Buckeyes are a candy made from peanut butter fudge dipped in melted chocolate – so delicious!  These Keto Peanut Butter Brownies are inspired by the classic buckeye treat, using a base of chocolate brownies, topped with peanut butter fudge, followed by a layer of melted chocolate.

Keto Peanut Butter Brownies

Do you like brownies?

I've put together a few keto brownie recipes over the years, and companies like Lakanto have come up with foolproof brownie mixes that taste great and really reduce the amount of work needed to turn out a great product.

I already have a recipe for Keto Buckeyes  – and they're amazing!

But add a layer of brownies to the bottom?

They're a truly irresistible treat!

Keto Buckeye Brownies

For this recipe you can either use my Keto Almond Butter Brownie recipe found HERE (and in the recipe card)

Or, you can purchase Lakanto Brownie Mix and make them according to the package instructions for the brownie base.

For the peanut fudge layer, all you have to do is mix no-sugar added peanut butter and Lakanto Powdered Sweetener until the peanut butter has formed a melty fudge consistency and spread over the cooled brownies.

And for the top chocolate layer, simply melt butter and Lily's chocolate chips and spread over the cooled peanut butter fudge layer.

Cool, slice, and serve!

Storing Keto Peanut Butter Brownies

The Keto Peanut Butter Brownies should set up in under 1 hour in the refrigerator once assembled.  

These store well in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, or slice and freeze separately to keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
