triple layer peanut butter crunch brownies

Triple Layer Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies. Three layers of sweet chocolate deliciousness. One fudgey brownie layer, one creamy peanut butter layer, and one crunchy chocolate layer. These brownies are over the top indulgent…the ideal end of the week treat to sink your teeth into!

Serious question for you guys, do you watch football, or do you participate in fantasy football? As you might guess, I don’t partake in either, BUT all of the men in my life do. Sure, I kind of enjoy having Sunday night football on in the background, as it reminds of being a kid and Sunday nights spent with my family. But if I’m being honest, I really don’t care much to actually watch the game.

Anyone with me? I feel like I’m not alone on this.

All that said, I love the idea of football. When football season starts back up that means fall is here, and of course that has me excited. I also love making a good game day recipe. In the past I’ve made a lot of pull apart bread, buffalo chicken, chili, and soft pretzels, but today I’m going the sweeter route and taking inspiration from a classic Ohio dessert, buckeyes (also known as chocolate peanut butter balls, also knows as addicitingly good).

Most of you know that I’m originally from Ohio, so I grew up eating Buckeyes every fall throughout football season, and to this day they are probably one of my favorite desserts. What’s not to love about peanut butter balls covered in chocolate?

INGREDIENTS

• 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
• 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
