LAZY BUCKEYE BROWNIES
I call these bars "lazy" because you use a boxed brownie mix. But if you have your own recipe and aren't feeling lazy (like me) then use your own! This recipe is all over Pinterest. I made them the other day and my peanut butter lovers here couldn't get enough! They are scrumptious.

- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting them, as this will help the frosting to set properly.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- To make the frosting even more decadent, add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter to it.
- If you don't have any peanut butter chips, you can use chopped peanuts instead.
