Peanutty Buckeye Bars

What could be better than chocolate and peanutbutter!
I thought this was a great recipe and easy ---But what with the name---Buckeyes?

Peanutty Buckeye Bars

Ingredients
1 19.5-ounce package brownie mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Stir in peanuts. Remove half of the brownie mixture and set aside. Spread the remaining brownie mixture evenly into prepared pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Spread evenly over brownie mixture in pan. Separate the remaining brownie mixture into pieces, flatten them with your fingers, and place them on top of the brownie mixture in pan.

Oh Denise, your blog is so fun! I crave the adventure that you are on. Well, maybe I'll get there someday. I'm sure there is a lot of hard work and some home sickness to though.
It was great to talk to you on the phone the other day. I'm glad that all is well!

Aunt Denise, I came across your blog and it is so fun to see what you two are up to in Africa.
Rob just graduated from Ohio State last year, so I feel obligated to share my wealth of knowledge on the subject of Buckeyes. The Buckeye is a poisonous nut indigenous to Ohio and happens to be OSU's mascot. A favorite game-time treat is to make peanut butter and chocolate candy in the shape of Buckeyes. They are delicious! So there you have it, peanut butter and chocolate together = Buckeye anything.
Keep up all the great work. Maybe by the time we are done with school we can see you back in AZ. Love you! Tell Uncle Ralph hi for me.
