Recipe for Buckeye Brownie Cookies
If you’re from the Ohio area, you’re probably already familiar with the candy known as “buckeyes;” however, for those of you outside the midwest, this sweet treat is just peanut butter balls coated in chocolate. It’s sort of like a rolled up, bite sized REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup. If you’ve never experienced a buckeye before I insist that you stop whatever you’re doing and whip up this recipe for buckeye brownie cookies right now. It takes buckeyes to the next level. Seriously, this is something you need to try… and what better time than around the holidays, right? 😉
In my opinion, these buckeye brownie cookies are perfect for the holiday season for several reasons. One, they’re a little over the top in terms of sweetness but the holidays are the unofficial time of the year to indulge. Diets are for January, right? Two, this recipe for buckeye brownie cookies is pretty simple because you start with a brownie mix base. (Don’t worry, that doesn’t make them any less tasty!) Three, unlike some of my other favorite Christmas recipes (reindeer marshmallow pops, Christmas tree brownie bites, and Oreo ornament cookies) these buckeye brownie cookies don’t require any decorating. Don’t get me wrong, those other recipes are also pretty quick and easy but they do require a little dressing up.
