Buckeye bars are a classic American dessert that combines the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. These sweet and decadent treats are made with a layer of peanut butter filling sandwiched between two layers of chocolate chip cookie dough. The result is a rich and satisfying bar that is perfect for any occasion.
This recipe article provides step-by-step instructions for making buckeye bars from scratch. It also includes two variations: a gluten-free version and a vegan version. So, whether you have dietary restrictions or not, you can enjoy these delicious bars.

Great recipe my mom got at her office! It's an easy way to get the delicious taste of a buckeye with a little less work. I usually keep these in the fridge to keep them from getting too soft or melted.

I know its just the normal Buckeye recipe just made into squares instead of balls but if your anything like me...I hated that process, could never get my buckeyes to look all pretty and uniform and I didn't like the hole it left in the middle...

Steps:
- 1. Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper
- 2. Melt butter and add peanut butter, mix to combine.
- 3. Slowly add powdered sugar until you get a thick peanut butter mixture. It will remind you of really soft fudge and should hold together if rolled into a ball.
- 4. Melt 1 1/2 lbs of the chocolate chips and pour into the bottom of the parchment-lined pan. (I melt in microwave-easier not to burn, just check in 30 sec. intervals)
- 5. Let cool and harden, then press peanut butter mixture evenly over the chocolate.
- 6. Melt remaining chocolate, spread onto peanut butter, let harden. Cut into squares and Enjoy! Yummy!
