Buckeye Fudge

Ingredients

• 1 c. chocolate chips
• 2 T. peanut butter
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1 c. peanut butter
• 2 c. powdered sugar

Steps

1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with foil.
2. Place 1/2 c. chocolate chips and 1T. peanut butter into a microwave safe dish. Microwave in 30 second increments until the chocolate is smooth.
3. Pour melted chocolate/peanut butter mixture into lined pan. Smooth to form a bottom crust. Place in refrigerator while working on peanut butter layer.
4. Place 1/2 c. butter and 1 c. peanut butter into a saucepan. Melt over medium heat. Once it is all melted together, remove from heat and add in 2 c. powdered sugar.
5. Place the peanut butter layer on top of the first chocolate layer. It can’t really be poured , so just take a chunk of it in your hands and flatten it. Place this piece on top of the chocolate crust. Repeat this until peanut butter layer is completely covering chocolate crust.
6. Repeat step 2 and 3 with the remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter. Pour on top of the peanut butter middle to form a top “crust” of chocolate.
7. Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting. These are really best if you store them in the fridge in an air tight container once they have been cut into bite-sized squares.
8. If trying to feed a crowd, you could easily double the chocolate crust layers and make this in a 9×13″ pan while keeping the same peanut butter proportions. The peanut butter layer would be smaller, but it would still be just as delicious.
