This traditional farmhouse recipe for fresh and delectable peach jam was handed down by my great-aunt Doris. It only calls for a few basic ingredients. It tastes well with bread, cereal, or ice cream.

Brought these to a bake sale and they looked nice. Could have been a bit more sturdy for the sale. I put chopped Reese’s pieces on top for the decoration. They were Delicious!
Followed the box recipe for the brownies and then followed this recipe as written except I did sift my powdered sugar. This is a fantastic recipe and will be making it again!! My best friend even texted me to scold me for bringing her more than one cuz she couldn’t leave them alone! Lol You can leave these on the counter for a while to soften everything or refrigerate them. Both ways are so good!
Like a peanut butter cup brownie!. My only issue is they tend to call apart between the layer.
The filling didn’t spread as easily as I expected but it looks great! I didn’t have chocolate chips so I used ready-made milk chocolate frosting.
Neighbor’s loved it. Cut into small pieces very rich.
Super easy recipe and totally delicious .I will make these again everyone loved them. TY 🙂
I’ve made this recipe several times now, and it’s always a hit! I changed it up last time I made it. I made the brownies in a thinner layer, cut them in half and layered them. Alternating the brownie/peanut butter layers. I then poured the melted chocolate chips over the whole thing and covered the sides like a small layer cake. It looked great. I just renamed it “Double decker Buckeye Brownies “. Again it was a hit! Unfortunately I forget to take a picture of it! Next time…
Easy and AWESOME!
My new favorite brownie recipe!! Made them 2 times this week! One time for my sons that were coming to visit and one time to take to work. Everyone raved about them. Followed the recipe exactly. No reason to change anything!!
These are easy and delicious! We will definitely make these again. Just need to let KevinBaken know that the name Buck Eye is not a reference to a buck deer’s eye ball but a reference to the seeds that are dropped by an Ohio Buck Eye tree. There is absolutely nothing inhumane about these brownies. We always made the Buckeye Balls which are better than these but sooo much more work. These brownies are a quick and easy replacement.
These were so good and so easy! We have dairy allergies in our family, so we substituted plant butter and enjoy life chips. Delicious!
My husband and daughter both liked them but said it needed more brownie. Next time I’ll bake the brownie in a smaller pan so it’s thicker and adjust the other layers.
First of all I have to call them Wolverine Brownies….no disrespect for my Ohio State brethren haha! Really really good but I cut the powdered sugar in half and they were still plenty sweet. If you dont like insanely sweet treats I suggest you do same. With that one change I will make these many more times!!!
I luv this recipe. I made a change tho. In the pb layer I did 1 cup pb,1/2 cup butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 oz cream cheese. It is a subtle delicious treat
Everybody loved them so much, so easy to make (followed the recipe). If you don’t want to call them buckeye brownies, you can call them peanut butter cup brownies. Warning they are addictive, cut in small pieces.
Omg!!!! These are ridiculously good!!!!! Made them for the Super Bowl. I might have one for breakfast right now
These were so easy , it was almost too easy. They are yummy.
I make these every year for our family reunion and they are a big hit!
Very good but must be kept refrigerated.
Best darn dessert on this planet, period (for those who love chocolate & peanut butter flavors together). If you don’t, but love chocolate, just make it w/o the peanut butter filling for a chocoholic delight. This made a huge batch and I would’ve gained 10lbs because I would’ve eaten the whole pan in about 2 days, so we froze the reminder and it worked great. Just take out a few at a time and let them thaw at room temp…still delish!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I like these browies
