannot advise on how to alter recipes. 🙁

I have a quick question that applies to a lot of your recipes. So you have a high altitude adjustment for these? I am planning on trying these today. A lot of times it is simply adding more flour, but just wanted to check.

My husband: “Dang, these are good! Where did you get the recipe?”
Me: “The same lady I get the no bake recipe from.”
My husband: “Well, tell her thank you.”

This recipe is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Hi Teresa! Sorry for the confusion here. I’ll have to update it. I used salted butter. 🙂

Do you recommend salted or unsalted butter?
Thanks

Hi Mikaela! You can refrigerate them if you want but you don’t have to. 🙂

Hi! I’m making these in the morning for a party in the evening. Should I refrigerate the brownies after baking them? Thanks!

These are amazing! I’ve made them several times, and they disappear right away every single time. The only one not happy with the situation is my waistline…

When I retired, one of the things I knew I would miss most were the peanut butter layer brownies our cafeteria made. This recipe is exactly like those brownies! I made them yesterday. They cut so cleanly. Would be a great dessert to take to a family get-together. They are rich and delicious and so easy to make.

In reply to Jane.

Hi Jane! You can always dust your hands with powdered sugar to help roll it smoothly. It does go well on top of brownies. 🙂

Why why why could I not get the buckeye balls to roll smooth. I tried everything ! Added 1/2 cup more powdered sugar and didn’t want to do anymore for fear of losing peanut butter taste. Refrigerators them, froze them, touch of cooling oil on my hands on and on!! So I using the mixture on top of brownies. We’ll see how that goes!!

Hi Mahina! Any kind will work, but I like to use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. 🙂

Hi Jillian! You shouldn’t have any issue freezing them. 🙂
