Buckeye Brownies

Chocolate and peanut butter are such a natural combination that it doesn’t matter they share a name with the Ohio State mascot.

Ingredients

  • 1 batch Good Dee’s Brownies (follow directions for fudge-like brownies)
  • ¾ cup peanut butter
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup powered erythritol, sifted
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3½ ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, with an overhang for easy removal. Prepare the brownie batter as directed for fudge-like brownies. Bake the brownies as directed and let cool in the pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt together peanut butter and butter. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  3. Stir in powdered sweetener, a little at a time, until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled brownies and refrigerate 1 hour, until set.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes to melt.
  5. Add the sweetener and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Let sit a few minutes to thicken, then spread over the peanut butter layer.
  6. Lift brownies out by edges of parchment paper and cut into squares.
