Buckeye Bars

 

I am all about anything chocolate and peanut butter flavored and these Buckeye Bars are out of this world. I have a recipe for classic Buckeyes, which are perfectly bite-sized, but these bars are next level! They have one thick layer of peanut butter filling that tastes so similar to Reese's and then they are layered with some smooth delicious chocolate on top.

Don't you just want to take a bite out of these bars?? You've got to make them and they are the perfect no-bake treat!
