lazy buckeye brownies
I call these bars "lazy" because you use a boxed brownie mix. But if you have your own recipe and aren't feeling lazy (like me), then use your own! Versions of this recipe are all over Pinterest. I made them the other day, and my peanut butter lovers here couldn't get enough! They are scrumptious.

The middle is a thick and creamy peanut butter layer. On top is a nice layer of melted chocolate and peanut butter. They are the ultimate brownie for every peanut butter and chocolate lover.
