Buckeye Brownie Cups are the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Layers of brownie, peanut butter, and a creamy chocolate topping….perfect for those sweet tooth cravings!
Since one of my favorite dessert combinations is chocolate peanut butter and I LOVE brownies, I decided to combine them all into one flavorful sweet treat!
Putting the brownies into muffin cups turns these into individual servings, making them perfect for on the go, parties, gatherings, or to enjoy throughout the week.
By using boxed brownie mix, these were ready for the oven in about 5 minutes! Once the brownies had cooled, the filling took an additional 5 minutes!
Not only can these be made quickly, but they also store perfectly, so you can make them ahead of time and enjoy once needed (or wanted).
